Every Time Tr**p Appears Together With Musk - He Projects The Image Of A.......

very weak man and a very weak president.

We've been seeing a lot of Tr**p and Musk appearing together in the Oval Office where Musk has taken the stage and is holding court and Tr**p is sitting looking awkward and bored at the Resolute Desk.

I understand that those two will be appearing together for an interview with Hannity.

I really don't think that Tr**p realizes how he is being perceived in the eyes of the American People now.

Tie that image of him with Musk and all the stupid EO's he''s signing; not understanding what tariffs will do to the country; the series of unqualified people he's chosen for his cabinet; the firings of government workers; the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico; the offer to Denmark to buy Greenland; wanting to make Canada the 51st state; etc, etc, etc - he's shooting himself in the foot with every word he says and every post he puts on Truth Social.

We're seeing signs all over this country of the People beginning to rise up and protest him.

How much longer will the Repugs in Congress continue to circle the wagons around him and how much longer will the People put up with his childish and dangerous antics - before the calls for impeachment get louder and serious.

I believe he's an endangered species.

Dominate the messaging that Musk; regardless of his nefarious disregard for civil society; is far more assertive; confident and self-assured while TSF sits there with a blank stare struggling to mind map and phonetically deconstruct the conversation.

Repeat ad nauseam.

I don’t believe for one minute that Elon is any of that; however he only needs to believe it for this to lead to an implosion between the two…

I'm thinking they have a big problem.

Vance is probably a puppet of one or more of the strongmen actually running the show, and was probably intended to step in if/when Trump fades.

But he's a zero. He has no charisma, he probably alienates a significant part of the neo-Nazi movement, & no one respects him. His recent appearances overseas really went well.

Maybe we'll see a replacement cycle after a while. But the problem is, any replacement must be a tool of the triumvirate or whatever you call the boys behind the throne.
