CNN confirmed on-air just now that top Trump aides are furiously calling journalists to insist that Elon Musk has been following the orders of Trump rather than the other way around. As predicted, Trump is horrified and enraged at the idea that Musk is now seen as the President of the United States.

Trump has even fewer duties than any previous FLOTUS (excepting Melania, she didn't do much). I think he's mostly just supposed to show up at ribbon cuttings and smile.
that all he does is scowl like Hitler. So, he is incompetent even at that.

Special Assistant to President Musk is having a tough day. Somebody get him a Mic to fellate.
Regardless of who is giving the orders, they are wrong and damaging to our country on purpose.

I don't know what your definition of "old" is, but many don't deserve to be lumped in a category with Trump.

Even fucking Republicans know the truth. After all, money is the only thing that matters in their world. They just can't afford to fucking admit it.

There are some good ones out there, if you care to Google!
This bromance isn't going to last, is it?
One of them has to be seen to be in charge. The White House Oval Office isn't big enough for two planet sized egos.

Then post to Trump that Elon is trying to take his job away from him, and he can't let that second rate nobody do that.
