Trump enjoys doing things that no other President has ever done. Most of his “innovations” are efforts to make money. Selling meme coins, Bibles, sneakers, etc. Now he is selling Teslas at the White Hiuse to help his buddy Elon Musk, the richest man in the world. Things have not been going well for Tesla. Its stock price plummeted in recent weeks, after Musk became Trump’s hatchet man. Trump announced that he’s buying a Tesla to support Elon.
Rex Huppke of USA Today reacted to Trump’s generosity:
As the stock market continues to tank, President Donald Trump – champion of the forgotten men and women of America – is doing what any pro-fossil-fuel, regular-Joe patriot would do in times of economic anxiety: He’s buying an expensive electric car from the richest man in the world.
That’s right, rather than focus on egg prices or overall grocery prices or any of the things he promised American voters he would do to make their lives better, Trump is coming to the aid of Elon Musk, whose Tesla company has taken a beating in recent weeks. The reason for that beating stems from the fact that Musk – who, again, is the richest man in the world – has become the unelected co-president of the United States and is getting federal workers fired by the tens of thousands.
Turns out people don’t like that, and they don’t like him, and that has naturally led to people to not like Teslas.
Forbes reported Tuesday that “Tesla’s 2025 losses are staggering, as its nearly 45% year-to-date decline makes it the worst-performing company listed on the S&P 500.”
So Trump came to what he thinks is the aid of his biggest benefactor, the man the president put in charge of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.Trump blames Tesla troubles on ‘Radical Left Lunatics,’ ‘illegal’ boycott
Trump posted on social media: “Elon Musk is ‘putting it on the line’ in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s ‘baby,’ in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for.”
If you still believe in capitalism, I’m not quite sure what an “illegal” boycott is, but whatever. Words don’t mean much these days.

TESLA sales have dropped like a nuclear bomb throughout the world, not only the US. The only exception was Britian.
Many in the US are protesting Maniac Musk but more are doing it outside of the US.

Still, to the Traitorous Felon and Convicted Rapist in the White House, it’s the US liberal’s fault. His fascist doomsday MAGA cult eats the liar’s diarrhea gushing from the lifelong cheater’s mouth like it is chocolate pudding.

I got this from a Canadian friend who doesn’t like Trump and doesn’t want to become our 51st state. [It’s a little off topic but thought it’s cute enough to be read by everyone who thinks like I do concerning the Orange Pathological Liar.]
Snow White, Superman and Pinocchio are out for a stroll in town one day.
As they walk, they come across a sign: “Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world.”
I’m entering.”, says Snow White.
After half an hour she comes out and they ask her, “Well, how did you do?”
“First place.”, says Snow White.
They continue walking and they see a sign: “Contest for the strongest man in the world.”
“I’m entering.”, says Superman.
After half an hour he returns and they ask him, “How did you make out?”
“First place,” answers Superman. “Did you ever doubt?”
They continue walking when they see a sign: “Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?”
Pinocchio says, “This is mine.”
Half an hour later, he returns with tears in his eyes.
“What happened?”, they ask.
“Who the hell is Donald Trump?”, asks Pinocchio.

I always thought he was more of a used car salesman than a President — not that I’d buy a used skateboard from him, of course …

People in the Chicago area have been having large protests at Tesla dealerships &, most certainly, will continue to do so as time goes on. I’m very much hoping (lots of Tesla owners around where I live) that owners will trade them in & that less will be on the road, hoping they entirely disappear from our streets.
