Donald Trump made a campaign promise to promote traditional gas-powered vehicles over their electric counterparts.
Trump was on the campaign trail Sunday stopping in Iowa, which produces 4.1 billion gallons of ethanol annually. The former president turned presidential candidate attacked President Joe Biden's tailpipe emission rules as proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency — rules so strict that the EPA predicts fully electric vehicles will make up two thirds of all new"light duty" and 46% of new medium-duty vehicle sales by 2032.

“Under a Trump Administration, gasoline fired engines will be allowed, but child sexual mutilation will be banned, if that's alright with you,” Trump said to a roaring crowd.

It was specifically meant to go toward 1,700 American-built mass transit systems.
Under the Trump administration in 2018, Low- and No-Emission Grant Awards from the Federal Transit Administration in the amount of $84.45 million were dispersed nationwide towards similar goals.
