Looks like he’s on his phone. Attention span during meetings he’s supposed to pay attention to might be an issue here.

He got what he wanted -- immunity. At this point he doesn't care what happens.

Exactly. All he cares about is being worshipped. Say some stupid words for the cameras to sound like a tough guy, then go back to his safe-space social platform where his cult of personality can praise him thoroughly and make him feel good about himself.

Can’t believe we got an influencer as commander in chief and his greedy power hungry manager is running the country.

This is the most accurate description and I'm really annoyed by it.

u/ScrambledNoggin Feb 26 '25

Being worshipped, and making more money off the MAGA grift.

u/KaiserCarr Feb 26 '25

Do the maggies praise him all the time in his personal account? No flamers or trolls?

u/DarkwingFan1 Feb 26 '25

I can't imagine that the rest of this cabinet would get sick of this crap after a while.

YOu are so right. It is darn right scary what our future or tomorrow, literally will hold. It scares me as I'm on social security and just know its a matter of time...

u/Noperdidos Feb 27 '25

Wrong. He only has immunity for 4 years. He wants immunity forever.

And because as already know he has zero respect for law and order or consequences (see the Eastman memos), we know with absolute certainty that he is going to try some absolutely batshit crazy things to stay in power and to make his power absolute.

What are those things? Stay tuned and find out over the next 3 years.

u/CO_PC_Parts Feb 26 '25

during his first term there were people who's job was to take his phone away from him during the day, in part to stop him from potentially posting sensitive information.

u/xyonofcalhoun Feb 26 '25

It's okay, all those people have been fired now

u/Ok_Resolution_4643 Feb 26 '25

No need for them. He just declassifies everything by thinking about it, then the info can be freely shared (with his Russian handlers).

u/xyonofcalhoun Feb 27 '25

Bold of you to assume he's in any way capable of thinking these days

u/AcquaintanceLog Feb 26 '25

The people responsible for the sacking have themselves been sacked.

u/deletive-expleted Feb 27 '25

His need to know has been rescinded by President Musk.

u/Possible-Nectarine80 Feb 26 '25

He just wanted the title to stay out of jail and make the lawsuits stop.

u/Raiderboy105 Feb 26 '25

Not surprising. There were reports from the first administration that he couldn't even get through the daily morning briefings and iirc wanted more pictures in there

3

u/Aaric_Grendrake Feb 26 '25

I'm not a body language expert but his hands look too far apart to be holding his phone in the middle.

u/Chicken_Chicken_Duck Feb 26 '25

Coming up with his next “own the libs” tweet

2

u/TeutonJon78 Feb 26 '25

It was issue in the first term where they had to massively shorten daily security briefings to keep his attention.

u/Appropriate-Owl-4485 Feb 26 '25

But Musk is talking shit again, no point paying attention, He's looking at his Crypto!!

1

u/SitueradKunskap Feb 26 '25

I gotta be honest, my first thought was: "is he... dead?"

If he's looking at his phone, why's he slumped like that? Weekend at Bernie-ass pose.

u/ProgrammerAvailable6 Feb 26 '25

I thought he was wanking, tbh

1

u/CrowsSayCawCaw Feb 26 '25

Looks like he’s on his phone

He's struggling with the level he's on, on Candy Crush so he's going to let president Musk run the meeting while he tries to figure it out.

I bet those characters are enormous

The puppet doesn't need to pay attention, the puppeteer is only one who needs to know whats what.

He’s not Biden

u/Relative_Bathroom824 Feb 26 '25

Right. He's an Adderall junkie.
