The ridiculous All Electric Car Policy of the Biden Administration will go down as the greatest gift that our Country has ever given to China. They have, or control, 100% of the material necessary to make the BATTERY - We have nothing, but we have the “gasoline,” & they don’t. Electric cars are much more expensive, both to buy and to run, will NEVER go nearly as far, & will have very little overall impact on the environment. This is almost as “dumb” as the U.S. Border Policy. LET MARKET DECIDE!

Fact Checks (4)

"China controls 100% of the material necessary to make batteries"

Mostly False

China dominates lithium processing (~60%) and rare earth processing (~80%), but does not control 100%. Australia, Chile, and others are major lithium miners. The US has domestic lithium reserves.

"Electric cars are much more expensive to run"

Mostly False

EVs have significantly lower fuel costs (electricity vs gasoline) and lower maintenance costs (fewer moving parts). Purchase price was higher in 2022 but total cost of ownership was approaching parity.

"Electric cars will NEVER go nearly as far"

Half True

In 2022, most EVs had shorter range than gas vehicles on a full charge vs full tank. However, ranges were rapidly improving (300+ miles becoming common) and adequate for most daily driving.

"Electric cars will have very little overall impact on the environment"

Mostly False

Transportation is the largest source of US GHG emissions. EVs produce significantly fewer lifecycle emissions even accounting for manufacturing and grid mix.

Psychological Analysis: Anti-EV Policy Post (2022-09-15)

Overview

A policy-focused post attacking the Biden administration's electric vehicle initiatives, framing them as a gift to China. The post combines policy criticism with characteristic hyperbole and ends with a free-market rallying cry.

Authorship

Posted at 11:17 UTC = 7:17 AM ET. Trump was likely at Mar-a-Lago or potentially in transit during this period. Early morning timing is consistent with authentic Trump posting. The stream-of-consciousness style, use of ALL CAPS for emphasis ("BATTERY," "NEVER," "LET MARKET DECIDE"), the ampersand usage, and the parenthetical asides all point to authentic authorship. The post reads as a single extended thought rather than a polished statement.

Psychological State

This is a maintenance/supply-seeking post rather than one triggered by acute narcissistic injury. The subject is positioning himself as the policy expert who sees what others cannot — a characteristic grandiose frame. The comparison to border policy at the end connects this to a broader narrative of Democratic incompetence.

Rhetorical Analysis

The post deploys several classic techniques: appeal to national interest (China framing), false dichotomy (gas vs. electric), hyperbole ("greatest gift ever given to China," "100% of the material"), and the closing imperative "LET MARKET DECIDE!" which functions as a populist applause line despite Trump's own history of tariffs and market intervention.
