Trump says he has 'no choice' but to support electric vehicles because Elon Musk 'endorsed me

[TheCount]

Former President Donald Trump said he had "no choice" but to support electric vehicles after Tesla CEO Elon Musk "endorsed" him.

That's because:

"The White House's infrastructure tracking website shows that only 15 charging stations have been installed so far. An analysis published by research firm Atlas Public Policy shows that each station received about $770,000 in federal funding."

Trump will fix that for Elon, just like he did for Pfizer when Pfizer gave Trump $1,000,000 for his Inauguration Event in 2016.

Trump likes to "Nationalize" everything, because "communism".


But at least, after you pay for it, it will be a "choice" whether you use it or not.

Just wait for some whopper future flip-flops from Trump.

You'll get so much freedom that you won't be able to sit down.

However, he also criticized EV infrastructure and Biden's EV mandates.

Former President Donald Trump said he had "no choice" but to support electric vehicles after Tesla CEO Elon Musk "endorsed" him.
Trump then went on to criticize the EV industry at length.

"Not everybody has to have an electric car. I told him that," Trump said, referencing Musk. "So we're going to get rid of that mandate if you don't mind. Some people want gasoline-propelled cars, some people want a hybrid, and some people like an electric car."

IT'S A JOKE, he's making a joke.

And he wants MORE freedom, not less.

Try reading the article instead of the twisted headline and out of context quote of a joke.

Utter inversion of the truth, Trump attacked the mandate and the subsidies.

You never did get back to me several times about that Agenda47 "American University" where he wants to fine private donations.

[Swordsmyth]

More freedom, like he did with Pfizer:

You are lying, that's not what he said, he said the opposite.

[Swordsmyth]

Trump has also repeatedly criticized the cost of installing EV chargers nationwide.

Oh, and I believe you and not his prior Record concerning other/similar things.

So how about that "Nationalized" American University?

You can believe his record of deregulation, particularly about CAFE regulations on cars.
He's always fought against "green" subsidies and mandates.

I don't know how anti-Trumpers even survive on their diet of 100% bull$#@!. I prefer grass fed cattle MEAT.

Deregulation is great. But not when passing into law complete immunity for Big Pharm and Local LEO - all while increasing the debt by giving away federal tax dollars to those special interests. And then go on to pardon actual criminals who harm people, while not granting pardons to heroes who warn about such things.

Well if Trump will be all over this EV nonsense i dont support Trump.

Anti-can't keep his word. He writes too many checks with his mouth. A big spending, war mongering, anti 2nd amendment POS. Hang your hat on that if you wish.

Nice spin. He has no problem pushing government to shut down private businesses.
“We did the right thing, we closed the country down.” “I could have kept it open & I could have done what some countries are doing.” “I had to shut it down, we did the right thing.” “They can’t do anything without the approval of the President of the United States.”

So he didn't already lose your support when he was all over the Ethanol nonsense (to name just one similar kind of nonsense)?

Wait wait wait...I thought the ana-cap's position was that there should be no regulations on any business enterprise, ever, of any type?

That only the market and the market alone decides whether a business enterprise is acting in good faith and providing a quality, safe and effective product?

It looks like, from this post. that you're arguing that some businesses should be sued or prosecuted for death and damages their failed products caused and that certain criminals should be prosecuted as well.

Well, now you're right back to square one: because that means judges and cops and laws and juries and prisons and so on.

Sounds like you actually are a minarchist.

Don't make Trumpscuses. My position is that of both minarchists and full anarchists.

The person or persons harmed should have every right to prosecute in the event of damages/harm/death. It was your guy who prevented that, while at the same time gave your tax dollars to private corporations [corporate welfare of magnitude to the Nth degree].

There is are serious logical and functional differences between these statements. They're not really even on the same continent.

1) I believe the process of handling criminal behavior can and should be handled by market forces

2) I believe the state should take an active role in prohibiting the handling of criminal behavior perpetrated by certain actors

Is your assumption that free markets could not provide judges, cops, laws, juries, and prisons?

[dannno]

You're the one lying here. You have a history of it

You can argue all you want about the first President in decades not to start any new wars, stop funding ISIS, start to wind the wars down, get friendly with North Korea, help create major peace treaties, etc, being a "war monger", but SS is not lying "here", that is absolutely ridiculous.

Trump literally gets up for 3 hours and does stand-up comedy at his rallies. If this didn't come off as a joke to you, then I don't know what to say. Either you've never heard him speak before, or you have zero sense of humor.

We can debate Trump on 2A, I will say you are wrong, we can argue on and on..

SS is not lying "here", it's the anti-Trumpers in the thread who are lying "here". This is not even up for debate.
