Trump the Chump bought a Tesla car solely to show "support" for 
Muskrat's ailing car company, but that car has 37 recall notices for 
problems that require fixing before he can even drive it (not that he

the complete opposite and shows yet another great reasons why people 
should NOT buy Tesla's crappy cars.
