Trump, famously anti-electric cars, has 'bought' a Tesla, then. All because people said nasty things to his friend Elon.

Vive le football... LIBRE!
As I mentioned at length in this thread last month -- when I also expressed my fear of annexation and was pooh-poohed for it by some here -- the auto industry in North America is completely intertwined. Hurt any one of us, and the other 2 will suffer as well.

They might be getting their massive tax cuts, but not without some costs:You couldn’t make it up … if only a load of expert economists had predicted Trump’s tariff and trade wars would harm almost everyone. As Wall Street markets plunge, fiscally Yanks earning under $360k a year will be hurt by his tax increases. There’ll be 10m’s of MAGA in that bracket.

Even the Telegraph comments section, usually pretty right wing in recent years, are destroying Trump and his second term. Stuff like “imagine putting a serial bankrupt in charge of the economy”.
Very good tax graphic thanksYou couldn’t make it up … if only a load of expert economists had predicted Trump’s tariff and trade wars would harm almost everyone.

Very good tax graphic thanks
Here’s another from his first presidency, no surprise, his tax cuts overwhelmingly favoured the already rich.
Hmmm... did you read that the majority of the officers that Musk culled from their IRS actually specialized in investigating the tax affairs of very high earners and large companies

Yep - I've forgotten my source of course, but I thought it was reputable.
Hopefully moved to the afterlife.
Another bit of financial genius from the serial bankrupter
More comedy:
Trump made a show of support for Elon Musk’s Tesla by purchasing a vehicle from the billionaire’s electric car company.
”Elon Musk is ‘putting it on the line’ in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!
“But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s ‘baby,’ in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for.”

The radical left, banging on about choice for the private sector consumer and breaking up monopolies as per usual…

These days, if you boycott products from a company owned by a nazi-saluting, politically inept insufferable bellend, you get arrested, thrown in jail and possibly deported back to an insane asylum.

But it's a super car, not many people would buy it as a general 'run around' as you would for a Fiesta.
This is kind of Liz's 'pork markets', I don't suppose there are many people in the UK who are happy to see imports of US food. We have US imported 'Brands' such as McDonalds but if you look at the ingredients of a Big Mac in the UK & compare it to the US, the UK version looks kind of, 'healthy' in comparison. I'm one of those people that would prefer to have 'actual' sugar in a drink rather than chemically produced Aspartame. Its actually quite difficult to find them. I struck gold last year when I found a cherryade that just has cherries and sparkling water. I will try to look at the article, I've skimmed it but it needs more than a skim.
So there's a possibility he has you by the short & curlies? My only knowledge of anything to do with Canada is from you & a couple of others on here. Can you link me to your post please? I had hopes that it would be easy for you just to tell him to f**k off & that he needs you, more than you need him. Which is actually true, as he wouldn't be interested if you didn't have something of value to him.

Silly old bat
Trump has flip flopped over the tariffs again. Canada stands up to the bully.
