    One implies he will personally forbid them from selling.

    The other implies no one will want to buy them because they’ll be too expensive by their nature.

        I was not saying he is correct, saying that was his likely meaning in this context. He’s not exactly got a great track record of being smart or correct. Just in this case he didn’t seem to mean a ban outright.

      4 years of Trump as president, and people are still trying to see nuance in what he says? Were you asleep from 2017-2020? We know enough about how he talks to know what he means. He’s absolutely talking about blocking EV sales.

        It’s unreal. I’m convinced people are just collectively too stupid to ever fully escape this constant pull towards fascism.

        We should maybe start getting used to the idea that we had a nice century or so of relative freedom and prosperity, and we’re lucky to have been alive during it.

          He is still a dangerous cheat, corrupted, megalomaniac, and kind of stupid and easily manipulated. It’s just that he probably didn’t mean a ban in this case.

          Just because he is dangerous doesn’t mean we should also embrace misinformation against him. Plenty of legitimate information is damning enough, to embrace misinformation sites nothing but undermine the legitimate reasons to keep him the hell away from leadership.
