Just to point out Elon is not an innovator. He has invented nothing. He bought companies from real innovators. Musk is not a patriot either. He has been doing his own business-based shuttle diplomacy with Ci unchecked for months. He pushed for the far fringe of Nazism in Germany. He has attacked our institutions with such zeal he has fired thousands and thousands he was not permitted to fire. Musk loves himself, not this country. He may like Trump, but Musk’s son repeated a comment he must have heard from his dad that Trump is not the real President.

Worse than not being a patriot…Musk is an immigrant who is against immigration. He is a Canadian citizen born in South Africa who thinks of himself as the unelected President. The vast majority of his wealth comes from government contracts, yet he opposes government spending, he can’t qualify for the security clearance because of his relationships with Russia and China, but he wants us to trust him with universal access to everything. Musk admitted before the election that if Trump didn’t win, he would end up in jail…how about we start pulling on that thread.

Trump's mental condition is much worse than that. Politicus readers should read "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump". I saw one of the psychiatrists (Lance Dodes, M.D.) who helped write this book interviewed and he called Trump a "psychopath." This book is a must read for anyone who desires to know just how sick this man is.

Expand full comment

I honestly tried to follow his "weave" when he was asked the "how are you helping veterans" question by the Argentine press. Impossible. He continued his NYT fake news rant and then went to tariffs, men in women's supports, judges who are terrible, to tariffs again, to the NYT story to Biden . . . it was too much. And the blather just kept COMING no matter what question Peter Doocey lobbed at him. The Oval Office is a sound stage.

Expand full comment

Absolutely. Whenever Donald’s lips are moving, 99% of words released are lies. I wish there was more reporters not afraid of his bullying bull shit. Please start treating him as the dispicable, sub human, con man he has shown himself to be. He has earned no respect and is only reluctantly tolerated abroad when necessary. Such an embarrassment for true Americans.

Expand full comment

Trump called on Fox's Peter Doocey for all but three (?) of the questions. Further, each one dealt with a separate dicey topic and allowed Trump the airtime to come at the T.V. audience with another reverso-lie. The entire event was scripted to cover his ass from the Elon-China War Games debacle and to deflect from his illegal and immoral actions.

That's what I mean by the Oval Office is a sound stage. Every event is scripted with lies produced by Trump for the viewing public. Consider MTG's "reporter" boyfriend asking the suit question to Zelenskyy to deflect from Trump's then still-hidden ardor for Putin. At least AP was there somehow. That's important because the smaller news market rely on it for national content. They have become persistent in getting the news and its implications out.

I completely agree. I believe Trump is as dangerous as Hitler, Mao, Mussolini, Weinstein, Diddy, OJ Simpson, all suffered the same personality disorder.

Krasnov has no Congressional majority, Judiciary pushing back, AOC and Bernie on tour, Dems going to Republican areas, and people yelling at Republican members to fight back.

I’ve been in a room with Trump once and I could not get out of there quick enough. You know when you just feel a really negative and icky energy? And he put himself right at the door of the 21 club so anybody leaving would have to talk to him. I mean, anybody important I left his girlfriend. Melania was staring at my date while Trump had his eyes on my chest. I’ve hated this guy since I was 16 years old when he left his family for Marla Maples. He’s never been a good person. I don’t understand how our country got this so wrong twice.

I can’t even look at him. I have to take days off in this resistance, if I’m going to make it four years. My parents are lifelong Democrats, salt of the earth, kind of folk, and they are both 90 and 91 and likely one of them will die with Trump still the president. That really affects me for some reason. They deserved better we all do.

My dad was a historian. He talked about WWII, Hitler and fascism for as long as I can remember. He revered the greatest generation. His proudest moment as an American was the day Obama was elected. I’m so glad he is not here to witness the horrific support, by half of the electorate, of who he would identify as our Hitler

Did you see the latest, Trump and his anti-DEI crackpots are erasing names and photographs of women and minorities in Arlington National Cemetery. Also they went after Enola Gay, because gay is in the name. And the latest is they were trying to delete sports icon Jackie Robinson and our Native Talkers who allowed us to have safe, secure privileged communications in WWII. I would guess all our WWI and WWII vets are rolling in their graves.

I can’t even express to you how much this bothers me. I just don’t understand the Democrats game plan – are they just waiting for the worst things to happen so they can win the midterm elections? How much will be ruined before this nation wakes up and realizes that they’ve been had? I never thought it would come to this. And RFK Junior talking about letting bird flu run rampant. And that’s what bothers me so much. They are doing so much that it makes it almost impossible for people like you and me to keep up with it. It’s just continual shock and R and I thought Trump would be bad, but I never thought it would be this bad. I would never have voted for him in 1 million years and I didn’t think he would get elected again. I’m starting to understand how he got elected and why and what the Democrats need to do. But first they need even a handful of Republicans to break with Trump policies. When they start ignoring Scotus, you know we are in trouble. Hang in there my friends I would prep for six months just in case. I hate to be the crazy person in the crowd but better safe than sorry. It’s looking wild right now. They are just warming up.

Your dad was a decent and good man. I’m married to a British guy and he said to me why is it so important to you that Obama is elected – and I told him let’s forget that he is a energetic, positive, inclusive individual – and remember what this means for the black community. It was an incredible moment and I hang onto that. We can be that again. I truly believe it – and we can put all those names back on the wall. We can write all of these wrongs. They are not permanent. We will not let that happen. We will take our nation back. We are far more powerful than we know... God bless your father. He sounds like a wonderful man.

In the mid 90s, I was a first-year associate and in Sparks when Trump and dregs walked in. The whole place slowly went silent, no fork clatter, nothing. A restaurant guy appeared, cupped Trump's elbow, and escorted him out. The biggest wig at my table said "Chump" and put a piece of red meat in his mouth as everyone else smiled and nodded. My intro to Trump.

I was in New York starting in 1993 until 2007 and it’s still my hometown :-) running into Trump was not hard. I had the displeasure in 1998. I think it was right when I was interviewed to be the personal assistant to Jeffrey Epstein I kid you not! It was down to me and the other girl who has been in the news. I’m so glad that never happened. You know when you live in New York you have a very dramatic life, especially in the 90s. I interviewed with Maxwell at her townhouse, which was completely gutted. I felt like I was being watched. But back to the Trump situation I was eating dinner with a friend at the 21 club when Trump walks in and he takes the table right at the door so anybody that leaves has to see and walk by him. And he was 6 feet away from me staring at my chest. I felt so uncomfortable . Melanie is looking at my date. We still talk about that moment. It was such a creepy thing. I felt such negative energy from this guy. I truly believe that New York Society shunning Trump caused him to want to show them up. I hope that New York City does not suffer too much under the Trump regime. I’m also worried about some of the people that spoke out against him. I hope my fears are wrong. But being in a room with him, that felt like I was in a room with someone with a black heart.

I follow business in China and Musk is well-hated. They seem not to like that he's so feckless, abrupt, and public. He seems embarassing. Jeff Bezos, on the other hand, is quite well-liked.
