    Honestly I thought this would be a slam dunk for Trump after the assassination photo, then he completely failed to capitalize on that, then I thought it would be a slam dunk for Harris, then she did absolutely nothing to make her likeable and got an endorsement from Cheney. How are both presidential candidates so bad at running for president

        The mask is peeling off, Musk is already blatantly bragging about being the "shadow president" behind Trump like its something to be proud of.

          Well he certainly isn't becoming president the regular way given that he's not a natural born citizen.

          So "shadow president" is the best he can possibly get.

          I just assume he's fully possessed by the ghost of Kissinger. He's got the inscrutable accent, bloodthirst, and Wormtongue bearing down already, so let's see what his take on Cambodia is.

            On the other hand Kissinger was a genuine strategic genius who orchestrated the downfall of the Soviet Union while Elon Musk can't tie his own shoes because it doesn't have AI booba

              Or literally just search the phrase "the myth of Henry Kissinger" and read any of the numerous pieces along those lines to understand that you have been snookered by propaganda.

      From what I understand, Trump actually got chilled by the attempt, right? Like he actually had to stop and think about the world and his place in it for the first time in his life. I don't know, I'm sorry to anthropomorphize a republican. I haven't really been following. But he's supposedly talented at reading the room, right?
