Trump Told Oil Executives He'd Kill Electric Cars If They Give Him One Billion Dollars

- Like an even more sinister version of Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies, Donald Trump recently promised oil executives that he would kill environmental regulations - and get rid of electric vehicles - if they give him ONE BILLION DOLLARS. This is how politics works these days, but few politicians are bold enough to actually say it out loud like Trump did. But this could also be viewed as a form of either bribery or extortion, depending on how you look at it. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

I wonder how many other little deals he's done? He's a traitor.
Trump doesn't care about breaking the law cuz he know this justice system ain't gonna do nothing but talk.
When he was President his family and him received money all the time. You can't trust this man at all. People wake up, he is a professional con man.
exactly.
With a Capitol T.
That's why he can never become president again! America will be held host@ge to these corporations through tRump! Vote Blue! 😊
For the sake of mankind this man must never enter the White House again.
He won’t get the chance! That’s over!
He needs to be in prison for his crimes.
Not even on a tour.
The only house I want to see Trump enter is the Big House with grey bars, a dirty mattress and the cheapest one ply toilet paper there is.
@@user-je8go1gp5gwe all need to vote and make sure of it.
Isn't that illegal? Can this jerk be charged?
Yes. But nothing will be done, as usual.🌊🇺🇸
By who? Meek Merrick 😂
Quid pro quo
Apparently, it’s on the fringe of being illegal but, it doesn’t cross that line because it’s not specific enough.
@@user-pm4jb2iy6y Actually,,, It is as illegal as all get out ,,, and yes he can be charged for it,,all the damn good it'll do.
His existence is a crime.
Exactly
Do something about it!
The "Grifter in Chief" would sell out America for 30 pieces of silver.
Nay, he'd sell us out for 30 copper pieces
If someone offered less, he'd take it
He may have already; he’s buds with Putin.
Nah, he'd be like Mr. Krabs and sell the whole country for 62 cents
Yep
Shame on the oil and gas guys for meeting with Trump, in the 1st place.
Absolutely!!!
These effers are all on the same page
Wanna bet that those guys see themselves as super-patriots.
They have no souls
Well it's not like we all don't know how corrupt they are already, It's ok to be out of the closet and in the open now, they own enough judges to do as they please!
The Department of Justice needs to stop pussyfooting around and lock his ass up. This has gotten way out of hand.
Agreed. This should not even be happening!
MY GOD ..SUCH VILE CORRUPTION...DUMP HAS Contaminated. OUR COUNTRY....DISGRACEFUL...LOCK HIM UP.
Who going to take care of the Mob that is his Cult. He spends 1 Night in Jail and we are in Civil War again Donald Trumps Cult.
the United States AG is a candy ass. for that reason nothing is going to happen. he is a big disappointment.
There shouldn’t even be any trials whatsoever. Just deport him to Russia where he belongs. Preferably to the coldest spot.
That's not extortion, that's soliciting a bribe.
Somehow that’s worse
Isn’t it quid pro quo? You pay me, i get rid of EV’s.
Seriously, American political corruption is out of control.
It has been for decades, you are just getting used to it.
Cause of Trump, put the cherry on top
@@hanserikkratholmrasmussen6623 Yes, Trump is just bringing it out into the open for everyone to see. If you only knew how lobbyists operate, you'd know how corrupt the system is.
I wonder if Lewis Powell, author of the One Nine Seven One memo that sent the judicial branch in this direction, ever anticipated it going this far.
Because Trump runs politics like he’s been running his businesses; maximizing personal benefit, and bancrupting them when it was profitable. AND he’s decaying mentally.
A crook and liar can never change.
Once a traitor always a traitor, same as a cheat.
Basically 💯💯
What a very false and right wing thing to say.
Disagree
Trump doesn’t change. Because he’s ”done nothing wrong”🙃
Vote Trump, say goodbye to clean air and water and, in time, a habitable world for your grandchildren. Such a caring man Donald isn't he...?
How can his supporters think what he said is okay? I don't get it!
He is PURE GARBAGE
With the toxic gas he personally is releasing, it's obvious that he doesn't care about clean air.
Very caring: He cares for the money they will pay him!
@@MetalMama-zb4wgThey just don't understand or believe in climate change or anything to do with the environment, pollution, fossil fuels etc
He says it because nobody stops him. He is normalizing this behavior.
He is right though…so far.
@@user-je8go1gp5g About what?
Thanks to your judiciary system.
I agree that our judiciary system is sleep walking our country to where it is normal for politicians to openly sell out our country. No need for back room deals, which have been there since before the US was founded. Now it's normal to stand out in the public square and ask for bids.
And this is why crime has gone crazy. They see him getting away with murder. They think why not us!
Trump is pathetically desperate.
Well spoken words!!!
Well, he's got a lot of legal issues which require money. Don't forget, he's got over $400 million in fines he has to pay off.
Calling Trump "pathetically desperate" is putting it mildly
Well he’s definitely pathetic! 😂
No one has made a violate of our laws like this man. And he's still able to run for POTUS. Trump is rotten to the core.
Well spoken words.
