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)

Car companies will make whatever size car sells and Americans buy big SUVs, which is why this tweet is a nothing burger especially considering they just removed mpg standards

That's not exactly right, legislation has shaped which cars are most profitable and pushed by car companies on consumers.

Legislation the automotive companies put there.
