In a pair of Truth Social posts Monday evening, Trump took aim at the electric vehicle industry and President Biden’s push for more electric vehicles. With this opposition to electric vehicles, Trump is likely trying to persuade Michigan voters to support him over Biden, who carried the swing state in 2020.

The Biden administration has pushed to boost electric car sales, with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) predicting that two-thirds of new car sales could be electric by 2032 under a new proposal released by the administration earlier this year. Last week, the Energy Department announced plans to invest $12 billion into converting auto manufacturing facilities into plants for hybrid and electric vehicles.

Trump also took aim at Shawn Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers, for supporting the Biden administration’s latest investment into electric vehicles.

    If we nuke the sun, we don’t have to worry about solar power. It would also combat global warming, which is totally not real. And if we just ban the sale and possession of Lithium, we can get rid of those polluting electric cars. It’s not regulation, it’s for the children.

        It’ll be inconsequential. It’s like adding lit match stick to a dumpster fire.

        LEFT WING LIES! The sun will pop because it’s a big balloon and fall into the ocean or fall off the side of the earth where the lizard people live and where Hillary vacations. You can see the chemtrails from her personal ufo that she keeps at Area 51. Elvis keeps his there too.

      I hate everything about this sentence and the very real line of thinking that Republicans use. Because who else uses it besides Republicans?
