President has Tesla showroom come to him, buys car at full price

Vowing to catch those who recently have attacked and vandalized Tesla dealerships around the nation – and declare them "domestic terrorists" – President Donald Trump today appeared with Elon Musk outside the White House at a temporary showroom, and paid full price for one of the vehicles.

As he spoke to media alongside Musk, Trump explained that the vandals are "harming a great American company."

Said Trump, "Those people are going to have a lot of problems when we catch them. … They're bad guys. They're the same guys who screw around with our schools and universities" – a reference to recent pro-Hamas protests at Columbia and other campuses.

Speaking about Musk, Trump labeled the world's richest man "an incredible patriot," and added, "I don't even know if he is a Republican!" Musk has taken heat since Trump's inauguration for his work at DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency.
The president affirmed to reporters that he was paying full price for the red Tesla Model S parked outside the South Portico of the White House. Responding to Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, Trump stated, "I know [Musk] would give me a discount, but honestly I don't want to ask for one."
