In a pair of Truth Social posts Monday evening, Trump took aim at the electric vehicle industry and President Biden’s push for more electric vehicles. With this opposition to electric vehicles, Trump is likely trying to persuade Michigan voters to support him over Biden, who carried the swing state in 2020.
The Biden administration has pushed to boost electric car sales, with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) predicting that two-thirds of new car sales could be electric by 2032 under a new proposal released by the administration earlier this year. Last week, the Energy Department announced plans to invest $12 billion into converting auto manufacturing facilities into plants for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Trump also took aim at Shawn Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers, for supporting the Biden administration’s latest investment into electric vehicles.
Literally. He really should be mad at climate change for fueling the need for EVs.
But then that’s admitting that climate change exists, and then it’s a slippery slope to saying he was trying to start an insurrection and coup, and that’s a big no-no for Dolan Trumpet.
There’s a reason he wanted to buy Greenland, and it wasn’t for the ice.
Gas would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for that pesky pollution.
