At a ~~campaign event in~~ Las ~~Vegas,~~ Vegas rally, former President Donald Trump again denounced electric‑vehicle owners, calling their range‑anxiety a “disease” and labeling them “crazy.” He reiterated ~~his long‑standing opposition to EV adoption, claiming~~ that he had “ended the electric ~~mandate”~~ mandate,” cited a 7 percent market share for battery‑electric cars, and ~~emphasizing~~ emphasized a continued reliance on oil and gas. ~~In the same rally coverage,~~ Trump also ~~made~~ repeated a false claim that his wife, former First Lady Melania Trump, had produced the year’s top‑grossing ~~film, a~~ film. The documentary ~~that in reality earned modest box‑office returns and~~ “Melania: Twenty Days to History” opened with $7 million, cost $75 million, received overwhelmingly negative ~~reviews. Both snapshots~~ reviews and never topped the box‑office. These remarks echo earlier rally statements and illustrate Trump’s strategy of attacking EV supporters while promoting misleading personal narratives to energize his fossil‑fuel‑friendly base. The ~~remarks~~ comments came as the Biden administration pursued policies to expand EV charging infrastructure and incentivize electric‑vehicle sales, which remain a small share of the U.S. market. ~~Trump’s statements underscore his continued resistance to the transition toward electric transportation.~~
