Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Wild that a toddler actively picking his nose is the most mature person in this picture
This picture makes me think of a scene from Superman 2 where Zod is in the oval office and the president is sitting to address the nation, looking defeated. Maybe I'm misremembering. I'll have to dig out my movie and see. Of course, Elon is no Zod, and Trump just looks lost. I'd bet the kid picking his nose has a higher IQ than the other 2 combined.
Calling him the Cuckhold in Chief would be an insult to proud generation of cucks
We are all being humiliated here
Where's the article? All I see is an image
Great take designed for the audience of one. Hope Schmuck's lil bitch sees it and reacts as intended. We need the media and everyone to keep hyping this angle if we're ever going to get musk out of there.
Cuck
Sitting quietly in the cuck chair while his owner rambles for hours about who knows what.
Meatball Don
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!

"47 standing next to 45"
How about just 'Secretary Trump' or 'Elons secretary' it puts him in a lesser position and also plays on the fact that he's a raging mysoginist.
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" 😁
🎵POTUS-ito 🎵this is how we do it down in Puerto Rico
I will shout this one from the rooftops! It'll piss Trump off like no other.
How about "Pinto" - President in name/title only?
Since it's vaguely related to Hispanic food, it'll upset him more.
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.
Lil PINO
Little Pino Grigio Trump, folks, with his tiny little hands and, some are even saying, a tiny warped little mind

He apparently really hated the "President Musk" comments.
Presidential secretary
FFF: Fuck Face F'elon
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.
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.
The two claimed to have uncovered government fraud but provided no evidence.
the fraud is being committed right now.... by them
projection 🌎👨🚀🔫👨🚀
the the claim holds!
I don't know if I'd call Musk's dress casual. He's reminiscent of an SS officer.
Until maga caps, it was considered very rude to wear a ballcap to an event where others are in a suit and tie.
My parents would flip their shit if I had a ballcap on at the dinner table at home.
God, the President looks like an asshole who would wear a baseball cap in an Olive Garden…Trump doesn’t look so happy either.
What’s the issue with caps? I wear a cap literally everywhere I go.
You gotta look nice at Olive garden? I always roll up there in my regular clothes, including a hat lol
I have to save up to eat of Olive Garden. I used to eat at Arby’s before they changed the cheese sauce.
Picture shown: one weird unelected president, one child picking their nose, one child shitting themselves
I thought the one child was trying to block the smell coming from the diaper of the other child.
You think Olive Garden is too fancy for a baseball hat? XD
If all you eat is McDonalds, Olive Garden must be like The French Laundry.

Musk is so fucking disgusting. Bringing his kid around as a human shield too is a new low.
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.
You could try installing UnPaywall or 12ft Free (if on Edge or Chrome), or Bypass Paywalls Clean on Firefox/Fennec/etc. These bypass paywalls. I also suggest uBlock Origin with all filters enabled.
I get a popup wanting me to subscribe, saying "Unlock article for $29."
You may have an ad blocker that shuts down the pop-up
It works fine for me on Android using Fennec. What are you using?

Just following the Curtis Yarvin playbook:
Trump will be monitoring this CEO’s performance, again on TV, and can fire him if need be.

Maybe Trump will get angry enough to fabricate a way to have him executed and take his money. Rich people lol.
