‘Unhappy’ Trump shaken by Musk briefing on secret China war plan
(www.thedailybeast.com)
Maybe he should appeal to Congress to impeach musk.
Du..u..wh...he's the fucking president.
False. Putin is president.
chairman of several countries.
president MUSK, should not have to listen to assistant TRUMP.
Why is Trump SO UPSET that our President would Want to be Briefed on War Plans?
what would president musk say, about TRUMP'S outburst?
Because he said that he wouldn't be in order to establish that he was in control, so when it comes out that he's not (which we all knew anyway) he looks weak and stupid. So he's issuing excuses, only he's a moron so the excuses make him look even less in control. But it's okay, he'll have nappy time in 5 minutes and forget about this and the American media will conveniently forget along with him.
Two of the biggest egos clashing? I did Nazi that coming.
Wait, it's it propaganda, or a leak? It can't be both
Elon Musk won’t receive secret China briefings, Trump says
demented rapist is not stable, nor a genius
Yeah, but 'lying liar lies some more' is not much of a headline, either. :P This really souldn't be surprising media organizations anymore.
I hope this is not news to anyone, but Trump does not give a fuck about conflicts of interest as was made abundantly clear by his first term. What he cares about is looking good; specifically in making sure that everyone remembers he is king dick of the universe and Musk is subordinate.
- He said he wouldn't include Musk in the briefing to establish that impression.
- Obviously he was lying and was going to include him anyway; oligarchs don't spend that kind of money without making sure they're getting value for it.
- Now he's making excuses for having done what he always intended to do so he can maintain the illusion that he is in control.
- But also he's a moron, so this excuse makes it look like he's not keeping his house in order, and any remotely media-literate adult can see through this shit clear as day.
Ohno, mom and dad are fighting agian
I mean, Trump can always see to it that Elon falls out a window. He got what he wanted from the guy right?
R voters would somehow blame Bill Gates. Trump is invincible for some goddamn reason.
Trump couldn't arrange a beer run in a goddamned frat house. The reverse is far more likely to be true.
He can just wait for an equine dose of ketamine to liquify Elon’s liver and kidneys. Rest in literal piss.
Liquidate Musk
This has to be fake. Since when does Trump care about conflicts of interest?
When the conflicts don't benefit him?
He's on Musk's payroll, conflicts of interest that benefit Musk do benefit Trump, so I think it's rather that he only cares when they make him look bad.
Just start up a signal chat. Make sure to include a journalist.
Softest president of all time.
