The numbers don't lie, Patriots – and they're absolutely devastating for the left's green energy fantasy. Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis have collectively announced more than $50 billion in charges as they scramble to retreat from the electric vehicle disaster that the Biden regime tried to force down America's throat.

Ford alone took a staggering $19.5 billion hit in December, announcing massive cutbacks amid plummeting EV demand. But here's what the mainstream media won't tell you: this financial carnage was entirely predictable, and President Trump warned us this would happen.

While Biden was busy mandating electric vehicles that nobody wanted and couldn't afford, Trump consistently argued that the market – not government bureaucrats – should decide what Americans drive. Guess who was right?

The Green Boondoggle Exposed

These aren't just numbers on a spreadsheet, folks. We're talking about tens of billions of dollars that could have gone to American workers, research and development, or actual innovations that consumers actually want. Instead, it was flushed down the drain chasing the left's climate change obsession.

Now that Trump has eliminated the EV tax credits – those taxpayer-funded subsidies that artificially propped up this failing industry – we're seeing the true market demand for electric vehicles. Spoiler alert: it's nowhere near what the climate activists promised.

"The American people deserve vehicles they can afford and actually want to drive, not government-mandated toys for the wealthy elite," one industry analyst noted.

This is what happens when you let the free market work instead of having Washington pick winners and losers. The Trump administration's America First approach prioritizes what's actually good for American families and workers, not what sounds good at a World Economic Forum meeting.

The question now is: how many more Biden-era disasters will we have to clean up before America is truly great again?

I work at a Ford dealership and can tell you firsthand that most customers aren't interested in EVs beyond maybe a second car for city driving. The demand just isn't there like Biden's people claimed it would be. This policy shift will save thousands of auto jobs.

Thanks for the inside perspective Steve. The media never tells us what's really happening on dealer lots.

Can someone explain how much money this actually saves taxpayers? I keep hearing these huge numbers thrown around but want to understand the real impact on our deficit.

Finally! Someone with common sense who understands that you can't just force an entire industry to change overnight. The market should decide what Americans want to drive, not Washington bureaucrats.

Exactly right Mike. I haul freight cross-country and there's no way EVs could handle my routes with current charging infrastructure.

This is what happens when you let the free market work instead of government picking winners and losers. EVs will succeed when they're actually better and more affordable than gas cars, not because of mandates and subsidies.
