Donald Trump cannot drive due to Secret Service rules
Donald Trump recently announced he will buy a Tesla but stated he is not allowed to drive. He explained that he hasn't driven in years and will keep the car at the White House for staff use. This restriction is due to the Former Presidents Act of 1958, which prohibits former U.S. presidents from driving on public roads. The law ensures they remain under constant Secret Service protection. Trump's purchase of the Tesla is a show of support for Elon Musk amid challenges the company faces, including protests and declining sales. He inspected several models before choosing a red Model S.
