    It isn't illegal.  Just because the words are uttered by Frump, it doesn't make it so.

    Nothing illegal here. I have been boycotting numerous products for many years.

    In America, it is not illegal to  boycott whatever/whoever you want.

    Braking Into Tesla dealerships, lighting them on fire etc...is illegal.  This post was edited by my2cents at March 14, 2025 12:56 PM MDT

    Thing is America has a president that stood on the WH lawn and claimed that “boycotting Tesla is illegal” as well as giving a 5 minute Tesla commercial. If Trump profited from that commercial or was giving a gift – (like a Tesla for example) then it is him that did something illegal. Cheers!

    I have not even looked it up yet. But I can tell you he is referring to the "mostly peaceful" property destruction the "boycotters" are doing.

    It's quite clear you haven't looked it up yet.

    "On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump addressed the recent rise in protests against Tesla, describing the activity as "illegal and collusive."

    "To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is 'putting it on the line' in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB," Trump wrote.

    The president continued: "But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World's great automakers, and Elon's 'baby,' in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for."

    Again, he is talking about the Telsas that have been set on fire and dealers who have been vandalized, etc. 

    Trump does not believe in forcing anyone to buy anything. 

    He should have said attacking not boycotting, but if you follow the full post.   It says they tried the same thing with me.....
    What did they do to him? Attacked via lawfare, attacked his business properties (physically) etc.

    Your interpretation is laughable.

    He said "boycotting" and that's what he meant.  If he didn't, he could have edited his post, but he didn't.  Even you should understand the difference between boycotting something (not illegal) and vandalizing (illegal). This post was edited by Spunky at March 14, 2025 1:00 PM MDT

    To be fair there are times that Trump has opened his mouth and not show his ignorance (lack of knowledge). And those times are when he opens his mouth and shows his perv side – like when he said his daughter is hot. Cheers and happy weekend!

    It isn't.  The orange blob continues to show how ignorant he really is.