Yes
How do these people lit him run for president why is all these people afraid of him what does he know about them
@@kathleenallison6132It’s more that we have no legal recourse. He is eligible amd free to run.
@@skechij5856Which means the regulations on who can run for president have aged like milk.
Donald's desperation is showing 😮😅😢
It always is.
Even with 88 charges, doesn't seem that the government has any interest in holding trump accountable
Except Judge Marchan!
88 charges he wants more.
@@user-je8go1gp5g you mean the guy that admitted that he didn't want to throw trump in jail despite continuing to break the gag order?
Trump for PRISON
New bumper stickers "Trump for 24......to life"
*Drumpf* is going to present the *Secret Service* with a binary choice: To protect *Drumpf* or *_not._*
Since *Drumpf* _was_ the _Commander In Chief_ at the time, the *US Military* may choose to incarcerate at *Camp Delta* in *Gitmo.*
He can be requested to appear via *Zoom,* over a VPN, be muted at any time by the judge, and have his view of the court limited to the judge and the witness stand.
That should be enough to control him. The next trials? ... Why move him?
Trump for extermination?
Vote blue America for Democracy and Freedom 💙
he's actually selling the government.
Trump can't wake up in the morning without committing a crime
Him still breathing is a crime.
He probably doesn't even need to wake up.
He crimes in his sleep.
@@francesmeyer8478I hope he never sleeps ever again.
@@mattdonlan7745 Trump for gravel pit 2024!
Did you think I was joking when I said Trump was so stupid he didn't know he was stupid?
🙌😆😂🤣
Very good. He'd be a lot more dangerous if he were intelligent and clever, and behaved more like a normal person.
At least Bush was smart enough to recognize that he’s an idiot…. And Bush said that Trump makes him look smart in comparison
Dunning Kruger in full bloom..
In the old days they had a saying if he had brains he would be dangerous. That was for people who couldn’t make it to the out house let alone the White House!
If they gave him a billion dollars, they would never see him again!
He promises much but delivers little.🌊🇺🇸
As the saying goes: "If you lend your friend a hundred dollars and never see them again, it was probably worth it"!
Lock him up. He’s a criminal
Ask him if he will return the money, if he doesn't get elected.
He has ZERO chance of getting elected!
@@lindastrickland8924 Unfortunately he has a chance.
IKR he only about himself he is only loyal to himself not others
@@canuckprogressive.3435😂🤣😂🤪
That’s funny!
So maga, tell us how trump is for the regular working people again?!?!
Well spoken words!!!
A man and his sheep.
No regulations means all jobs for robots. magaga
@@MichaelWinter-ss6lx
No regulations mean they can polute, sell you shoddy products, hide nasty surprises in “the small print” and basically screw you over with no way to win a case.
Because Biden's going to take away our beer! No seriously, there was a thing going around right wing circles which said that Biden was going to limit sales of beer to one or two a week. Just the same as how they claimed he was going to limit all Americans to like 20 oz. of beef per year.
Trump can be bought for the highest bidder.
Vote Blue.
It's lucky for him that your justice system will never jail him.
It's lucky he didn't pull this crap in Russia or Eastern Europe.
Complete traitor
1 Billion Dollars...Donald Trump doing his best Dr Evil impression.
They are getting bolder and bolder. If you don't hold them accountable now this will be the norm .
And the Trump crime wave continues unabated....
Screw you Trump😡I love my EV and I won’t give it up! EV’s are amazing and we should all free ourselves from big oil. Stand up and throw off your chains!
In Norway almost 90 percent of new car sales are electric. No way of turning back.
What bums me out about them, is you HAVE to have a phone, and Internet, or if u break down, u'r screwed....
On one hand, you're being a bit melodramatic. On the other hand, I don't disagree with you.
Hydrogen is a much better option, it works just like a gas engine, you fill up at a station, and its water vapor out of the tailpipe. There also isn't the stigma of the components of the EV. I think they just got bigger since a hydrogen car is just a normal car, they don't have the super acceleration the EV's have. I saw a Top Gear many years ago when James May went over the hydrogen stuff. I think Iceland has a big network of hydrogen stations.
@@roscoemuttley Uhm... no. I remember my high school auto tech teacher talking about that type of hydrogen cell you describe, and the big problem (according to him) was that an actual hydrogen explosion was too much combustion for a car to handle. (As a kid, I hoped these would eventually be a thing, with the ability to both separate the water and re-oxygenate it with only water as the exhaust, but alas...CURSE YOU NEWTON!!!)
The kind of "hydrogen vehicles' we now have are nothing but electric cars with a small battery and a hydrogen powered generator.
The biggest problem with these is getting the hydrogen. While it is the most abundant element in the universe, it's pretty rare in the pure form such vehicles need and extracting/manufacturing it is extremely cost prohibitive. Never mind the cost of setting up the infrastructure.
Electricity, on the other hand, already has a MASSIVE infrastructure. It's just a matter of increasing the capacity of it.
Solicitation for bribery. Love it
And no one will care, there will be no repercussions no punishments not even a slap on my wrist. His son-in-law will probably get another $2 billion.
He would do that anyway if he wins. Don't let it happen USA.
