Trump Sure Seems Pissed at Elon Musk Over the Spending Bill | Donald Trump isn’t taking the “President Musk” rhetoric well at all - Lemmy

Reporters need to start asking trump how he likes working with such a wealthy person as Musk…

Their egos are too big to coexist

They should ask Trump if, while hanging around Musk, Trump has now seen how rich people live.
They should ask Vice President Trump if he enjoys working under “President Musk”

First Lady Trump*

Let him think the public (rightfully) sees him as Elon’s bitch.

Nah, unfair to women, and I’m not even the type to say that for a lot of things.

Let’s make Trump Elon’s First Lad.

First man Trump, although does it counts for the title if they’re not married?
Like Ilgar Rahimov for Putin?

Let’s make Trump Elon’s First Lad.

Now, now. We don’t need to. Trump’s already volunteered for the position.

Mr Vice President, what’s it like going from Putin’s bitch to Elon’s bitch?
I have also done a lot of drugs and made this face.

Lol it’s so easy to manipulate Trump into turning on people.
It’s lucky that Elon is the president and not Trump.

I think it was an YUGE step for Trump to admit he can’t do the job on his own. And, to let Rupert Murdoch and Vladmir make him let Elon have control could not have been easy. So kudos Don, for admitting you’re just not smart enough and needed help.

The greatest South African inserted Immigrant President of all time.

That fuckin dunce is never going to be smart enough to admit fault in anything. Dude could shit his pants and blame someone else in the room the next day, no problem.
I think he does shit his pants. MAGATs went through a phase of “real men wear diapers”.

We have audio of him clearly shitting his pants on camera

Like, why the fuck weren’t more people memeing with that?

This has been obvious from day 1 of the Trump and Musk show. Trump is an ego maniac and does not like other people taking the lime light.

Trump is predictable in that sense but then highly unpredictable as he turns to his next round of courtiers and sycophants.

Trump ought to get congress to pass the spending bill just to show Musk who’s boss.
I hope president Musk can keep his hired goon under control.
Good good let the hate flow through you.
Nothing in this article supports the headline directly. The last paragraph is. “There’s no telling just yet how much of a rift this has caused between the two men, as Musk seems to be a long-term fixture in Trump’s inner circle. But if this kind of public one-upping continues, who knows how long this bromance will last.”
It IS President Musk.
So, if musk does become speaker of the house, he also is 3rd in the line of succession.
He’s foreign born. He can’t legally be president… unless someone changes the US Constitution.

The Constitution has changed many times

…wikipedia.org/…/Article_Five_of_the_United_State…

But, now that presidents can not be charged for “official” acts, who knows?

Article Five of the United States Constitution - Wikipedia

When you’re a billionaire you just pay your $134 million and play a fossilized dumb shit like Donald Trump, no need to change the constitution.

Cater to his ego. Invite him to a very special interview on social media. All so you can futz around with the government to make even more money for yourself.

Again, no need to change the constitution. Just manipulate Trump instead.

These men will only be broken through their ego. I had a feeling this was coming, but I thought it would take longer.
Looks like we found (again) his weak spot. Take his power away, and he freaks out.
Also his head and neck are typically exposed.
And bright orange, like a target.

Oh, this is fantastic. A group of individualists will never function cooperatively

I’m optimistic that trump has built a pool of piranhas to jump into on January

Daily reminder that it’s always a good idea to tweet Trump with messages like “why aren’t your ideas as good as <insert scumbag here>?”

Get them in the habit of tearing each other apart and we can keep them occupied for most of the next 4y.

While I do want this to be true it doesn’t sound like he’s pissed more just damage control
Surely the leopard won’t eat my face!

We need people at every Trump event holding up giant signs that say “We ❤️ President Musk!” Line the streets leading to Mar-a-Lago with these signs!

Then rinse and repeat for every other shitheel that’s aligned with the Orange One.

8 years ago I’d have thought “Elon will step out of the limelight so he can use his white house access to make a ton of money.” Now, I know he’s just as narcissistic and stupid as Donald Trump is.
Something in him changed. Broke. Maybe all the drugs fucked him up. Idk. I used to look up to him. In the last say decade, I’ve condemned him. I’d love to see him flogged in public.

His origin story is that he bullied a kid so much for dead parents in his school that the kid eventually pushed Elon down the stairs and he swore to never be able to be picked on again.

He’s always been a villain he was just charismatic enough and pretended to be the good guy until the mask broke and he went full villain to try and put the mask back up.

I can’t even be excited for the awesome things some of his compaines are doing. The engineers ar Space X are doing amazing work but all I think about when I see it is Musk.
Unsurprisingly, this also works on Trump supporters. They get furious when you even go so far as accidentally and unintentionally imply that Musk’s opinion will influence Trump’s actions.
“We didn’t vote for Felon. Wait, ok, not that Felon”
Wait until JD Vance remove Trump using 25th amendment see how that blows their minds.

Trump

Who? Not ringing any bells.

Fight! Fight! Fight!
Every President needs a first fancy lad, Donnie.
An X-wife if you will.
How many Scaramuccis will elon last?
The president has a 4 year term
I mean, at the moment we’re still in the negative Scaramuccis, so there
“So I guess it goes from Putin to Musk to trump to the cleaner’s… right, Kent?”
