That statement alone says he is a candidate to be bought. If Oscar Meyer gave him a billion dollars, I’m sure he would have no choice but to make sure hot dogs are served as the only protein in grocery stores.
“I have no choice but to change my policy in light of this new bribery”
It primarily reveals that Trump can simply be bought. He is nothing but a political whore. Weird, isn’t he?
Will he sell state secrets and tax benefits to the highest bidder if he gets back into the White House? Most likely.
You mean again? Would he sell state secrets again? Yes, he would.
It’s crazy cause the first time around everyone was talking about how Trump is rich so he can’t be bought like other politicians but looks like that has turned around pretty sharply.
Well, he used a lot of possibilities during his presidency to make money of it. Just think of the the tax-paid expensive hotel rooms in his hotels for the Secret Service people who had to protect him.
Honestly should stop calling them conservatives, just weirdoes / weirdism
He’s broadcasting to all businesses and billionaires that anyone who strongly supports him gets their back rubbed right back.
He’s not saying EVs are great, that we should support them because it’s good policy, the right move for America etc.
Its simply quid pro quo.
You guys just now figured out the conservative element has gone astray from it’s original meaning? Which part did it? The big coal rolling trucks? The absolute denial that there’s a problem with the environment? Ohhhhh, it was the orange moron giving Elon the hover-hand because even American-made EVs are yucky?
“partisan divide”?
If we were smart, we would let the cheap Chinese EVs flood the US market and drive down prices in the US using competition.
So much for the invisible hand of the market I guess. 🤷🏻♂️
In order to do that the US government would need to heavily subsidize EVs the way the Chinese government does.
I support this… in my view the Chinese government is putting its money out there in order to get more people into an EV. The US should match their efforts.
You mean the way we previously subsidized the regular auto industry and the supporting fossil fuel industries for… 70-90 years?
And corn, which has been horrible for health in the US. But I guess that doesn’t count.
Yep! Gotta have corn, come get your corn, high fructose time!
i’m not sure heavy subsidization would work the same way in the US. We’ve already seen EV manufacturers adjust their prices based on available tax credits, so i feel like they’d just raise prices even more as subsidies increase. in china the govt can ensure this doesn’t happen.
Why should US gov not be able to force prizes below a curtain threshold? They just have to vote in the gov, but they can. Not?
It’s not a matter of should or could, it’s just not something that’s going to happen. The vast majority of Americans don’t want the government directly meddling with business models to that degree.
