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?

As legal as promoting beans and pillows!
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
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.
It is illegal to promote anything by Felon Musk.
Impeach him one more time.
Not legal. Nor will there be any repercussions. This is the Goya spectacle all over again, just even more so.
But hey, maybe the morons will buy EVs to “own the libs” instead of rolling coal.
I’m not sure they care about “legal”
Well yeah. They’d care if it lead to impeachment or something though.
When you can get convicted of scores of felonies and still receive no punishment I don’t think you’d care about any laws. All levels of the system have proven themselves unwilling to impose any kind of consequences to him, hes in effect a monarch.
Last time there’s an impeachment… well, nothing happened.
With Republicans in charge of both chambers of even one, there’s zero chance.
