"While the Democrats are gathering in Chicago, Donald Trump is trying to make sure their convention doesn't grab all the headlines. In an interview with Reuters after a speech on Monday, he said he would consider tapping Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X and Tesla who endorsed him, for a cabinet or advisory role. Trump, who has mocked electric vehicles but softened his criticism as he courted Musk’s support, also said he would consider ending a federal tax credit for purchases of electric vehicles"

Mr. Trump criticized electric vehicles as he tried to woo autoworkers. Electric cars will kill the auto industry.

Sep 28, 2023 -- "At a Detroit rally Wednesday, Trump criticized electric vehicles, claiming that the EV pivot would kill the U.S. auto industry. The move was seen as an attempt to woo blue-collar autoworkers. His remarks come one day after President Biden joined the striking auto workers on the picket line, a historic move for a sitting president."

We've seen Trump being bought by the Adelsons and others. Who said since 2015 - Trump is wealthy, so "He cannot be bought?" This month Mr. Flip Flop did his thing:

"During a recent campaign rally, Donald Trump expressed his admiration for Elon Musk, describing him as a brilliant man. This marked a notable shift for Trump, who has historically been critical of eco-friendly technology. As president, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate accords and has since promised to eliminate a non-existent electric vehicle mandate in his re-election campaign. However, Trump’s stance on the EV revolution appears to be evolving. In his speech, he paused his usual criticism of electric vehicles to praise some of the battery-powered cars being produced in America. Trump even hinted at a newfound appreciation for EVs. This change in attitude comes shortly after Tesla CEO Elon Musk endorsed Trump and contributed millions of dollars to his campaign.Trump’s commendation of Musk underscores the growing influence of the EV industry and signals a potential pivot in his approach to eco-friendly technology. Former President Donald Trump used his nomination speech to take aim at President Joe Biden’s electric vehicle policies, vowing to action against them on his first day in office. "

Trump is not against Evs, he's against the government forcing people to switch to Evs.

He's against government picking and choosing the winners and losers.

He speaks out of both sides of his mouth.

He was anti-EV before he was for EV

too funny
 
So now he endorses EV's and that means he endorses climate change science too doesn't he?

Trump has realized that he can't stay on message for his base, and gain the Independents and undecided too.

Is that the reason why this board has turned so defeatist on Trump's chances?

People like our 'Ding' must be turning into Christians over this 180 on AGW by Trump!

Really.

Trump always felt that EV cars should be available to whoever wants one, not have other cars mandated out of existence.
 
Kamala still has more billionaires donating to her campaign and liberals here brag about it.

Are you folks stupid enough to believe they aren't trying to buy influence?

Gimme a fucking break.

The MIC is drooling over Kamalas promises to keep funding wars.
