BY AVERY ANAPOL - 03/15/18 09:51 AM EDT
President Trump on Wednesday said that Japan uses something called a bowling ball test to keep American car companies from selling to Japanese consumers.
In remarks on trade policy given at a private GOP fundraising dinner, the president ripped Japan and other U.S. allies for taking advantage of the United States, according to the Washington Post.
Its the bowling ball test, he said. They take a bowling ball from 20 feet up in the air and drop it on the hood of the car. If the hood dents, the car doesnt qualify. Its horrible.
Trump may have been joking and using a bit of hyperbole with the remark.
The Post noted that it was unclear what he was talking about.

Even if Trump is impeached and out of office within a year, it will take us a generation or more to rebuild trust
