You gotta remember that nothing is illegal if Trump does it.

Or at least Trump believes that should be true.

An exception will probably be made for Tesla since they are more high end (price wise not quality wise) and not the affordable ones like most coming from China. As that's what this is fearmongering China.

A reasonable person would push for more EV manufacturing to take place in the US, and for more affordable EVs as well. But Trump isn't reasonable. He wants his supporters to think China when they think EV and hate both of them.

And all moderates and purple voters who were saying dumb ass shit like "He's a maverick, he owns his own business so he can't be bought, he's not a career politician so he won't be corrupted" will achieve peak cognitive dissonance and see no problem with this.

If them believed that in 2016 I could forgive them. It was dumb but I could understand. Yet if someone still believes that today after all we have seen that man do, they are beyond foolish. They are dangerous.

That's what will kill Tesla in long term. Elon Musk forgets that Califorina is largest market for Teslas, larger then Florida/Texas combined. There mutiple viable alternative electric cars.

Then on the Replubcian end, He doesn't care that Replubcians will use their power to limit the growth of EV in the USA.

A literal comic book villain written to be as totally omni-shitty as Trump would almost certainly be rejected by editors on the grounds of being too one-dimensional.
