With Elon Musk watching, Trump says he's giving DOGE even more power
Trump endorsed DOGE's work and declined to commit to seek congressional approval for the massive overhaul of federal agencies that he and Musk are pushing.
Why TF is Musk even behind the desk addressing the public?
The real question is why the fuck is Elon even in the picture
Because he's the president.
His role seems to be more like a prime minister, and in the absence of a constitutional framework he's usurping any and all forms of control over the executive. It's not uncommon for dictatorships to adopt nominally semi-presidential systems with a very weak head of state whose only role is to distract the people.
they are testing how much power does a president have without any legal or political checks and balances
Yeah so at first I thought that Putin brought trump, now it seems he just rented him, and now Elmo musk is paying the rent for full control.
Cheeto is just a... What's the word I'm looking for, a guy who rents out himself for money... Mmmmm...
His only goal was to stay out of prison. Now he's a rubber stamp.
At first I thought Trump and Musk would end up turning on each other, fighting for the limelight.
But it seems he has finally found his Hess instead.
