Trump vows to end 'madness' of EV push

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Trump is vowing to end the “madness” of the Biden administration’s push for electric vehicles — a likely appeal to voters in the swing state of Michigan.

In a pair of Truth Social posts Monday evening, Trump took aim at the electric vehicle industry and President Biden’s push for more electric vehicles. With this opposition to electric vehicles, Trump is likely trying to persuade Michigan voters to support him over Biden, who carried the swing state in 2020.

“The Great State of Michigan will not have an auto industry anymore if Crooked Joe Biden’s crazed concept of ‘all Electric Cars’ goes into effect,” he wrote in the Truth Social post. “CHINA WILL TAKE IT ALL, 100%. United Auto Workers, VOTE FOR TRUMP. Get your leaders to ENDORSE ME, I WILL KEEP ALL OF THESE GREAT JOBS, AND BRING IN MANY MORE. CHOICE IN SCHOOLS, AND CHOICE IN CARS!!!”

In 2021, Michigan was home to more than 175,000 auto manufacturing jobs, according to a report from nonprofit research center Mackinac Center for Public Policy. While that number is still higher than any other state, the report noted it’s also just 37 percent of the jobs Michigan had at its peak.

Where do you think the EVs are going to be made dipshit?

[Thunderbeast]

1. ...AND I will fund research into coal powered pickup trucks!

[EYESORE 9001]

2. They'll use clean coal technology

3. Beautiful clean coal

[Permanut]

4. Trump will protect all those jobs..

You can count on him after that wonderful job he did bringing jobs to Wisconsin with the Foxconn plant

5. It's more of a pull than a push

There's a $7,500 federal EV tax credit, big deal. EV's are selling because consumers want them, subsidized or not. How does a POTUS end that exactly?

9. the discounts you have to qualify for

but $7,500 is a nice chunk of change

[Shermann]

12. Sure, but even after that, the popular Model X is well above the average new vehicle price

The Model S doesn't qualify at all, yet is still selling.

6. Hmmm, if only there were a way to see Trump's record?

7. Um. The Big 3 are all making electric vehicles.

[Initech]

15. Yeah Biden literally test drove the F150 Lightning.

Which is manufactured in Kentucky at a UAW licensed plant. Facts!

[WA-03 Democrat]

8. EVs will not be made in China

I have been to China 3 times in the last 3 months. While I spent COVID-19 working on my guitar skills and others found their inter-baker- China has built the best EVs on the planet bar none. They are not mechanical jokes like Tesla but they do update the car's software on a daily basis. The panels are in alignment and the hinges work great. The cars are about 1/3 of the cost in the US. There is no car waiting listing and the ICE cars are deeply discounted. 30% of cars on the road in Shanghai are EVs right now. They have some that are so high end we have nothing to compare it to. No way, no how they are going to come to the US with China sending daily software updates. Cars could be weaponized with software and we should not trust Musk.

10. It's just a matter of time before he says he wants to bring back leaded gasoline.

He's already stating that he wants to rescind the orders banning lead ammunition on our federal lands. Can't have too much lead poisoning on top of everything else. Got to make his cult more stupid and violent than they already are, I guess.

[Initech]

14. The MAGA dolts would claim that leaded gasoline is a socialist plot.

[PJMcK]

11. Trump lies

Fools believe him.

[Initech]

13. The only news I want to hear about Trump is that he's rotting in prison.

I couldn't give less of a shit about what he would do if reelected.

16. Even stodgy auto executives can see the writing on the wall.

It makes far more business sense than the ketchup on the wall. Logic beats magical thinking when it comes to business.

Magical thinking is not a good guide star.



Say, wasn't it just the anniversary of the Edsel?

The Edsel was introduced to an awaiting — and over-hyped — public on Sept. 4, 1957.

[keep_left]

17. WTF do school vouchers have to do with EVs?!

CHOICE IN SCHOOLS, AND CHOICE IN CARS!!!

I guess Trump just strings together whatever thought terminating clichés he hears from his handlers that day, and then posts them on Truth Social.

18. Probably more like a plea for Big Fossil Fuel financial help

'Saud family... if you're listening....'
