In his first comments since the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago compound, Donald Trump took aim at electric vehicles in a speech over the weekend that managed to attack two of his main opponentsrising Republican star Elon Musk as well as incumbent President Joe Biden.
Trumps ambition to be the first to win back the White House since Grover Cleveland in 1893 was dealt a blow last month when law enforcement authorities seized confidential records property of the federal government unlawfully stored at Trumps Florida home.
The polarizing Apprentice reality TV star-turned-politician had already been facing an uphill battle of late. Soaring gas prices have been on the decline, robbing Republicans of their biggest cudgel, while Biden pushed through a series of signature legislative wins for his policy agenda including tax breaks for electric vehicles popularized by Musks Tesla.
At a speech this weekend in the coal-mining town of Wilkes-Barre in Pennsylvania, Trump hinted he would roll back any such subsidies, recounting a story about a friend fed up with driving their EV from Kentucky to Washington, DC, due to all the alleged charging stops.
