0:55Now PlayingPresident Trump showed off Tesla vehicles outside the White House earlier this week in front of reporters and alongside one of his top advisors, Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, who was also a major donor to Trump's reelection bid.
Richard Painter, a former ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, says the event signals the Trump administration's intent to build an economy driven by personal favoritism, with the government picking the winners and losers.
The photo-op came after months of falling Tesla stock prices and as Tesla storefronts and superchargers have been hit with vandalism nationwide, acts Trump says will be considered domestic terrorism.
