    does it matter? 1) he wasn’t even elected 2) he’s already in power, so he doesn’t give a fuck about ratings 3) he’s not going to give up that power for anyone.

    Man, if Musk is tanking this hard, I am not sure he’s going to get re-elected.

    He doesn’t care about being popular or unpopular. He’s the king now, he can do whatever he wants.

      Oh idk, musk/zuck definitely have masculinity and self confidence issues. They have to buy their “man” card and seek approval from everyone. I think trump is similar, he’s melted down before over dumb shit.

    He doesn’t care what people think as long as he has power. He could steer a ship into rocks, sink and his die hard supporters would blame Biden/Obama or anyone else.

    If Trump thinks in ratings, spread the word that ever since this musk character got introduced the ratings for the old Trump character are plummeting. If Elon is in the picture there is no room left for an old deal making business guy and they should write him out of the script. Although I bet ratings would skyrocket on this show if they had an episode where the tension between Trump and musk boils over while they are isolated in a bunker stuck with each other. Talk about great TV!

            There’s dumb people all over. They’re not just here in America. Some people won’t see nuance or reason, but instead, what they want things to be.

    So does “tanking” mean being laid in front of a tank and run over multiple times?

    Because I can get behind this.

      Thing is that Bronzo the Clown looks like a cuck even to a redcap when you watch fElon and Hannity talking over him, or fElon and his kid in the WH doing more talking than Bronzo as he sits there looking like he’s sundowning.

      Assuming they get off their asses and vote this time. Also they need to learn their lesson and focus on a few issues and more on working class American economic issues and less on identity politics.

        America follows the course of Nazi Germany. The US had their Machtergreifung, and if they might get the next Democratic elections in (1949-1933)=16 years, after the Americans came in and stopped the Nazis. Oh, wait…

        How are they going to stop it? Republicans have been trying to stop elections since 2017, they’re not smart enough to figure out how. They couldn’t even figure out how to schedule a press conference about it at the four seasons.
