Trump Stages Tesla Car Show at White House After Berating Americans for Boycotting Musk.
Trump Stages Tesla Car Show at White House After Berating Americans for Boycotting Musk.
Tesla's stock is plummeting as Trump supports Musk's controversial actions. The president parades Tesla cars at the White House, while protests erupt over Musk's government role.
"While Trump cuts programs you need to live, he's turning the White House into a car dealership to advertise his unelected shadow president's failing company," said one critic.

It's worth watching the video...
After he gets in you can still kind of hear what they're saying.
trump has to ask what the two pedals do...
Elmo asked him if he wanted to drive, and Trump had to ask a handler if they wanted him to drive and they said he could. Elmo tried to reassure him that it was "just like a golf cart" but trump panicked and got out pretty quickly.
He was desperate for someone to tell him not to, but everyone was fine with it.
Then he made some quip about Biden not even being able to get in it, and us much as I dislike Biden, at least a couple of years ago he was still capable of driving:

It's probably been 50 years since trump drove anything besides a golf cart.

Biden famously still has his 1967 Corvette which he received from his father as a wedding gift. It is immaculate.
Biden may not be a gearhead but he is a proud owner/driver of one hell of a car. He kept it perfect.
edit: looking at the picture again, is that paint damage on the running board? I wonder if it had sidepipes at one point. I'm sure if it is damage and not a reflection it's been repaired by now, he loves that car.

Holy fucking shit that Corvette is beautiful.
-
In two years time from then, the Corvette Stingray comes out and further enhances the absolute gorgeousness that is that car.

Sexiest bootstraps I've ever seen.

Part of the agreement presidents sign when they consent to USSS protection is that they are no longer allowed to drive themselves except in pre-approved, controlled situations. Thus, it's even more concerning he had to ask for permission, since this should have been cleared in the planning stages, long before he got to touch the car, and he should have known that already. Just more evidence that the trump team don't really know what they're doing.
-
In all likelihood it was cleared for him to drive and he knew he was supposed to drive.
He just chickened out when it came time to do it.
Seriously, watch the video if you haven't, it's easy to tell.

Please God, let the secret service just let him run to the store himself when he needs milk and cookies...

What's that old book? "If you give a
mousepresident a cookie?"

I can actually respect trump for thism At least he has the self awareness to realize he's too dumb/incapable to drive
My parents are old AF, hard of hearing, bad eyesight, and confidently driving every day. I keep telling them to stop driving

The fucking ad was longer than the video...
