Not to say that Trump normally looks spry and youthful, of course, but that picture of him is the worst I can remember seeing him. I’m surprised they used it for an interview like this.
He’s got those black sleepy-joe eyes.
Please stop using Twitter.
I agree, but isn’t it fun that the Harris campaign is using Musk’s platform to counter Trump, and in this case Musk.
Didn’t Trump get famous for “firing” people on TV?
He also is notorious for skipping the bill on as much as he possibly can. A real charmer.
I was literally coming to the comments to say something similar. He’s the “You’re Fired!” guy how could anyone be surprised by this? He criticized the Biden administration for not firing people…
He likes firing people, but can’t seem to do it face-to-face it seems: https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/28/politics/donald-trump-firing-twitter/index.html
It all goes back to money in politics. First-past-the-post and Citizens United absolutely fucked us. FPTP gave us a MAXIMUM of two parties (both are “private” organizations that literally have non-democratic bylaws for their primaries) and Citizens United made massive political bribes into a legal form of free speech.
The cavernous power vacuum on the left caused by unchecked capitalism/corporatism (corporate personhood) caused all of the fiscal conservatives in the GOP to leave the circus and take over the DNC (look into the “Democratic Leadership Council” headed up by the Clintons and their right wing buddies). Now, we’re stuck with an extreme right wing vs. a bunch of old school Bob Dole right wingers like Chuck Schumer. As a leftist, it hurts so much to see the Overton window shift unnaturally toward fascism. We have “spirited” debate about things that wouldn’t even be a question in a society (equal rights for all people…like what the fuck. There’s only one answer that even remotely makes sense to non-sociopaths) that isn’t sick to the core with corruption. It hurts to be spat on and shamed by people that should be my allies (or in a different political party altogether) because I have the intellectual honesty to call out the DNC for their blatant corporatism. I always say: Obviously Trump is shit. It’s the power vacuum on the left that caused this shift toward radical right wing ideas becoming mainstream.
Here’s a favorite graphic to show how badly FPTP polarizes the US government:
It’s like a readymade promo for a guillotine retailer.
Is anyone really surprised? His tag line on his shit TV show was, “You’re fired!”.
“The leopards won’t fire my face.”
Trump’s out there making Sean O’Brien look more and more foolish every week.
In extreme capitalism, yes.
I don’t live there so I view trump and musk like evening entertainment, and for that purpose they are up for the job.
You need the village idiots for a laugh sometimes.
I know it’s hard to take pity on the US, but real people do suffer from the consequences of these monsters. Also, pretty much any cancer the US dreams up has a nasty habit of spreading elsewhere. Don’t assume you will stay forever safe from the tyranny abroad.
