Trump Hilariously Fails to Play it Cool Over Time Cover of Elon Musk
Donald Trump spent years begging to be the magazine’s person of the year.
You're viewing a single thread.
Time’s decision to feature Steve Bannon on the cover in the early days of Trump’s first term effectively ended his romance with his top strategist.
Maybe it will have the same effect with muskrat.
I don't think he could. Musk and the techbros alongside him likely saved the Trump campaign from financial ruin. Trump can't be rid of them if he wanted to.
Why? It's not like he has to worry about reelection.
I'll copy pasta something I wrote a while back in a similar thread. These guys have plenty of levers over Trump.
"Hey, Clarence, how you doing? Virgina doing OK? Good, good. Hey, I was just thinking, my wife and I were going to use the yacht this weekend, but we had something else come up. It’s all stocked and fueled, and it’d be a shame if it went to waste. Would you and Virginia like to get away? Ok, excellent, I’ll let the crew know.
“Oh, and Thomas, you know that big ruling on Trump’s boarder plan? Yeah, make sure it doesn’t go the President’s way. Yes, of course, I’ll make sure there’s plenty of eyebrow torture porn on the shipboard theater.”
Given that one of those "tech bros" is currently setting up the system that trump NEEDS to reach the point of not worrying about reelection he HAS to brown nose them
He can't be reelected
I really hope they don't make any changes to term limits so that you're right and I'm wrong.
It's the 22nd Amendment. They don't have the support to change that until they're ready to just publicly ignore everything in the Constitution, and when that's the case the votes won't matter anyways.
Now show me where they're paying attention to what they can't do.
Like, how nobody can just access secure government systems without proper clearance, which the President can't actually just give without procedure.
Or even more simply, the fact that Trump is not in fact currently eligible to be President in the first place due to his part in the events of Jan. 6.
I do not have confidence that they will be stopped by the fact that something is not permitted, because they aren't being stopped by things that are not permitted, and if this continues for 4 years...there will be nothing left of the system that is supposed stop them.
Fair point, but til then vote your hearts out!
