Donald Trump's presidency is marred by a war breaking out between Elon Musk and the MAGA Republicans.

Musk is trying to prevent Trump from delivering on his political promise of closed borders โ€” but will Musk succeed?

Trump's presidency in meltdown before launch

@randahl

And they are not even in office yet ;)

@randahl

Musk is fighting MAGA and I'm 100% behind him.

Also, MAGA is fighting Musk and I'm 100% behind them.

Didn't Trump say fight! fight! fight!

@MichelPatrice it is the gladiator pit of leftist dreams!
@randahl
Great video. The characterization of trump as โ€œserial pandererโ€ works well. I think the submission chain goes trump < musk.
@djembro that was a term 4 different people here on Mastodon recommended โ€” democracy has spoken! ๐Ÿค—

@randahl trump is nothing but the dancing monkey. People concentrate on his bullshit and thus their attention is stolen. The decisions are made by other people.

They will keep him for as long as he's useful and does what they want. He'll be thrown away when he's stopped being useful, like a soaked-through grocery bag.

@randahl Sounds like a tempest in a teapot. Trump can never deliver on that promise. Milllions of business owners will come after him with pitchforks. He knows this through his own businesses. He can't run his businesses like Mar-a-Lago without immigrants.
@shuttersparks @randahl
but if you make laws against immigration, but you don't execute them, you get what you want: even cheaper immigrant labour, and "illegal" immigrants to hate.
it's a win win for the populist right.

@randahl

I don't see links to your social accounts in the description of the video ๐Ÿค”

@elCelio what a great idea! I was about to update the description today, so I will add the social links as well.

Thanks!

Update: Now added!

@randahl Trump will do what makes him the most money. He cares less about anything else so why would he keep any campaign promises to the group that helped him win?

It wasn't the billionaires, they had money to burn, but it was the voters. I will say this: United States citizens prefer him to a woman as president.

Maybe after three years of JD Vance as president will change their minds.

@randahl Nice video.

I don't know much about US politics but I feel MAGA public will take a walk. It is just how it works with anti-immigrant and deep nationalist public almost everywhere in modern times. Businesses want cheap labor, nations need human capital (and not just talents, some don't mind just a bit more or working population), politicians need votes and these xenophobic guys are only good for the latter - you rile them up, they vote for you then it doesn't quite work out, they remain offended and ready to mobilize by someone else when another politician needs a boost he can't get from more decent circles.

If Trump minded immigrants he wouldn't employ them himself over and over again - from hospitality and construction workers to Elon Musk.

@randahl Nun, wenn das der Fall ist, kรถnnen Kanada und Mexiko sie auch schlieรŸen. Wenn Migranten aus Mexiko mit Drogen in die USA einreisen, was tun die US-Grenzbeamten?
