[Attempting to document my thoughts about the insanity of the second Trump presidency, since I sincerely hope that my grandkids will not believe any of this ever happened.]
Florida Man, and Stable Genius Donald Trump has made some weird cabinet appointments this week, from the man he mocked mercilessly as “Lil’ Marco” and said he wouldn’t trust to run one of his smaller companies (Secretary of State), to dog-killer Kristi Noem as head of Homeland Security.
This one, however, while expected, may be the most insane yet.
I know a lot of people worship Elon Musk for his … well, I honestly don’t know for what. I guess, like with Trump, they believe the lie that he’s a good businessman – presumably because – like Trump – he bought a lot of businesses with Daddy’s money, and then largely let them run on their own while taking credit for them. The one business that he actually actively participated in – Twitter – is now worth about 20% of what it was worth when he took over, but, still, somehow, people think that he’s doing a job there. I guess it makes sense why Trump likes him. They’re practically the same person.
Trump seems to think that Musk’s genius is … firing people. So, Trump played a role on a TV show where he got to fire people, and here’s someone who does it IN REAL LIFE! That is quite the resumé, right?
