    This is cartoonish villainy.

    He didn’t put his wife or Ivanka or Eric or the Veep’s wife in charge. He’s sitting in the big chair.

    It reminds me of the time we were putting up a tent and a nine-year old girl was getting in the way, trying to help. We told her we needed a rock to help us pound the stakes.

    I assume Musk et al told him this was an important job.

      His handlers let him focus on stupid shit like this to keep him happy and feeling in charge. I’m not being funny or snarky, he’s being controlled this time around, and it’s not just Musk. Once the infighting dies down and the survivors rise up, we’re going straight to hell.

      Where did all the batshit, senile posts go? Remember how bugfuck he was before the election? Go look at Truth Social. It’s a solid wall of conservative article posts. He rarely posts and most of those read like someone imitating Trump, but with far more clear statements.

      I find it funny that both his proponents and opponents think the man is still in charge.

        Its scarier actually to think there are a whole bunch of folks this stupid running thing than just one idiot with stupid ideas.

          I think that this and Greenland are the things to distract us from the real stuff going on. Even Gaza is a sideshow.

            I can’t believe how often I see the stupid canada as a state thing to.

          Oh, it’s not. American still wants their “aircraft carrier” in the eastern Med. This is just taking a more hands-on approach.

        Not just that, all of the (wannabe-)dictators would like to be seen and known as a connaisseur of the arts because they think it grants them status and access to the “elite” in their circles.

        So this is a great carrot to dangle in front of trump, whoever thought of it certainly has this well thought out.
