Typical market manipulation move. He'll probably announce something regarding bitcoin and the federal reserve today to artificially bump that up too.

Ironically, presidents aren't even allowed to drive.

And even if they were, I wonder if Turnip even knows how to drive a golf cart, let alone an automobile..? 🤔

He knows how to drive businesses and countries into the ground.

I mean... It's a secret service rule, but we know how Trump feels about "norms and traditions".

Daily internet challenge...

Find any video footage of Turnip driving anything...

Honorary mention for any legit evidence whatsoever that he even comprehends how wheels work, like does he even know how to ride a ~~bicycle~~ tricycle?

No cheating, no AI, is there any evidence that the orange turnip knows anything about the wheel?

I was looking for that earlier (and hoping not to find it, to back up an assertion that he didn't). Unfortunately, I found an article that claimed to link to a YouTube video of him driving his Rolls in Florida while listening to Taylor Swift, but the video had been deleted.

Other than that, all I've been able to find are pics of his driver's license and him acting like a toddler in those photo-ops with the big rig and the garbage truck.

Doesn't count, because he's not driving and only demonstrating the most rudimentary understanding of how it works, but this was the first thing that came to mind.

That's called a door, not a wheel. 😂🤣

Come on interwebsters, we're waiting...

Commenting to see the results. I was so amused by the pix of the shrub falling off a Segway.

What a silly rule! Where I'm from, an active president can drive a scooter to go meet his mistress.
