I know America has very relaxed advertising laws, but is using the Office of the President (and the White House) to promote a private enterprise legal?
The US has recently ruled that the president is allowed to break any and all laws if they feel it’s good for the country.
Trump feels that promoting Tesla vehicles is good for the country, so he is promoting their sale to American citizens. The same way that Trump felt it was a matter of national importance to advertise Goya canned foods during his last reign.
Americans are a deeply unserious people.
In the UK we’d call this a “conflict of interest”
Yeah we do too… Just for some reason we never got around to making that actually illegal. It’s just frowned upon
As legal as promoting beans and pillows!
