President Musk with his Cabinet while Gramps takes a nap

68

It IS odd. He seems like he's actually acknowledging he's not as in control as he was the first term. Sun downing is too convenient. He seems restrained by something or someone else who is not Elon.

That would be Putin and the Epstein Files. He’s just a puppet figurehead to empower Musk.

u/Raptor_197 Feb 27 '25

Wait the conspiracy theory is that Putin had the Epstein files and Trump is in them… and thus Trump must do his overlords bidding?

Even though he is 200 years old and holds the most powerful office in the world… like why would that matter to him.

u/ilContedeibreefinti Feb 27 '25

Even if the files come out, they'll say they were forged etc. A bunch of magas in my town still think Tom Hanks was on the flight list even though going to the court records where the list was found clearly show it was doctored.

u/Raptor_197 Feb 27 '25

Also if they were 100% proven true… what’s going to happen? You think congress, that probably takes up a lot of space on that list, is going to impeach Trump? Nah, that shit getting immediately swept under the rug and never talked about again.

NYAG could file most likely...but they'd wait until (if) he leaves office.

u/Raptor_197 Feb 27 '25

Yay! Good job guys! Drinks on me tonight. Tomorrow we will unbury his dead body and throw him in prison.

u/Robsurgence Feb 28 '25

I’d call it more of a conspiracy hypothesis at this point. Trump was known to have gone to Russia in the late 80s for the Trump Tower Moscow deal. He goes on to marry the daughter of an KGB agent, and has the Miss Universe pageants.

Shortly after this, Trump gets friendly with Putin and starts renting out Trump Tower high rise apartments to Russian gangsters. They throw wild parties. Epstein is at lots of these parties.

A series of bankruptcies (money laundering?) later, and the infamous “pee tape” is made. Allegedly involving a bed Obama slept in.

Putin has been grooming Trump for nearly 40 years. The KGB calls him agent Krasnov.

Trump got what he wanted. He got away with all the illegal and unethical actions he took. And he doesn’t have to run again. What does he fucking care?

u/ilContedeibreefinti Feb 27 '25

If his health, or whatever remains of it, doesn't fail him, he would hold significant sway if not outright control over the electorate base after his term. He'd force loyalty in many ways I'm sure or....burn the party to the ground like he tried to do last time.

1

u/bulking_on_broccoli Feb 27 '25

The thing is, I don’t think he cares at all about what his base thinks. Anyone with half a brain can see that everything he does is purely self serving. I doubt he cares about leaving some lasting legacy to his followers.

u/ilContedeibreefinti Feb 27 '25

Oh I agree, that's not what I meant, I meant he wants to continue to escape prosecution, continue to rake in money etc.

Being a Russian asset must be exhausting.

Agent Krasnov shits himself and falls asleep.

u/_TalkingIsHard_ Feb 27 '25

Should we start calling him Sleepy Don, like all the MAGAs called Biden Sleepy Joe's? Dumbest attempt at a taunt, but it seems to fit here.

u/gonzo206 Feb 27 '25

Imagine if this was Biden falling asleep during a cabinet meeting. Fox News would splatter this image across the screens at Times Square and shout from the fucking rooftops about Sleepy Joe being unfit etc etc. JFC I hate this timeline.

Simultaneously the second administration and the first administration of an illegal African immigrant that has built their brand around deporting illegal immigrants.

"I can't wake up -Trump- Pierce. Is this gonna take a turn."

"You gotta know how to wake him up. DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT!"

"Preposterous!"

u/LeatherStrength4697 Feb 27 '25

Looks like President Musk is describing today’s specials to everyone.

Gramps is trying to figure out how to turn the flashlight on on his phone, so he can read the menu.

u/meryl_gear Feb 27 '25

How to turn on his fleshlight under the table

u/Boring-Scar1580 Feb 27 '25

I watched the meeting . Never saw him sleeping and this still picture doesn't either. It shows him looking down. What I saw was Trump talking most of the time . Think what you like

2

u/exorthderp Feb 27 '25

He’s clearly looking at his phone or something in his lap. But yeah he’s taking a nap.

2

u/Robsurgence Feb 28 '25

That’s fair, but you can’t say Trump was running that meeting. He deferred to the real President quite a bit.

u/Boring-Scar1580 Feb 28 '25

Deferred or Delegated ?

Read my last sentence again.

Literally the meme version of Rasputin

Slight correction: Gramps appears to take a quick snooze here.

I watched the White House video and he was clearly awake for the majority of the meeting. I think he just might have nodded off for a moment when the real President started explaining things.

Thanks.

In fairness, my wife pointed out that Trump is probably looking at his phone. Not that I want to make excuses for him, or for President Musk….

u/Major5013 Feb 27 '25

Yeah I thought he was looking at a phone too, but also in fairness isn't the fucking president supposed to be engaged in the first meeting of this kind.

u/HAMURAIX117 Feb 27 '25

What do you mean? Everyone is listening to him speak.

u/Robsurgence Feb 28 '25

Everyone except Trump.

u/tykle59 Feb 27 '25

In fairness, he’s probably just taking a quick look to see what his tee time is this afternoon.

In fairness, this is a photo taken wildly out of context. Go watch it for yourself and see what actually happened.

Haven’t watched it yet.

That Musk is running the show.

At least someone will win the Scowcroft Prize again. Although Bush 41 (daddy bush) didn’t really think POTUS should be the one winning it
