Trump humiliated in the ‘most powerless image ever’ of a U.S. president
2 years ago by MicroWave to c/politics
Summary
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell criticized Donald Trump’s joint press conference with Elon Musk, calling it the “most powerless image” of a U.S. president.
Musk, dressed casually and accompanied by his young son, dominated the event, speaking more than Trump and even interrupting him.
O’Donnell suggested Musk overshadowed Trump, highlighting Trump's dependence on the billionaire.
The two claimed to have uncovered government fraud but provided no evidence.
God, the President looks like an asshole who would wear a baseball cap in an Olive Garden…Trump doesn’t look so happy either.
You think Olive Garden is too fancy for a baseball hat? XD
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.
What’s the issue with caps? I wear a cap literally everywhere I go.
I mean, it used to be considered disrespectful to sit down to eat without taking off your hat. I would eat with you while you wear a hat no problem, but I would take mine off.
Makes you wonder who said it was disrespectful and why. Like it literally makes no sense. Surely being comfortable is better than any slight it might be to others.
All three of them have about the same level of intelligence and I'd trust the four year old more.
The kids presence dramatically raised the average IQ in the room.
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
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
POTUS-lite.
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.
He apparently really hated the "President Musk" comments.
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
That hits right.
How about "Pinto" - President in name/title only?
Since it's vaguely related to Hispanic food, it'll upset him more.
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!

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
Calling him the Cuckhold in Chief would be an insult to proud generation of cucks
Abbreviate it to CC.
Throw in a connection to his Russian connection to make it: CC Sputnik
Gitmo calling for musk. Could be a new '20' rock anthem
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.
But did he flick or eat?
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.
Just following the Curtis Yarvin playbook:
Trump will be monitoring this CEO’s performance, again on TV, and can fire him if need be.
"President Musk, seen here with his husband and Commander-in-Chief, Elon Musk..."
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.

Squid Game in real life where Trump is the Frontman.

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.
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?
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.
Where's the article? All I see is an image
Getting worked up about imagined shit like this is why the Republicans will win the next election as well.
Focus your energy on something... anything else that isn't wasted immature energy.
You will only win again when you start to recognize what is important.
Out grow your brainwashing and start seeing reality guys
