Summary
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell criticized Donald Trump’s Oval Office press conference with Elon Musk, calling it “the most powerless image of a president” ever.
Musk dominated the event—standing over Trump, speaking more words, and violating White House norms with his casual attire and child’s presence.
O’Donnell contrasted Musk’s influence with Trump’s past and present vice presidents, arguing that neither Mike Pence nor JD Vance would challenge Trump’s authority in such a manner.
Truth. This is more like having two Wormtongues trying to corrupt each other.
Wormtongue and Denethor, maybe.
Except, instead of having a crippling love for his son, this Denethor has a daughter he wants to fuck.
I don’t like this version of Middle Earth.
Denethor was a good man.
