"While Trump cuts programs you need to live, he's turning the White House into a car dealership to advertise his unelected shadow president's failing company," said one critic.

Isn't this illegal, Impeach him again.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh this time they get him /s

[–] girthero@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I agree it may be futile, but whatever it takes to obstruct the damage he can do is helpful

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Who's going to lead that effort? The Democrats?! Haha... Hahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[–] Generic_Idiot@lemm.ee 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Damn US is an actual embarrassment right now, whichever way you lean around the world, conservative or liberal.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

"Right now"..? Haven't been paying attention since 2015? Or 2001? Or 1980..?!

[–] Generic_Idiot@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

Fair but those years wasn’t anymore than other countries…. Now it’s a standout.

[–] 108@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

How far the WH has fallen. Oval Office as a prop for fucking GoYa beans before.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

Not the first time tin cans are being promoted by the white house. Looks like it's getting to be a regular event.

[–] 1ns1p1d@lemm.ee 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Trump will do absolutely anything to stay in the news. We are his narcissistic supply. The solution is to ignore him completely.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Sadly, while we should ignore him completely, he is too dangerous to do so now that he is puppet in chief. Maybe ignore this stunt, yes. But we still need to keep an eye on him so we know how and where to push back on.

[–] TheDeadlySquid@lemm.ee 12 points 6 days ago

Why does this photo make me laugh so hard? Oh yeah, it’s pathetic.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 6 days ago

How much did he charge us for this?

[–] theonlyk@linux.community 11 points 6 days ago

Starting to thing Tesla is this governments Brawndo, as we are watching the plot from Idiocracy play out.

[–] mister_flibble@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago

I see he still has his tactical toddler deployed

[–] nodiratime@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Sleazy Car Salesmen

[–] segabased@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

Never apologized for any of the myriad of things he's done to piss off the world, must not like money that much

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Here's hoping these out-of-touch losers somehow Streisand Effect themselves out of existence

Going to be a problem if they tell bears...

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

You say problem, I say solution.

Or at least entertainment.

Orcas against yachts, raccoons against cybertrucks!

Blatant conflict of interest and corruption. Such a disgrace.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 6 days ago

It's not though.

Elon even said if there was a conflict of interest, he'd decide whether to step back or not. Since he's there and involved, it's pretty obvious there's no conflict! Logic.

[–] clutchtwopointzero@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Those rules apply to everyone else, EXCEPT the president and congressmen

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago
[–] Joeffect@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Like really, you have this guy who is pushing fossil fuels and fracking and has an agenda against cleaner energy options... but then goes and supports this dudes company... like if trump had morals he would be breaking all of them... but clearly he doesn't and I'm sure if you followed the money it would all make sense.

[–] betternotbigger@lemmy.world 86 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is sooooo good. This is how you know it's working. This is how you vote with your dollar. Keep up the anti-consumption. Boycott the fuck out of these assholes. Life is more interesting not giving them a single cent.

[–] USSEthernet@startrek.website 3 points 6 days ago

Buuut boycotting is illegal.... /s

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 76 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

If a bunch of conservatives buy Teslas to own the libs and end up accelerating the decline of ICE vehicles that would be pretty funny.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 13 points 6 days ago

Taking a loan to buy a tesla to then hide in the garage to own the libs.

[–] hansolo@lemm.ee 13 points 6 days ago

They do absolutely love an opportunity to be scammed of they think it's part of a culture war stand.

Maybe all the money they'll make on their Trump coin can pay for....oh, wait...

My dad proudly declared that even maga hates Teslas, and this won't help at all. His sister called about two hours later and said she thinks she'd like to buy a Tesla...

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It would definitely make this liberal cry from laughter.

Corruption on full display. Aren't you tired, too?

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 45 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I am even more inspired to boycott!

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Would be a shame if stuff like this happened in front of the h0use in mlnecraft.

That would be very iIIegal and wrong. Don't do stuff like that!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago

"I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part."
