Trump compares violence against Tesla to Capitol riot:

'You didn't have anything like that on Jan 6.

President Trump on Friday compared the vandalization of Tesla
dealerships across the U.S. to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan.6, 2021,
arguing the level of attacks on Elon Musk's company wasn't seen at the
Capitol.
"I view these people as terrorists, just others. When I looked at those
showrooms burning and those cars - not one or two, like seven, eight
10 burning, exploding all over the place. These are terrorists. You didn't
have that on Jan. 6, I can tell you," Trump told reporters in the Oval
Office.

Threatening to kill anyone?

I'm not for vandalism of any kind, but I'll go out on a limb and say Jan. 6 was worse. What a bunch of idiots.

rich, powerful people can cry on each other's shoulders. Meanwhile, the rest of us forge on as we battle the obstacles those same rich, deluded dudes throw in our way.

In his drug induced dreams. You realize there is a piece of shit Tesla orbiting the earth. When we get control of our country again out of the hands of the fascists we should stick either trump or musk in it. Before this is over they will qualify for the death penalty!

Trump admits the January 6 people were involved in rioting and destruction, just not setting things on fire.
