I don’t like Trump either. But as others here have said he didn’t say this. That’s a quote from the article the quote from him says “You won’t be able to sell those cars” not “I’ll ban all electric car sales”
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.
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.
Why are people downvoting this? Trump is a literal poison, but misinformation is misinformation. The author changed the meaning:
“You won’t be able to sell those cars, because they won’t have EV incentives” NOT “because I’ll ban them.”

What’s the difference?
The order of the words

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.

China makes cheap electric vehicles. Why can’t American shoppers buy them?
Its almost as though the import price of the vehicle is a consequence of US trade policy.

He explicitly called for a ban of EV imports from Mexico. What’s more outright than that?

Tribalism is a hell of a drug.
Trump: “Won’t someone rid me of these meddlesome electric vehicles?!”
Media: “Trump calls for elimination of electric vehicles.”
Terminally Online Guy: “Um, aktuly, its ephebophilia”.
“You won’t be able to have an abortion, I never said I’d ban it, though!”
