Trump Hosts Tesla Infomercial, Sparks Outrage

President Donald Trump drew criticism after he performed a live-action Tesla advertisement on the White House lawn, aiming to bolster support for Elon Musk amid declining Tesla sales. While Trump praised the vehicles, calling them 'beautiful' and hailing Musk as a 'patriot,' Democrats condemned the event as inappropriate, accusing Trump of using the presidency to promote a commercial product during economic hardship. DNC Chair Ken Martin and Senator Elizabeth Warren highlighted the disconnect between the president's actions and the financial struggles faced by ordinary Americans, criticizing the event as a car dealership spectacle. Meanwhile, Tesla's stock has struggled, with a significant drop attributed to protests against the company and market uncertainties, exacerbated by Trump's controversial policies. Despite the backlash, Trump defended his actions, stating he aimed to support American jobs and businesses. The event has sparked a broader conversation about the intertwining of politics and consumerism in today's America.
