For once I agree with him.

There's something of a Nash equilibrium with everyone needing a bigger and bigger truck to stay safe. These giant trucks are very unsafe for pedestrians and use up lots of unnecessary space. Reversing this trend would be great.

"with many lacking even airbags". Meaning there are some that include it and that is only if you imported from Japan.
Trump wants to manufacture in the US. All you'd do is build the US made cars with the necessary safety features like normal.

If there's one thing that MAGAts love, it's humungous trucks and SUVs. I can't see his most fanatical supporters driving tiny cars.
