Chapter 2: What was the Tesla event outside the White House about?
So utterly pathetic, Donald Trump and Elon Musk outside the White House selling Teslas. Donald Trump was asked other questions as well, like, do you believe that your tariff policies bear any responsibility for the turmoil we're seeing in the economy? Trump goes, nope, it's all Biden's fault. Play this clip.
Mr. President, you mentioned the ups and downs in the stock market. You said it'll go up, it'll go down. But do you and your tariff policies right now bear any responsibility for the turmoil we're seeing this week?
Biden gave us a horrible economy. He gave us horrible inflation. And I think the market was going to go very, very bad. If anything, I have a lot of very smart people, friends of mine and great businessmen. They're now investing because of what I'm doing. Because long term, what I'm doing is making our country strong again, financially strong, militarily strong and strong. If we want to get away.
Remember this. We have wars. When I left, we had no wars. We didn't have Ukraine and Russia. We didn't have October 7th. We didn't have that disaster that took place with the withdrawal from Afghanistan. And you look at what's happened there.
Next, even Peter Doocy of Fox says, hey, Donald, you know, these optics are really bad. You're out here talking about buying Teslas while Americans are suffering. Do you see how that could be a bad look? Hint, hint. Here, watch this.
President Trump buying a new car while there are some folks who will see this flip at home and they are struggling with their retirement accounts down at the moment, uncertainty about work ahead.
Well, I think they're going to do great. I think we're our country had to do this. We had to go and do this. They've taken away other countries have taken away our business. They've taken away our jobs. I did it initially very strongly against, as you know, China and some others in the first term. And it was a very successful term. We had no inflation.
We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. And then we had COVID, which we had to straighten out.
So that even Ducey from Fox is like, what are you doing? Next up, Donald Trump talks about how the borders between the United States and Canada are artificial and the United States needs to immediately annex and conquer Canada. Play this clip.
