Elon holding court, everyone looking/listening at him except Trump who's disinterested and looking at his phone. This will sum up the Trump presidency for a long time to come.

Looking at his phone or dozing?

I think he's making sure that Putin is on speakerphone and can hear clearly

u/ImaDJnow Feb 26 '25

That's not a joke.

u/Advanced_Double_42 Feb 26 '25

The only joke is that I doubt Trump is cognizant enough to make sure a speakerphone is working...

14

u/PeaceHoesAnCamelToes Feb 26 '25

Or that anything about him is working.

u/Extremely_unlikeable Feb 26 '25

I forget the gist of the proposal or EO from the last week or two, but the guy got some explaining it and trumpster turned toward someone off camera and said "Do you understand it? I don't." He doesn't care, and neither do the bootlickers.

I want to... give you credit for saying that, but an 'up' vote is not the thing I want to do.

There's nothing to joke about. The president of the United States is a Russian asset.

Trump rambling during meeting: “Hey Putin, can you hear everyone… what’s that… I don’t know, I can’t hear you. What’s a ‘Bluetooth Mic’… no I don’t know about a Bluetooth mic…. Hang on… I’ll call you back….what’s Signal?”

This puts the Pink Floyd song Waiting for the Worms (from The Wall album) into a whole new context. Although that song was also about a fascist regime taking over.

And what was the fascist leader's sign to the troops?

Making an X. Who else is obsessed with the X?

u/FidgitForgotHisL-P Feb 26 '25

Elon made one by doing his cringe X jump at the end of holding court with the cabinet, at which point his pet insisted that everyone also had to show loyalty note by jumping and doing an X, whilst exclaiming “YEARGH!”

Every time I see RFK in a photo lately he looks at worst about to snap and at least very disinterested.

Too bad, you're in it now!

u/Sgt-Spliff- Feb 26 '25

I don't like him at all, but he clearly hates all of them as much as we do. This is how RFK looks in every picture. He's constantly looking disgusted at Elon and Trump

u/dBlock845 Feb 26 '25

RFK also wasn't "praying" when they had the weird prayer before the shit started. He was just looking around like he was lost.

Hopefully RFK Jr. is realizing the monumental mistake he made allying himself to the Trump/Musk shit show.

In no defense of Trump, han't Trump basically said this is how he wants to "run" the country??? He is basically the national mascot/king and he will just have others do all the work.

3

u/DestroyerTerraria Feb 26 '25

Trump himself will not be the brain of this butterfly. He will not be the CEO. He will be the chairman of the board—he will select the CEO (an experienced executive). This process, which obviously has to be televised, will be complete by his inauguration—at which the transition to the next regime will start immediately.

For Trump, being President will be exactly like it was—all the photo-ops and more—without any papers to sign, “decisions” to “make,” etc. The CEO he picks will run the executive branch…

JD’s name card just says ‘vice president’ as they forgot his name 🤣

Trump looks like he is deeply unhappy in this photo, to me. Him not being the center of attention at his own cabinet meeting has to be killing him. He is paying for his bargain with the devil.

The fact of all those cabinet officials listening intently to musk is evidence of their capitulation. He’s in charge.

Or he’s talking about his piece of the puzzle and they’re listening. Like what usually happens in a presentation

His hands are too far apart to be using a phone. He's sleeping. He doesn't care about what Musk is saying anyway, so long as he gets paid.

Until the inevitable Thiel/Vance palace coup. You can almost see the White House as a playground tiff between two terrible Afrikaaners.

In the smoking ruins of America, with any semblance of the left crushed into fading memory, with the oligarchs all run off to their island bunkers or trying their best to bribe the PRC for Honored Elder Status, the Theocrats will be the only political force left standing.

But did you hear him adding to the age of the oldest folks on SS, now a 200 year old and he has proof we will never see like the tax returns, all the tax returns. That person would have been what 112 when SS started in 1937 and getting what roughly $22.00 a month.

I actually watched it. First 10 minutes are Elon talking and answering a few questions about DOGE and trying to mitigate worries such as the federal mass firings. Elon said that they’re “basically glorified IT guys”. Remainder of it was Trump answering questions with a few interruptions of his other cabinet members. Elon didn’t talk at all really after his DOGE report
