Anyone getting the nagging feeling that eLoon is teeing himself up to be a Presidential candidate in the future?

I don't think his ego has any bounds although pesky things like laws and the Constitution would be awfully irritating to him. And at the rate he procreates he could get pushed over the top just by his family members alone. Assuming he doesn't alienate them all between now and then.

But he’s a very sick boy. He’s paying people to come to his rallies, one way or another, sometimes with cash.

has a certain" charisma" that MAGA likes. He is able to connect with his followers in a way that others have not.
trump truly believes that he has been " treated very badly and things have not been fair to him" - even though he was born with a gold spoon in his mouth, flies around in a private jet and shits on a golden toilet. His grievance is real, as opposed to the pretend grievance of others. Eloon cannot replicate that. He doesn't present well when speaking. He has as much personality as Vance and DeSantis.

Now, I happen to think he doesn't want to be president, he wants to be the number one oligarch. He wants to be the one pulling the strings and reaping the profits, not the one on tv every day.

But if Donnie wins, the constitution is effectively trash. They will do whatever they want, and if they decide musk should succeed Donnie, they're not going to let the constitution stop them.

It should be obvious by now they believe rules don't apply to them.
