Summary

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell criticized Donald Trump’s joint press conference with Elon Musk, calling it the “most powerless image” of a U.S. president.

Musk, dressed casually and accompanied by his young son, dominated the event, speaking more than Trump and even interrupting him.

O’Donnell suggested Musk overshadowed Trump, highlighting Trump’s dependence on the billionaire.

The two claimed to have uncovered government fraud but provided no evidence.

    We need a pithy, demeaning nickname to sum this up, something that’ll really get under his thin skin. I’ll suggest PINO, “President In Name Only.” Open to suggestions tho!

      How about just ‘Secretary Trump’ or ‘Elons secretary’ it puts him in a lesser position and also plays on the fact that he’s a raging mysoginist.

      I suggest changing it slightly to POTUSITO - President of the United States In Title Only.

      Has the added bonus of -ito being a diminutive suffix in Spanish, and probably many related languages, so afaik one could read it as “little POTUS” 😁

      How about “Pinto” - President in name/title only?

      Since it’s vaguely related to Hispanic food, it’ll upset him more.

      He apparently really hated the “President Musk” comments.

      I like Pino, I do think we need to add to it and get him from many angles. I can’t think of any that would piss him off enough. Something like Musk’s personal assistant so his name doesn’t even get mentioned.
