The government already decides what you drive.

There is a vast difference between OUR government telling me what to drive or how to drive, versus foreign governments telling me what to drive.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK."

It is bizarre that there is no outrage over the statement. The implication is clearly, indisputably, that "other countries" should have some say in what we drive, what temperature we choose to keep our homes at, and how much we eat.

You cannot rationally draw any other inference from the remark.
