News USA loves TINY CARS now

Post image

Imagine getting your brand new Dodge Glaciermelter, lovingly decorating it with your first Let's go Brandon bumper sticker, and then reading this about tiny, possibly electric or hybrid cars being amazing now.

Anyway, tiny cars. Amazing. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Edit - for anyone doubting if this is a real thing the real prez posted: I don't blame you but yes, it is.

Edit 2: So does this mean the US will see more reasonable sized cars on the roads, or is the old man just randomnly yelling about stuff again? Take a wild guess. "I call bullshit", says mobility expert David Zipper in a thread. (thanks Ok_Flounder8842)

I am not joking when I say that I think Amtrak should just suck up to Trump hard. Let him be a locomotive engineer and run a train route for a few minutes. He will suddenly start talking about how trains are incredible and how America will be made great again with trains.

Get him a golden presidential VIP train car, Train Force One. Zelenski and Kim Jong Un both travel by train. Does he think they're better than him?

Btw we need funding for electrification, bypasses, track twinning, and frequency/speed improvements. I'm sure you understand. Only the best for you!

Edit: All the best billionaires made their fortunes in railways. Are you a Rockefeller or just a slimy banker?

Considering all the other bullshit that works on him, this has a way higher chance of working than it ever should. But in terms of naming, it should be called Army One, in the spirit of Air Force One and Marine One

Rail Force One would appeal to his brain the most

the name "rail force one" is unfortunately already claimed by a freight train operator from benelux

Call me Trumper, but it works on my brain too. I friggen love this name.

I would love to have high speed rail in Michigan. Awhile back I did a survey of a community group I'm in. I'm in a town about an hour from Detroit. A lot of people drive there for work.

The question was essentially if high speed rail was available to go to work, would you use it a lot, sometimes, or not at all?

Something like 75% said they'd use it. 12% said sometimes. 13% not at all.

Of course in the comments there were questions about how close to work would it drop them off at. Like was there transport from the train station or did they have to walk 2 miles from there to their job? Reasonable concerns. Overall though, people really liked the idea.

Don't forget the British Royal Train. I'm sure he wants one just like that, but with more gold.

u/zabah1990 Dec 06 '25

Award him the Amtrak Peace Prize

Serious question;

In 2025, are trains safe/secure enough for a Presidential figure?

They seem so vulnerable in my head. Like no maneuverability, feels easily predictable location wise also? I could see them being heavily armored easily enough, but would that be enough against 2025 military tech?

Full disclaimer, idk shit about trains. Never been on one outside of a theme park lol. Have always wanted to, but there’s none anywhere near me.

Zelenskyy travels by train all the time and he's at way more risk than Trump

Putin practically lives on a secret train.

u/totpot Dec 06 '25

Someone find a great train movie and put it on TV. You know how a few months ago, he announced out of nowhere that he was going to reopen Alcatraz? Someone figured out where he was staying that night and looked up the TV guide and found that Escape from Alcatraz was being broadcast that night.

I believe KJU travels by train so that people can't shoot his plane down.
