seriously.
Did no one pay attention to his first term?
Hes an emotional, hyper-reactionary infant throwing levers to provoke reactions and to punish those who dare do anything but praise the glorious kissableness of his orange painted ass.
Theres no deep thought to it.
There is no 4d interdimentional chess moves.
There is no thinking.
There is just a monkey throwing shit for his own amusement.
He has that extremely annoying teenage boy need to pretend to be a badass, due to a massive insecurity complex and constant fear.
The problem is he's an extremely entitled, privileged, and spoiled manchild whose daddy made him feel like he was worthless, and weak his entire childhood if he didn't act as if he wasn't a "Real Man," and a "Killer" in business. He's never matured emotionally beyond that. He has the mind of a frightened child.
And here we are, with him as the most powerful individual in the world. Fat Baby Jeebus help us.
Just look at how he posed with that bullshit "hard" face for both his mug shot and for his stupid photo that we now have to see hanging everywhere in official buildings.
For that mug shot they should have mussed up his hair and otherwise thrown him off and then snap the photo and capture the true essence of the man-baby.
explains why he gets on so well with Elon.
another emotionally stunted perpetually edgy wannabe teenager.
Childhood Trauma and possibly a broken dick due to a botched penis implant if Azealia Banks is to be believed.
The ruined dick isn't the problem. If he wasn't filthy rich, no woman would bang him due his repulsive, condescending, contemptuous personality. He was dumb enough to fire his PR team, then showed who he really was.
NO ONE likes him, except the young white boy DOGE "hackers" he pays to like him.
Musk is a misogynist. He convinces women to have children with him through IVF and they assume he'll look after them forever. He then withholds money to control them and manipulate them to his will, because that's the only way he can fuck a woman.

That honeymoon is about to over, ending in divorce.
There's no way that 2 manchildren that narcisssitic can share the spotlight. Musk will be evicted soon.
especially since everyone else in the whitehouse is long, long over dealing with Musk.
Yeah, that's what I've read.
Like the attention seeking narcissist he is, he tries to funny for attention. But because he's a psychopath who doesn't truly understand human behavior, he doesn't understand what is "funny," and he's insufferable.
I know some people like that.
and because they are an insufferable asshole with no understanding of human emotions, often times their idea of funny is just being an asshole to others.
Yep, these are the people who think cruelty is funny.
Ironically, he is the poster child for why we need widespread, free mental health care. He is, loathsome as it is to say, a victim of his childhood trauma. Now we all have to be too.
What about the "marxist" Kamala Harris? We were told if she got in there'd be an immediate downturn. The cope is just to say either Biden goofed up so hard that's why we are down OR it would have been worse under a democrat. This administration and its supporters have lots and lots of excuses.
Q: How do you know Trump is lying?
A: He opens his mouth.
What they mean is this:
"We spent a fortune to put this fuckin puppet in power, we had to work with every other sleezebag nation with the will to subvert democracy so we could get our golden-idol worshipped by the country's stupidest peasants so we could deregulate the whole world via force if necessary, but it turns out the clown is so stupid he's listening to the morons around him and not just our orders and now the market is crashing and the wrong people are profiting!"
Get loud you pricks.
He has concepts of a plan.
Does he know what a recession is? Genuinely asking. That would help understand this response.
If he does it was explained to him repeatedly through a TV with lots of pictures
His experience of the last couple of recessions has probably been:
- "The Markets, Politicians and Press do a lot of noise whilst poor and working people have to be squeezed even more whilst the Government makes sure rich people don't lose any wealth and at the end of it we the rich are making even more money than before"
I mean, all that it takes is to look at the changes in wealth of the top 1% of the population compared to the rest in the aftermath of the 2008 Crash.
From his point of view a recession is a good thing because it and subsequent measures by the Government and Central Bank makes him even more money than "normal" times. Sure, it's on the backs of the riff-raff, but who cares about the riff-raff when they're so easy to lead by the nose?!
Let me guess?
....but supported him because they wanted the tax cuts and any side effects of having monsters like the qons in charge they thought would pass them by...
No shit, Sherlock.
An insane man surrounded by amoral, self-serving handlers and white supremacists.
A callback to his healthcare reform- the man has the concepts of a plan. Somehow that doesn't deter his voters
Any day now...
So we're doing the 25th and then have tariffs on couches?
Why are they feeling this way quietly?
Because if they’re too loud Trump will hear and drag them to El Salvador.
Sounds about right.

He's not insane. He's an addled PoS narcissist.
