What should we make of the public disconnection between Trump and Musk that has blown up this past week? The most powerful politician on the planet splits with the richest man on the planet in what seems to be a car crash of an ending. He said this and he said that. Threats bordering on disembowelment. One has "X" and the other has the ironically named "Truth Social" - personal platforms for name-calling and abuse with the world looking in.
Personally, I don't believe a word of it. They are two such despicable humans that I would not put it past them to have engineered the entire shit show with some endgame agreed for the future. It appears that the world has been rocked by two unfunny clowns falling out but there may be more to this than meets the eye.
Musk suggests that Trump got up to no good when he was in Jeffrey Epstein's unsavoury circle but that would not shock us for we know Trump had a long history of immorality before entering The White House. And what was Musk's DOGE enterprise all about anyway? Certainly not about making life better for ordinary American citizens - that's for sure.
Surely, surely the immediate future of our planet cannot be swayed by the clashing of two cartoon figures - Beavis and Butthead. Surely, surely we are bigger and better than that and what has been going on is a mere charade planned by the two unlikable combatants who pride themselves on their cunning.
I think these too clowns are for real. They are completely out of control.
ReplyDeleteTwenty years from now, how will history remember these bigheads?
DeleteGood question.
DeleteThey're both idiots but idiots with an unconscionable amount of raw power over the world. And never underestimate despicable cartoon figures. Remember Adolf Hitler?
ReplyDeleteRemember when Popeye was the US president? He signed a presidential proclamation that US citizens should eat canned spinach every day.
DeleteIn my humble opinion, both of them are two self obsessed to create and stick to a long term plan. It looks like a simple case of Beavis and Butthead. Surely they can do less damage as independent twats than they can together?
ReplyDeleteOh, I am glad that Australians are familiar with the insult "twat". Fits those two perfectly.
DeleteBTW, that must have been an auto-not-correct because I do know the correct too to use!
DeleteIf that is a charade, then what are they hiding behind it? Even more atrocities to soon take place? It's worrying for sure.
ReplyDeleteHorror upon horror.
DeleteAs to the last paragraph, mostly it is the fault of the media bringing them to our attention. Well not being paranoid but because the media has been taken over by right-wing owners and we are being bedevilled by wretched untruths how would you propose we act?
ReplyDeleteI propose we should act by not emigrating to the USA or even holidaying there. It is changed from the wonderful country it once was.
DeleteIt's like two children scrapping in the playground. How America must weep.
ReplyDeletePolitics and leadership turned into a TV sitcom.
DeleteI just can't watch any of it any more.
ReplyDeleteWho do you want to win - Beavis or Butthead?
DeleteIt is a strong lesson for the world how fragile democracy can be as #47 and the Republican Party try to tear the country about, quash it precious institutions and break laws. Yes, we ought not forget behind #47 is a supporting political party, and he would be nothing without them.
ReplyDeleteThat "supporting" party is as brave as a wet dish cloth.
DeleteThey are both so childish I believe it all to be true. And drug-addled. Yet they are controlling our lives. I curse every single person who voted for Trump.
ReplyDeleteHow could they be hoodwinked like that? Such a mystery.
DeleteThe love affair between Tr*mp and Musk was a short-fused ticking time-bomb, which has finally gone off! Now Tr*mp wants to take away Musk's toys.
ReplyDelete"Mum! Donald's being nasty again! He just stole my plastic Tesla!"
Delete"No I didn't Elon! Besides - you just stole my bone spurs!"
Why don't we have a Yorkshire fall out? It might bring in more readers.
ReplyDeleteI could not be either of them. It would make me physically sick so you will have to be Trump and Arctic Fox will play Musk. I will be Bruce Springsteen.
DeletePeople underestimate Trump, he is impulsive, but shrewd, bombastic but smarter than expected. Musk - is either after more money - or he wanted to improve things. Maybe both. You have something he will never have, enough.
ReplyDeleteHow can a demented old man be "shrewd" David?
DeleteAt first I thought it was a show, but then Leon Skum said The Felon was a big part of the Epstein files, and suggested he be impeached .... two things that make The Felon crazier.
ReplyDeleteIf Trump could shoot someone dead on 5th Avenue and get away with it, being a proven member of Epstein's sexploitations is no big issue for him.
DeleteIt was inevitable from the start. Two little boys whose fathers were cruel to them.
ReplyDeleteYou are of course right Mary.
DeleteNot surprising they have fallen out, they are both supreme egotists. It's obvious that Trump will spend much of his time in office picking childish fights, if only to deflect from the fact that he isn't capable of governing the country.
ReplyDeleteHe is devoid of wisdom just as he is devoid of compassion and kindness.
DeleteHitler and Mussolini
ReplyDeleteLenin and Stalin
Saddam Hussein and the 1979 purge
The list goes on and on. We've got a front row seat to history repeating itself. I feel sick watching it.
If only their spat did not matter - I would have been happy to see them beating the shit out of each other.
DeleteThis whole Felon/Muskmelon drama is reality TV on steroids. I am heartsick at what his happening in my country.
ReplyDeleteThey are turning America into a cartoon.
DeleteMegalomaniacs gonna megalomaniac. Insert face palm here.
ReplyDeleteWhy couldn't Trump simply retire - like any normal guy of his age?
DeleteAnd now Beavis has called out the Marines in L.A.!
ReplyDeleteIt's so clear what his real intention is - to denigrate Gavin Newsom who is potentially The Democrats' best option for #48. To Trump - any collateral damage really doesn't matter.
DeleteI think they are both so juvenile and impetuous that this is a real conflict, playing out in real time. I don't believe they can think far enough ahead and strategically enough to coordinate this with any endgame in mind.
