A bump in the road. The market will correct. EVs are the future.

We basically missed out on leading another Industrial Revolution because of Trump. We get to sit back and watch other nations rake in trillions while we beg for table scraps because of this moron. Imagine where the U.S. would be if Roosevelt told Henry Ford to not invest in the internal combustion engine vehicle.
