Trump is now claiming that the boycott of Tesla vehicles is illegal. Exactly what would someone be charged with if they decided to not purchase a Tesla but rather bought a Nissan Leaf or a Honda Prelude instead? What would the penalty be?

It would have to be treason, right?

I also understand that support for Ukraine is treason.

So he should pardon them? Maybe appoint them to his cabinet?

Except for a golf cart, when was the last time that Trump ever drove a vehicle anywhere?

Hey Felon Musk! This is for you!

Buying an electic car is foolish. Even my golf cart is gas. I don't need a generator or big battery to run it. A quart of gasoline will run it for a week.

Trump says he's going to write a check for his new Tesla: "I do it the old-fashioned -- I give checks. I like checks. I like a check better than this better system of, all of the sudden there's money in your account. Nobody knows.

"I think his credit is good," Elon Musk adds.

I wouldn't cash a check from Trump even if it was only for one penny. I couldn't trust it not to bounce.

A President reduced to car salesman is historically degrading.

But there's something else very revealing in all this: amidst growing protests & collapsing sales, Musk is panicked.

There goes your big break. Trumpy will never even toss you any scraps now.

Your weakass attempt at trolling the libs today sure didn't age well.

#20 | Posted by donnerboy at 2025-03-11 05:33 PM

Remember back in 2008 when Republicans were screaming about electric cars being doomed and catching on fire and being a waste of money and all that.

Who knew in 2025 Trump would make it illegal not to own a Tesla.

""I think his credit is good," Elon Musk adds."

Interesting considering that the reason he sold out to Putin during the Moscow Miss Universe Pageant in

"Vladimir Putin's Investment in Donald Trump Pays Off Bigly"

www.motherjones.com

"You don't have to take my word for it. Just ask Marco Rubio, who's now Trump's secretary of state. As I've pointed out before in this newsletter, in August 2020, Rubio, then the GOP chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, released a bipartisan 966-page report on the Trump-Russia scandal. It's the most comprehensive public account of Putin's attack on the 2016 election. It concludes that Putin "ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president" and that he did so "to help the Trump Campaign ... and undermine the US democratic process."

That car comes with pre-installed full diaper smell.

Can you imagine how fast the GCCP would be having hearings for this obvious violation of federal rules if Biden did it?

#25 | Posted by Nixon at 2025-03-12 08:12 AM

Should have mentioned, the reason Trump needed to borrow from Putin was because his credit was so bad no American bank would loan him money. Putin's investment way back then is sure paying off well today! Owning the President of the United States is definitely a big avantage for him in any negotiations with the U.S., not to mention the "pee tapes that he has!

#26 | Posted by danni at 2025-03-12 08:29 AM

An obvious violation of the Hatch Act.

Grifting on the White House lawn seems to prove that.

Of course, the vast majority of Dems would see that as an obvious con and wouldn't fall for it. As noted by the lack of Biden Bucks/Obama Moolah crypto.

I'm sure the big three companies that donated millions to his inauguration are as thrilled with their decision as American Muslims, Venezuelans and veterans are.

Fat Smellvis doesn't know how electronic banking works and implies that it's shady? Yet he wants to be the Crypto President? Does he know that Crypto is the payment choice of the scum of the earth, including drug dealers, human traffickers, and terrorists, all groups with which he is intimately familiar and would happily invite to his residence for dinner.

#31 | Posted by _Gunslinger_ at 2025-03-12 11:06 PM

He should pay Elong with his most recent value free Crypto token, or maybe some of those fantasy Dotard NFTs.

#32 | Posted by _Gunslinger_ at 2025-03-12 11:08 PM

Trump calls everything he doesn't like illegal yet breaks the law with impunity.

#33 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-03-12 11:10 PM

Boycotting of course is not illegal.

What is illegal is attacking Tesla dealerships and attempting to damage and destroy their vehicles which has happened several times recently by crazy radical leftists.

"Tesla facilities face wave of attacks as Elon Musk delves into politics
In one case, a 40-year-old woman is accused of vandalizing a Tesla dealership in Colorado in five separate incidents in recent weeks."

"There have been at least a dozen of vandalism against Tesla vehicles, dealerships or charging stations in recent weeks, according to police and local reports, underscoring the backlash Musk has faced since taking on an unprecedented role in the federal government."

Gee, where are the usual suspects who'd be screaming BRIBERY! CORRUPTION!! if there were a (D) after the name?

If Obama or Biden were doing this, their heads would explode. Meanwhile this is different...
