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.

    This picture makes me think of a scene from Superman 2 where Zod is in the oval office and the president is sitting to address the nation, looking defeated. Maybe I’m misremembering. I’ll have to dig out my movie and see. Of course, Elon is no Zod, and Trump just looks lost. I’d bet the kid picking his nose has a higher IQ than the other 2 combined.

    Wild that a toddler actively picking his nose is the most mature person in this picture

    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.
