Trump Shills Musk's Tesla Cars Outside White House, Buys One
Source: HuffPost
President Donald Trump paraded Tesla electric vehicles outside the White House on Tuesday in support of “great patriot” Elon Musk.
The billionaire’s car company has seen its share price slump in recent days on the back of fears over the Trump administration’s handling of the economy. Tesla sales are also tanking as would-be buyers balk at Musk’s haphazard slash-and-burn approach to the federal government via his so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
Tesla is doing no better internationally. Its sales in Germany were down 76% in February compared to a year earlier, potentially as a result of Musk appearing to give a Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration.

In an ethically questionable move, Trump appeared to use the office of president — and the iconography of the White House — to give Musk a boost and make good on a promise to buy a Tesla, which retails for roughly $80,000.

Would you buy a car from this man?

thing. 
A photo from a White House event Tuesday captured President Donald Trump with a list of prices for Teslas that were parked on the south lawn of the White House.
Prior to the event, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social that he wanted to buy one of the company's electric vehicles as a show of support for Elon Musk. At a media event Tuesday afternoon, Trump saddled up to a red Model S.
"That's beautiful," he said, later adding that he would write a check for the car. The Model S retails for about $80,000.
Trump also said he would gift his 17-year-old granddaughter, Kai, a Cybertruck — another Tesla vehicle with a starting price of nearly $80,000.
Attached to a copy of Trump's speech was a handwritten note that included prices for the cars, which read like a sales pitch.
A photographer captured an image of the note, which read in part, "Teslas can be purchased as low as $299/month or $35K."

where the leader used the Country's capital or their home to sell a product other than their use of the office. He's such a scumbag. 
Hey Republican Congress, that sound you hear is your dignity being flushed 
because you are forever tied to him in the anals of history.
I know, it's on purpose.
Not that he would get in trouble from reQublicans over it. 
Not that TFG looked into it - or cares.
