    Well, he also said Mexico would pay for his border wall, so I’d take it with a grain of salt.

      Yeah, but abortion, Muslim bans, coup attempts.

      Sometimes he pulls this crap off, sometimes he doesn’t. But he’s probably going to try to significantly hurt EV sales.

        I completely agree, afterall, he is the bullhorn for the ignorant and angry masses.

        This doesn’t make sense in light of a recent article claiming he’s eyeing Musk in an advisory role should be be reelected.

      He did try to get them to pay for it. He literally begged the Mexican president. “You gotta help me out here.” They recorded the phone call and released the tape, laughing at his pathetic groveling.

        “The Art of the Deal”

        He has 'em right where he wants them. Any minute now they’ll fold!

      Bruh he said about a billion things that he very obviously just made up on the spot with no intention of ever fulfilling. And why would he? No one holds him to it. It’s astonishing that a pathological (and very bad) liar is able to be President.

    Trump is a rapist and a traitor who deserves to die in jail.

    However, this article is awful. When he said “You won’t be able to sell those cars” he was referring to imports, not EVs.

    Let me tell you something, to China, if you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal — those big, monster car-manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now, and you think you’re going to get that, you’re going to not hire Americans, and you’re going to sell the cars to us?

    No, we’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected.

    All the major car companies can weather the storm of this ban until it gets overturned. So I’m lowkey down for the chaos of Musk getting his face eaten by his favorite face eating leopard for a few months
