President Trump just labeled anti-Tesla vandalism as “domestic terrorism” while simultaneously purchasing a new Tesla Model S – a stunning power move that leaves leftist protesters absolutely fuming.

Trump Draws Hard Line Against Tesla Attackers
The left’s unhinged campaign against America’s premier electric vehicle maker has finally crossed a line that the Biden administration never would have defended. President Trump announced Tuesday that vandalism targeting Tesla dealerships will be classified as domestic terrorism, sending a clear message to the radical activists who’ve been attacking Elon Musk’s company across the nation. The attacks, which have included spray-painting vehicles at a Massachusetts dealership and setting fire to charging stations in Littleton, represent a dangerous escalation from what began as supposedly “peaceful protests” against Musk’s role in the Trump administration’s efforts to streamline federal government.
“They’re harming a great American company,” Trump declared, adding a stark warning to perpetrators: “Let me tell you, you do it to Tesla, and you do it to any company, we’re going to catch you, and … you’re going to go through hell.” The president’s remarks reflect a common-sense approach to protecting American businesses that the previous administration consistently failed to demonstrate during years of unchecked leftist destruction across major cities. Trump emphasized that surveillance footage has already identified some vandals, putting them on notice that consequences are coming.
Presidential Endorsement Like No Other
In perhaps the most fascinating twist to this saga, Trump didn’t just defend Tesla with words – he put his money where his mouth is by personally selecting a new Tesla Model S as his latest vehicle. This remarkable endorsement of America’s leading electric vehicle manufacturer comes at a crucial time, with Tesla shares experiencing volatility amid analyst concerns about delivery projections. The president’s purchase represents not just a personal choice but a powerful statement about supporting American innovation even when it becomes a target for the radical left’s destructive tendencies.
“I will do that, I’ll do it, I’m going to stop them,” Trump said regarding his stance against Tesla attackers. “They’re bad guys. They’re the same guys that screw around with our schools and universities.”
The irony is palpable – while leftist protesters claim to care about workers and the environment, they’re actively trying to destroy an American company pioneering electric vehicles and providing thousands of jobs. This isn’t about principled opposition – it’s about punishing Musk for daring to help the Trump administration identify government waste and inefficiency through his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency. Heaven forbid we have a government that actually runs efficiently instead of bleeding taxpayers dry!
Real Victims of Tesla Harassment Speak Out
Lost in the political crossfire are regular Americans who simply chose to purchase Tesla vehicles for their technology or environmental benefits, only to find themselves targeted by extremists. Dr. Kumait Jaroje, a Tesla Cybertruck owner, had a Nazi sticker placed on his vehicle – a disgusting tactic meant to intimidate and harass. Initially deterred from driving his vehicle due to the harassment, Dr. Jaroje now feels encouraged to continue using his Cybertruck following Trump’s strong stance. It’s telling that the supposed champions of tolerance and inclusion are the ones engaging in blatant intimidation against private citizens.
“When you vandalize people’s property, when you terrorize them for their personal choices this is not acceptable,” said Dr. Jaroje. “That’s not the right way to do it. Express what you think, talk about it, go online, go protest but don’t vandalize, don’t destroy, don’t terrorize.”
The so-called “Tesla Takedown” movement claims it opposes property destruction while organizing demonstrations that repeatedly devolve into vandalism – a familiar pattern we’ve seen from leftist movements that claim peaceful intentions while creating environments where violence flourishes. Their weak response that “peaceful protest on public property is not domestic terrorism” deliberately misses Trump’s point – he’s specifically targeting the violent criminals defacing and destroying property, not those exercising their First Amendment rights. But when has the left ever been interested in intellectually honest debate?
UPDATE: President Donald Trump announced plans to label violence against Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism, as part of a growing alliance with Elon Musk, according to a transcript shared by White House pool reporters.
