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!

      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.

    Playground tactics is the only thing that works on Trump and the novo facists. Time to use their terminology against them - Donald Trump should now only be referred to as the Cuckold-in-Chief

    Did they SLAM him tough? It’s all well and good to HUMILIATE him and make him POWERLESS… But if they don’t SLAM him, was there really any progress? Any resistance? I don’t think so… \s \s \s

    So is that the first kid ever caught picking their nose in the oval office beside the president?

      I’d wager not. Lots of kids have visited the various presidents, and kids will pick their noses anywhere at any time. Posted publicly? Far fewer…

      Aha! Here’s one who didn’t even have the decency to pick its OWN nose!

      May I just draw your attention to how much better Obama relates to this child.

    I feel really stupid for asking this, but it’s recurring problem so I’m exposing my weaknesses.

    Whenever I go to the daily beast to read an article, all I ever see is a headline and a picture. I have tried clicking around and I have absolutely no clue as to how to read an article on the daily beast.

    If any of you young whipper snappers would have mercy on an old fart, I would appreciate it.

    All three of them have about the same level of intelligence and I’d trust the four year old more.

    If people want Elon out. This is the best way. Use him to insult trumps ego. He can’t handle it. His baby hands just won’t allow someone else to steal the thunder.

      Until maga caps, it was considered very rude to wear a ballcap to an event where others are in a suit and tie.

    God, the President looks like an asshole who would wear a baseball cap in an Olive Garden…Trump doesn’t look so happy either.

    Musk is so fucking disgusting. Bringing his kid around as a human shield too is a new low.
