Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump.
It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

Trump campaigned on lowering prices “on day one.” But guess what — food and energy prices have actually INCREASED. This is raising new concerns about inflation.
If you’re surprised, you haven’t been paying attention. The bottom line: Trump doesn’t care about you.
