holy shit -- Trump was reading from a literal Tesla sales pitch, complete with pricing, during his White House event with Elon Musk. (Andrew Harnik/Getty)

Using the bullypulpit to drive stocks back up for your buddy's company after they've been tanking is nasty work. Especially for a billionaire. Sickening!
That's how a Democracy works!
Portuguese Prime Minister centre-right government, lost a Vote of Confidence amid a conflict of interest scandal, because he had a Company with clients who could benefit from his decisions as Prime Minister.
Would this happen in today's USA?
The only way to beat a bully is to punch back and not be afraid. If you don't, the bully continues his reprehensible behavior and most likely it gets worse.
Punch back godammit! Everyone is waiting. After one punch back, everyone else will join in.
Once he has had time to practice 😂😂, it’s why he couldn’t read the UK state visit invitation. And Why he starred at it and gave it back to Stammer to read it for him😂😂
We have long had a problem with holding the rich and powerful to the same rules as everyone else. Trump is the symptom of a disease that now may consume us.
C'mon down to the White House Cavalcade of Cars! We have every Tesla, look at our amazing selection! Any size, any color, free GOP congress critter with every purchase!
Ivana was a hand model for Goya during the 45. This is disappointing but not surprising that he would be paid $100 million to hawk the deplorean for his groupie/handler.
I wonder how many times they had to read it to him so he understood what he was saying. Grifting piece of shit. As usual, he's not working. I wonder if all those Maga morons that voted for him have employees like him, who don't do their job, just fuck around and get a great paycheck?
Trump voters as employees are the ones who on the weekends:
1) Use unleaded gasoline as fuel for tiki torches because they ran out of tiki oil. Hence on Monday they show up to work with burn gauze.
2) Get shit drunk with their buddy and contest one another as to how much detergent they can drink.
Their beloved eggs are doubled in price and everything else is going up, they're losing benefits left and right, being shit on daily, but theyre cool with him spending his limited working hours doing Tesla commercials instead so the planet's most wealthy individual doesn't lose sales.
If we are to go through 4 years of this bullc**p, I think the least we can get from Bluesky is a LOL reaction button. This heart just doesn’t feel appropriate
A chinese made car fully promoted on the White House lawn while the distilleries in Tennessee and Kentucky are beyond struggling because of dtrumpf’s tariff games…
Yeah… And you believe it’s all about America First..
Great White House infomercial. Trump pretends to purchase a “Tesler” (Trump’s words) and Musk gives Trump $100 million more to Trump’s “political organization”. Hmmm.
Trump uses teleprompters or simple notes always written in sharpie. I am guessing sharpie is because it’s easier to see- I’m guessing his eyes are bad but he’s too vain to wear glasses. Of course, I didn’t even think he could read, based on the dumbed down reports he always asks for.
I thought we Brits killed off satire by literally LIVING it with the antics of Johnson and Truss, but now we've (thankfully) got a dull grown-up back in charge the baton has clearly been handed to Team USA.
Hey, anyone remember when Berlusconi was the big joke on the world stage? Happy days...
Wow he selling that car. Who can afford that car. The repair cost sky high. The price of the battery, finding a toll truck that can give you a jump, etc. working people can’t effort that car.
Glad Trump made such a huge balloted spectacle of the Tesla brand so more can show their “I’m not buyin for a good reason” stuff. Swear off these guys (debrand them) like swearing off an addiction. Hard but you can do it because we still have choices.
Or they got insider information and cashed out before the crash. Chances are the overlords did that. Like knowing October 23rd, 1929 what will happen tomorrow.
Not a recession buy. Give me a break. There are going to be so many used ones on the market in the next few weeks. They made them worthless. Maslow's hierarchy time. Basic needs before one can go up the pyramid. I think that the Tesla car would not even be an option on it.
While this is funny, should lead to many fun memes, and hopefully will be used to mock Trump mercilessly (SNL will, for sure), this is really the lowest on the list of grievances.
Using talking points/prompter/prepared remarks/etc is just fine.
Evan if someone wanted to buy Elons swastikar. The money people used to use for extras is gone. Given to the 1%. As the rest of us get taxed more we lost that money we would get back from the IRS to pay for things like a vacations to Florida or pay off that Xmas debt, put a money on a car. Repairs.
I suppose they are slowly learning that they think they are in the most powerful position in the country but the people have all the power - us citizens have to remember that
so, he basically embarrassed himself. Actually, he should of notice immediately that he was reading a sales pitch, dementia makes you less aware of situations.
He has never been anything more than a huckster used care salesman barking the grift.
Now he's turned the white house into a used car parking lot - such an abomination.
Such a grifter.
Such a charlatan.
Such a low-life loser !!!
That means the Russian Assets are desperate! They are nothing without American $$$$ & our Allies $$$$$. Please do Amazon next! I broke-up with Amazon & Whole Foods months ago. Costco is a way better deal and Farmer’s markets are more fun. Still enjoy TJ’s and our local Italian market.
Not the first time Trump needed crib notes, here he is meeting with families and survivors of school shootings in 2018. Donald Trump is a turd, always has been
He did that in his first term.
Seems a lot of people have amnesia about things he did in his first term that he’s doing now.
I see people claiming he’s “disappearing” people.
Did y’all forget about when they were snatching people off the steets of Portland & detaining them for days without cause?
Hmm, I think the paper we can’t see underneath his used-car sales pitch is “Mrs Donald Putin” with a heart over the “i” or “Leon & Donnie 4ever!” . He has the intellect of a pre-pubescent 4th grader and the handwriting to match. What a mf’ing embarrassment this POG is!
"For sale, one lightly used democracy, several previous owners, full service history, except for the last few weeks which has only a self-service history. Any inspection welcomed, except by the IRS."
Yeah. I suppose that only makes sense. They did every thing they could to bring it about. We have a mixed economy they're trying to turn into a hypercapitalist one. Just, a problem.. the billionaires already showed that they hoard wealth and let people suffer, purposefully. It can't work long.
The broligarchs wreck the economy and buy up everything for pennies on the dollar in the fire sale that follows. They end up owning EVERYTHING and the population are reduced to powerless surfdom under a dictatorship of billionaires.
That's the entire plan - turning the USA into russia.
Afterward Trump added "Appeared in a live Tesla commercial in front to the White House" to his draft of his email about the five things he did this week.
It’s an OK car. The handling and suspension is terrible and it has the turning radius is only marginally better that a Ford F250. The interior finish is cheap and customer service in non-existent
I’m stuck with it for now as it’s resale value has tanked

