Summary

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell criticized Donald Trump’s joint press conference with Elon Musk, calling it the “most powerless image” of a U.S. president.

Musk, dressed casually and accompanied by his young son, dominated the event, speaking more than Trump and even interrupting him.

O’Donnell suggested Musk overshadowed Trump, highlighting Trump’s dependence on the billionaire.

The two claimed to have uncovered government fraud but provided no evidence.

    Great take designed for the audience of one. Hope Schmuck’s lil bitch sees it and reacts as intended. We need the media and everyone to keep hyping this angle if we’re ever going to get musk out of there.

    We need a pithy, demeaning nickname to sum this up, something that’ll really get under his thin skin. I’ll suggest PINO, “President In Name Only.” Open to suggestions tho!

    Playground tactics is the only thing that works on Trump and the novo facists. Time to use their terminology against them - Donald Trump should now only be referred to as the Cuckold-in-Chief

    Did they SLAM him tough? It’s all well and good to HUMILIATE him and make him POWERLESS… But if they don’t SLAM him, was there really any progress? Any resistance? I don’t think so… \s \s \s

    All three of them have about the same level of intelligence and I’d trust the four year old more.

      And he probably isn’t evil yet. I say probably because I remember movies like The Omen.

      Until maga caps, it was considered very rude to wear a ballcap to an event where others are in a suit and tie.

    If people want Elon out. This is the best way. Use him to insult trumps ego. He can’t handle it. His baby hands just won’t allow someone else to steal the thunder.

    I feel really stupid for asking this, but it’s recurring problem so I’m exposing my weaknesses.

    Whenever I go to the daily beast to read an article, all I ever see is a headline and a picture. I have tried clicking around and I have absolutely no clue as to how to read an article on the daily beast.

    If any of you young whipper snappers would have mercy on an old fart, I would appreciate it.
