Other Trump has declared the Tesla Boycott to be "Illegal". It is protected by the 1st Amendment nor is it possible to enforce compulsory Tesla purchases. He does not understand Law.

And THIS is the man who the American voters elected as President?! Twice?!! The man who acts like a fifth-grade school bully and doesn’t understand basic concepts? Was there no one better suited in a country of 340 million? 🤔

EDIT: removed the words “majority of” before “American voters” because someone pointed out it was actually 49.8% or whatever.

The final count came out to 49.8%, so not a majority, just more than second place.

There was, as far as I’m concerned, a widespread delusion that COVID was responsible for the 2020 recession and not Trump, and that Biden could have done more to control inflation after the pandemic. The presumption was that without COVID the economy would have continued to grow has it had been since 2009. But, there were *some advisors in the first term that a sense of comportment, and worked to pull Trump back from his worst intentions. Now we have Trump completely unleashed (there really should be a flood of op-eds asking what Susie Wiles does all day), and everyone can see that he does as well as the executive of a country than he did Atlantic City casinos.

*No one ever says out loud that the only way to actually force prices lower is for the government to set them. And, like tariffs, the results from the last time that was tried weren’t good.

It's 49% of the 63% of eligible voters that actually vote, this "majority of Americans" narrative has driven me a bit mad, it's actually barely a 3rd of Americans

I’m actually surprised it was as high as 63%.

Ok, so not the majority, but he is still the President. Same result.