Go ahead, Don. Buy one.
Let's see you drive off in it.
Right off a cliff.

Sorry people are going to suffer but we deserve everything we're getting for voting for a corrupt, immoral racist to lead our country
It's mass theft so he can build something, bailout Tesla and Gaza, you know the usual.
Then they pretend to create a positive for right wingers about EVs?
Then there's the telling discoloration ffotus tiny thumb?
This revealing, but not in a way fElon and ffotus intend it to be...
But want to divert your attention...

Yeah… And you believe it’s all about America First..
Nope, it’s dtrumpf first
It’s pay for play and nothing else…
Drumpf can’t even drive 🙃😂🤣
ALL POLITICIANS USE A TELEPROMPTER.
Going for the big time now.

He'd opt for a golf cart.
Using talking points/prompter/prepared remarks/etc is just fine.
How about rustproofing and undercoating? Is that included?
It's hucksterism pure and simple
The protests are having an effect, and Musk is feeling the heat
Keep it up!
More protests, and larger protests

Aaron, I would be surprised if he wasnt reading from something like that
No denying we live in an oligarchic society now.
Pillows, month three?
Would also make a good waterbed salesman.
That's the entire plan - turning the USA into russia.
When someone is a big pile of shit, endorsing another big pile of shit’s products. It doesn’t really help overall sales too much.
It’s an OK car. The handling and suspension is terrible and it has the turning radius is only marginally better that a Ford F250. The interior finish is cheap and customer service in non-existent

He's a snake-oil salesman. Don the Con.
The Trump Slump is coming!
