I just have one, question, is this worse than the Goya spot or not?

The idea that a Trump commercial is going to woo recoiling liberals and moderates back to the brand is really an amazing decision to make. One on par with Elon's general marketing capability.

Yeah, I can't think of anything that would be a worse advertisement for the brand.

I thought he, and other MAGAts hate electric cars. I don't think this will help sales at all.

So apparently now vandalizing a Tesla dealership is an act of domestic terrorism.


This does raise an interesting question though - what if they open a Tesla dealership within the Capitol? Is the idea that if you storm the Capitol and vandalize that it's fine so long as you leave the Tesla dealership alone?

There would already be congressional investigations of this if this was a Democratic WH.

Imagine if Biden invited Ben and Jerry's to advertise on the White House lawn. Ben and Jerry's CEO prepares him a note sheet with information about all the different flavors and which supermarkets carry them. The press captures Biden sampling flavor after flavor, with close up shots of him licking the ice cream off the sample sticks. Eventually he tries one last sample. It's Ben and Jerry's Lights, Caramel, Action - a non-dairy, non-GMO, fair trade ice cream where a portion of your purchase goes to support social justice for black and brown people. "This is the best one I've tried," he says with a wink. "I'm going to buy some for the White House kitchen." Jesse Waters and FOX News have a complete meltdown and air the footage 24/7 for a week straight. House Republicans file article of impeachment. Conservatives are outraged.