Believe it. He's telling you outright how bad this will be....
So why is he not ARRESTED for racketering
He was already INDICTED for RICO charges in Georgia.
Because trump has made it painfully obvious we have two different justice system in USA …. One for the poor and none for the rich!
$pecial interests over we the people policy?
They are throwing their money away
*Let them.*
They dont mind as long as it doesn't serve any good purpose.
A billion dollars between all those companies is like a nickle to us
Ehh they'll be alright as long as they still get their annual 80 million in government subsidies
@@davidpaul6656
I believe they get more than that.
This alone should disqualify him from office!
"corrupt" is not a strong enough word to describe Trump.
Donald Trump committing a crime? What a shocker. 😜
You would think that asking for cash to make policy would be illegal but here we are.
This story needs to be in the main media and on ads for Biden
They’re wasting their money on a lame horse.
Corruption is rampant!!!.
Save American democracy, vote blue 💙 💙💙💙
How many foreign countries did he offer that deal to during his previous administration?
How is this not a Bribe?
Quid Pro Quo? That is illegal. WTF with this guy? Hello, FBI.
"...the broke-ass former president said."
🤭😄😂🤣
That was a hilarious response 😂😂😂
How're the MAGA bots going to spin this one?
The same way they always do: Projection and whataboutisms galore.
Omg YES!!!
I can't wait to hear their explanations...
Ah, c'mon now, Donald Trump could be long lensed by a reporter in a child brothel in Manila and his cult freaks would still be screeching their approval of him.
They won't "spin" it. They will praise this vileness to high heaven.
@@canuckprogressive.3435 They'll say 'everybody does it'. Trump is amazing for being 'honest'. It doesn't matter what Trump says... the wingnuts will rationalize it.
So can we add another charge to his list? Soliciting a bribe.
How is this not extortion of the oil industry?
I wonder if Elon still loves him now…. 😂😂😂
One Billion Dollars!!
Thanks, Farron! That was good for a laugh!
IT ain't funny.
It's not funny at all.
And if they were stupid enough to give it to him. He would want more.
As usual, Trump will not get convicted nor suffer consequences.
Trump. Criminal protection racket for oil barons.
Guaranteed no one charges him.
"Quid pro quo"..... smh
How will Trump do all of that for these oil companies... FROM BEHIND BARS?!
He needs to be thrown into the lockup🤬🤬
Donald "Pay to Play" Trump
Surprised he went that cheap with his lies/con job. And you can bet when he doesn't get in he ain't paying them back a single dime
It's call BRIBERY.
After Trump, GOP will pick the joker for president...
Sounds like bribe solicitation.
Corruption unmasked but will it be told beyond our circles
Seriously, they are already making electric cars .This is extortion!!!..even if they give him a billion bucks these cars will STILL BE MADE!!!!
FDT!!!!
corruption!
“Free market” my ass.
The Briber strikes [out] again! 🦋🇺🇸💙
And we can expect Garland do nothing about it. As usual.
Isn't he currently on trial?
@@steveclark8304 Yes, Trump is on trial for crimes Garland had to be goaded into investigating only when the evidence was shoved in his face. And as a result of Garland’s inaction and delays, we will now not have any of these Federal trials completed before the election. Someone said, atrocities don’t happen so much because bad people do bad things, but because good people are weak and afraid.
It may be illegal but only if your poor
What’d he tell Elon Musk?
That's a lot of money for someone who may not win. Does he have to give it all back when he loses?
Hopefully he will be behind bars. Then money won't help him,😁
This proves he's only after one thing MONEY.
The Spray Tan Slug saying the quiet parts out loud. Why should he worry though. He's never faced any real consequences for anything else he's said
1:13 Sounds like extortion to me Farron from Don Vonshitzenpants!
A billion won't last long with Trump.
Have him arrested!
It's because trump knows he can do and say whatever he wants to, and nothing will ever happen to him.
Isn't this influence peddling? Trump probably considers this just his usual way of doing business.
The level of ignorance just beggars belief.
Yet I have a feeling nothing is going to happen to Trump
He's playing the wrong game with people who are 10x smarter. Wont end well for him.
Unfortunately, it's all OK for his cultists!
Trump is his own worst enemy.
“Stupid is as stupid does.”
It’s hard to credit that so many worship him. It’s a reflection on them that they are not bothered by this sort of corruption!
This money won't be for the campaign. It's going to pay his judgements, Mel's hair and makeup and his legal fees 😮
and this is a candidate for the presidency lol...
HE'S A WALKING, TALKING FOR SALE SIGN AND NO ONE AND NOTHING IS SAFE.
He is such a criminal!!!
Just try bringing this up to a trump supporter, they probably say "what about hunter Biden" 😹
how long until he offer deals to Russia, and i don't just mean money deals
You would think a former president, who was impeached for this same action, would know better, especially in an openly public setting.
I just can't with this trump guy anymore.
Just another chapter in the art of the grift for trump and the corruption coalition.
He wants to run NATO the same way.
So they give him 1 billion dollars and if he doesnt win, oh well - thanks for the legal fees!
This alone should disqualify him!
