Trump addresses Elon Musk's growing political influence: 'He's not going to be president'
www.nbcnews.com

... "No, he's not going to be president, that I can tell you," Trump said. ...

Taking a step back here...

That Pres-elect Trump even feels he needs to make such a statement is telling of his weakness.


Donald Trump Responds to 'President Musk' Talk Growing (December 20, 2024)
www.newsweek.com

... President-elect Donald Trump's team has dismissed criticism regarding the influence of billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk amid spending bill negotiations.

Karoline Leavitt, Trump's incoming White House press secretary, told Business Insider: "As soon as President Trump released his official stance on the CR [continuing resolution], Republicans on Capitol Hill echoed his point of view. President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. Full stop." ...


Except, the Republicans didn't echo is view. They voted against him.

That aside, and getting back the the Pres Musk aspect ...

Two days ago, the Trump team seemed to be concerned about the influence of Mr Musk.

imo, interesting times are ahead.

@#6 ... The GQP has two daddies ... .that sounds awfully woke....

Maybe even more woke than you think.

One of those Daddies seems to be taking the usual Christian role of dominant husband in the relationship, with the other seeming to be castigated to the role of, I'll be kind, supporting actor.

My current question is --- how long will Pres-elect Trump allow this apparent humiliation of himself to continue?

...how long will Pres-elect Trump allow this apparent humiliation of himself to continue?

His brain is wired to block it. His brain is telling he is Charlemagne.

@#9 ... His brain is wired to block it. ...

I disagree.

My guess is that Pres-elect Trump realizes what is happening vis-à-vis Mr Musk.

Pres-elect Trump's recent comments indicate to me that he seems to understand what is happening (see #5 on this thread).

My guess is that Pres-elect Trump realizes what is happening vis--vis Mr Musk.

I guess we will find out soon enough. It's going to be a hoot one way or the other. We'll see how far Elon is from the bible on 20 Jan.

Picturing Elon and Donald slapping each other's hands away from the bible...

Picturing Elon and Donald slapping each other's hands away from the bible...

Like Melania slapping Lewzer's hands away from her? That was a classic.

#13 | Posted by REDIAL at 2024-12-22 08:36 PM

Musk may not slap his hands away.... just sayin'.

@#13 ... Like Melania slapping Lewzer's hands away from her? ...

OK, you got my got my curiosity up. I found this ...

And, if I may say, it is also interesting that my search engine of choice seems to know that the "Lewzer" appellation in your comment refers to Pres-elect Trump.

Steve Forbert - Make It All So Real (1979)
www.youtube.com

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
Take your seat in the table
Watch the cabaret fill
Ted came down for the singer
He saw the name on the bill

How the minutes were draggin', as the audience grew
Ted was growing impatient, as he swallowed his brew
"It's time to welcome the artist", he heard somebody say
Saw a face in the floodlight and ev'rything was ok....

Singer man, do your work
Sing your song
Make it hurt
Sing the tears
Sing the pain
Make it all so real

Then the singer was singing all his serious songs
And his band was a-playing;
Ted was hummin' along
Meanwhile back in a corner

There was a table for two
Where sat the singer's cute lover
And she was drinkin' a few
All snuggled up with a stranger
Who had his hand on her thigh

She was receivin' his message
And gazing into his eyes...
See upcoming pop shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

Make it hurt
Sing the tears
Sing the pain
Make it all so real

So the sound came a-rollin'
Tumblin' into the night
And all the people were ravin'
Saying, "Man our singer's alright!"

And "Such a burnin' performer!"
"What a fabulous show!"
Little lover was stirrin'
She was ready to go
And while the singer was wailing she got up to depart

The crowd was stompin' and cheering

She was breakin' his heart...

...

seems to know that the "Lewzer" appellation in your comment refers to Pres-elect Trump.

Not surprising. He's been Lewzer ever since he started pissing away his several hundred million dollar inheritance back in the '80s.

#17 | Posted by REDIAL at 2024-12-22 09:37 PM

@#17 ... He's been Lewzer ever since he started pissing away his several hundred million dollar inheritance back in the '80s. ...

Yeah.

That all was local news reporting here.

Here in the NYC media area,we have been subject to stories about Pres-elect Trump (then, citizen-Trump) for decades.

My aversion to Pres-elect Trump is not a recent thing.

I'll leave it at that.
