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.
Also, who wears a basebal cap and a T-shirt, and brings his four-year old who - like any four-year old - can’t shut the hell up in the oval office? I mean honestly, who is this guy? Just because he has money doesn’t give him the right to turn the presidency into a fucking daycare center. He could at least pretend to respect the institution a little bit…
The 4 year old is nothing more than a meat shield. Remember how right after the CEO shooting, Elmo started carrying one of his brood with him?
🤔
At this point th presidency is meaningless and vomitous anyway. I don’t care if they just start wearing wife beaters and golf shorts - they truly can’t bring the position or country any lower.
Gonna stop you there, friend, and remind you that this is America. Yes it does.
I mean, he bought the presidency so….
