Trump is not in control [View all]

We've got it all wrong. He never had control of musk. I'd bet several digits that rancid toadstool doesn't know from one second to the next what musk is doing, but TSF SAYS he's giving the orders so he won't look weak. Musk played him and this country like a Stradivarius from the very beginning. This is not a time to "reign him in." It's a time to stop that fucking "we'll coup anyone we want" dictator in his fucking tracks. Arrest him and send HIS ass to Guantanamo.

Oh wait. That would require a policing body not in on the deal.
