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.

    All three of them have about the same level of intelligence and I’d trust the four year old more.

        There is a good liklihood he disowns Musk when he’s older. A couple of Musk’s kids already have.

          In a weird way, I almost feel bad for musk. He is a traitor to humanity. And he doesn’t even understand what that means.

    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

    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.

    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!

      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” 😁

      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 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.

      How about “Pinto” - President in name/title only?

      Since it’s vaguely related to Hispanic food, it’ll upset him more.

    Musk is so fucking disgusting. Bringing his kid around as a human shield too is a new low.

    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

    Can someone edit that image to have Musk holding a dog leash connected to a collar on Trump’s neck?
