Hearing Trump talk about how the car has ‘computer’ (during the news conference) made me think back to a news event with George H.W. Bush in a supermarket, seeing a grocery barcode scanner for the first time.
Same kind of inquisitive and excited response from both of them.
Trump did a supermarket thing while out doing his disinformation circuit, and the owner guy was trying to explain things to him and you could tell Trump had never grocery shopped and then quickly lost interest and tuned the guy completely out.
The McDonald’s fries thing was also amusing when he learned “how fries were made” and that they put them in a basket and not scoop them out by hand lol.

They could have let him learn that the hard way, but no.
Bobbing for fries might sound more like fun to him.
You know, Don, when a man potato and a woman potato love each other…
Imagine if everyone in the world would just say “fuck no, I am not cooking for you” and the billionaires would die of starvation because they don’t know how to do. Hilarious.
Fucker Carlson shopping in Moscow can be put there too since he is another head of the MAGA hydra.

Like fuck he paid for it
$90k is nothing for these people.
You have any clue how much Trump is stealing from tax payers? The dude is making a fortune off being president.
Ever wondered if this tariff yes tariff no spiel is just stock maipulation?
just for a second, now it’s canon
That’s like an hour of playing gold for him
Will this be the car he now occupies in the motorcade?
It’d be such a shame if it caught fire.
But then, Chump never drives anyway so…
🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
If this were a movie, (that I was writing) The car would glitch and lock Dumpster inside, then burst into flames. He would push the panic button, then look through the smoky windows at fElon laughing demonically, while Dumpster lights-outs coughing and railing against the betrayal, and injustice of it all.
Fade to black. Cough
No seriously please get this script hammered out and get an animator
Post credits scene will be fElon taking a seat behind the desk in the oval office.
Which suddenly also burst into flames and cut to black almost immediately.
Which fades into POV held tied in a carriage with a blond man telling you you’ve been trying to cross the borders…
Would be even better if elon were in there with him
Pushing the panic button would be cross-wired to make the fart noise.
Most likely bought with taxpayer money.
Russian taxpayer money, yes.
Pay? Why would he pay? Does he ever pay for anything?
I gladly pay you tomorrow for a Tesla today.
Free scrap metal is free scrap metal
he sure as shit doesn’t pay for his crimes.
Proving, once again, what complete fucking idiot he is! <car catches fire behind him >

Duh. The dude has the intellect of a 90-year-old rotten turd. What the fuck did you expect from him? Are you fucking stupid enough to think he would do any differently than suck Elon’s ball sack on the front lawn of the White House in front of a bunch of cameras?
If you did, I found the Trump voter.
Musk did some crazy brand management with Twitter, but the Tesla/Trump stuff has got to be unparalleled in the history of branding. He built a product that was an identity-broadcasting thing for liberals and then pulled a 180 and drove as hard as one could possibly imagine in the other direction.
Even if he had some idea of selling to conservatives, become the only EV manufacturer selling to that segment, he could have put out a different brand, which lots of manufacturers do, and mitigate losses to the original brand.

Tesla owners offloading their cars over Elon Musk backlash are in for a nasty surprise
-
Some Tesla owners are considering selling their cars as backlash against Elon Musk and DOGE grows.
-
They may have to take a serious haircut, with prices for used Teslas plummeting in recent years.
-
The average price of a pre-owned Tesla is now $30,000, nearly $10,000 less than a non-Tesla EV.

Stifel’s Think Tank Group data has shown that Democrats’ net favorability of Tesla fell to -15% from 7% since February 2024, while Republicans’ rose to 27% from 11%. Democrats’ net purchase consideration for Tesla vehicles also dropped to -42% from -31% since Musk endorsed Trump in August, while Republicans’ improved to -13% from -26% in the same period, per Stifel.
“There is a clear negative shift from Democrats, while Republicans willingness to buy a Tesla is rising… This backlash has surfaced anecdotally and on social media (people placing bumper stickers on their Tesla’s claiming they love the car, but not Elon, and other variations),” the analyst noted.
Car brand history has a lot in store if youre interested. You can basically start at Volkswagen for the obvious, mitsubishi is a story too, hell even Ford but that has some anachronisms we have to kind of ignore.
At least denazification worked on Henry Ford. Someone showed him footage of the death camps and being confronted with the reality of it gave him a stroke that almost killed him, and which contributed to the cerebral hemorrhage that did kill him.
I don’t give a crap how much I’ll get for it. I’m ruling out private sale because I don’t want to deal with nazis.
I’d rather crush it.
I do have a friend that does EV conversions on cargo vans. Could be useful for that.

“Donald. I will pay to make you President but you have to give me access to all admin information and buy a car from me.” E-Lawn.
What’s weird is that Presidents aren’t allowed to drive themselves. Secret service is no doubt impounding that new car until he’s no longer their problem.
He actually said this on camera, that he wouldn’t be driving it. But then, he said that he hadn’t driven in a “long time”…
I don’t think he has a driver’s license.
That’s code for he never learned to drive. Whatever polite bullshit you’re used to from other politicians isn’t happening here, so you can safely assume the exact opposite of what he’s saying.

He did have a drivers license and was shown driving in 2014 on a video that his wife posted. The license expired in 2020. He probably didn’t renew it, since ex-presidents are also not allowed to drive, so he hasn’t been allowed to drive since 2016.
They can, just not on public roads.
Biden drove an electric Ford truck on a closed lot.
Obama drove Jerry Seinfeld’s car on the White House grounds.
