A lot of people are really mean to President Trump because of all the terrible things he's said and done, but if you think about it, those people don't give him enough credit. Sure, he may be deep in the oil and gas industry's pocket, but his foreign policy has actually been very pro-EV. He's also voiced his support for ending the infamous chicken tax, added a pro-micromobility Transportation Secretary, and at his latest rally in Michigan, he joined the War on Cars on the side of the people who don't want to get splattered by big, dangerous trucks.
Trump's big announcement came after General Motors CEO Mary Barra introduced him to the crowd at GM's Milford Proving Ground. Seemingly in reference to the Chevrolet Bolt that he'd seen earlier in the day, Trump said, "Your company, Mary, if you want. I mean, you have the choice. It's a tiny, little, beautiful car. I'm not sure I'd want to get hit by one of your Silverados, OK? Or one of your Cadillacs. But you'll make 'em as safe as possible, right? You'll put a cocoon. You'll put a little cocoon around 'em. See, I would've been a wonderful automobile designer."
