“He does good at rockets, too,” Trump exclaimed. Despite having completely conflicting beliefs and political stances, President Trump gives plenty of praise to Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk for his “genius” and progress. Some people are quick to say President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk are alike in many ways. Still, others...

Trump sounds like such an idiot, so even his so-called praise for Elon Musk is questionable. And the president has taken so many anti-climate actions, you have to wonder what the hell he is talking about. In a year, when a new president is inaugurated, he or she will have to start repairing all the damage he is trying to do to the environment.
He does good at rockets too? God save us from this idiot.
 
OK, we get that you hate Trump and have cherry-picked the most awkward of his comments, which are pretty much a stream of consciousness kind of thing and easy to criticize, but such "reporting" is simply dishonest and disingenuous. E.g., "...the president has made it abundantly clear he doesn’t believe in climate change...." Everyone "believes" in climate change--it's been happening for billions of years, which every educated person knows, including Trump. What many of us "deniers" don't believe in is anthropogenic global warming which has cleverly been changed to "climate change" after the true believers were caught fudging data, selective sourcing, and outright lying. But no one is fooled--'climate change' really means 'global warming,' but leaves the back door open...just in case!

But there's a lot of money to be made from global warming scare porn and the transfer of wealth to politically-connected favored industries. I wonder how many of your readers know that reporting in the popular press of scientific "consensus" regarding climate change has alternated several times over the last century from another ice age to catastrophic heat death. There are rumblings beneath the surface reporting already of another swing coming (with the predictable call to spend trillions to avoid the end of all life on earth). Will we then be scolded by ignorant sixteen-year-olds and forced by our betters to burn coal to stave off being buried in miles of ice?

Trump is no idiot, as the MSM tries to portray him at every opportunity. He has been and is a very successful businessman with tons of common sense and financial acuity. He thoroughly understands the corrupt political/legal system and has learned to play it and its Swamp Creatures like a Stradivarius. His companies employ thousands who put food on the table for their families. Those employees include women and minorities of every race and religion, not that we would ever learn that from the MSM and non-productive Trump-haters.

Donald Trump is a media-savvy political outsider who has created wealth without the help of, and with much opposition from, politically connected insiders (and outlaws), unlike the legions of Wall Street crooks and charlatans and the armies of bureaucratic parasites who create nothing, distort markets, destroy wealth, and simply feed on the middle class. His intellect soars miles above that of the morons in Congress who declared CO2 (a gas absolutely vital to life on earth) to be a pollutant! He donates his official salary to charity and has subjected himself to the incredible abuse he gets simply because he loves America and its people and just wants to make it great again.

And FYI, I love EVs, drive a Tesla MX, have another MX on order, have a Pacifica Hybrid which my wife drives, and I will never own another ICE vehicle. I have solar on my roof, am an enthusiastic proponent of environment-friendly tech, love clean air and water, and firmly believe the future is electric, so spare me the ignorant, deceptive rants on what an idiot Trump is. He's not, and I'm not, so I'm not buying it. Let's just get back to loving EVs...and each other.

Let's get honest. If you live in California all of your elected officials are sub-par. The smart ones line their own pockets, and the dumb ones do not understand what unintended consequences are.

Why single out the POTUS when the politicos that have a far greater effect on your lives have all deserted you?

Hype? Naw. One of our EV HOV stickers expired in 15 months. Who buys a new car that often? And who was the boob that didn't just make an EV Plate for HOV and other uses? We have more than a dozen specialty plates but no EV plate, we get anti-theft sticker plaster everywhere but the roof and undercarriage.
AND ... You only get two EV rebates per lifetime, and only if you are unsuccessful at work. They increased the gasoline tax to build toll roads which can cost over $1.10 a mile, and they just moved the TOU window so businesses pay the most as soon as the sun starts to go down. They buy the solar power cheap, and charge you double at 5 pm.

Our state has the most DC reps. Did they extend the EV credit for Tesla? Naw. Jaguar, Honda, Hyundai, BMW, MB, Honda, Toyota all get full credit, the two biggest EV makers in America do not. Dumb, very dumb.

Trump is no idiot, as the MSM tries to portray him at every opportunity. Have you seriously heard him speak? He is an inarticulate pathological liar. He has been and is a very successful businessman with tons of common sense and financial acuity. Really - prove it? Why is he so afraid to share his tax returns. Are you not the least bit curious? And if he is such a successful businessman then why would NO US bank loan him money? Would you even care if he was assisting Russia with money laundering through Deautsche Bank? He thoroughly understands the corrupt political/legal system and has learned to play it and its Swamp Creatures like a Stradivarius. His companies employ thousands who put food on the table for their families. Those employees include women and minorities of every race and religion, not that we would ever learn that from the MSM and non-productive Trump-haters. Seriously? How many times has he been sued? Trump University - shut down for fraud and $25 million dollar settlement. His "charity" closed down for abuse and fined.

Or he inherited it and would actually be worth more if he would have simply invested it in the stock market and did nothing. His intellect soars miles above that of the morons in Congress who declared CO2 (a gas absolutely vital to life on earth) to be a pollutant! The only people who believe his intellect soars miles above are those whose intellect is less then his - which I guess is an IQ @ 110 - tops. He donates his official salary to charity and has subjected himself to the incredible abuse he gets simply because he loves America and its people and just wants to make it great again. OMG he donates $400,000 while he rips off millions. How much has the US paid his businesses the last 3 years. Upon winning he doubled the entry fee for Mar a Lago. How many people stay at the Trump Hotel in DC giving him money? He spends a third of his time at "Trump" properties with a government entourage lining his pockets.

Glad to hear you love EV's. I have friends who would agree with you about Trump. It is an interesting study from a sociological standpoint. You don't need "deceptive" rants but may want to switch off Fox News - it is bad for your health.

You base your analysis of his business success on?

On the subject of climate change—the Keeling Curve—the data are irrefutable.
 
And yet, when Hillary Clinton spent more money, cheated at debates, had questionable/felonious DNC voter roles, up in the "polls" by 12%, the backing of Wall Street/Unions/PublicEmployees, America still chose an old man who had 4 bankruptcies and never held a single political office. Why? American's think Congress and most politicians are corrupt, and it's really hard to argue they are wrong.

How's that High Speed Rail doing? Oh I see. They meant turning Free Ways into Toll Roads.while our streets crumble under our feet. Highest spending per capita for roads, and perhaps the worst roads in the USA. New Mexico has us beat.

Truth? Donald Trump is the most effective politician in the world today, and he's not even a politician. How bad is that? Fix that first.
