Summary

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell criticized Donald Trump’s joint press conference with Elon Musk, calling it the “most powerless image” of a U.S. president.

Musk, dressed casually and accompanied by his young son, dominated the event, speaking more than Trump and even interrupting him.

O’Donnell suggested Musk overshadowed Trump, highlighting Trump’s dependence on the billionaire.

The two claimed to have uncovered government fraud but provided no evidence.

    God, the President looks like an asshole who would wear a baseball cap in an Olive Garden…Trump doesn’t look so happy either.

    All three of them have about the same level of intelligence and I’d trust the four year old more.

      And he probably isn’t evil yet. I say probably because I remember movies like The Omen.

        There is a good liklihood he disowns Musk when he’s older. A couple of Musk’s kids already have.

          In a weird way, I almost feel bad for musk. He is a traitor to humanity. And he doesn’t even understand what that means.

    If people want Elon out. This is the best way. Use him to insult trumps ego. He can’t handle it. His baby hands just won’t allow someone else to steal the thunder.

    Playground tactics is the only thing that works on Trump and the novo facists. Time to use their terminology against them - Donald Trump should now only be referred to as the Cuckold-in-Chief

    We need a pithy, demeaning nickname to sum this up, something that’ll really get under his thin skin. I’ll suggest PINO, “President In Name Only.” Open to suggestions tho!

    Musk is so fucking disgusting. Bringing his kid around as a human shield too is a new low.

    Wild that a toddler actively picking his nose is the most mature person in this picture

    This picture makes me think of a scene from Superman 2 where Zod is in the oval office and the president is sitting to address the nation, looking defeated. Maybe I’m misremembering. I’ll have to dig out my movie and see. Of course, Elon is no Zod, and Trump just looks lost. I’d bet the kid picking his nose has a higher IQ than the other 2 combined.
