Trump humiliated in the ‘most powerless image ever’ of a U.S. president
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.
Picture shown: one weird unelected president, one child picking their nose, one child shitting themselves
I thought the one child was trying to block the smell coming from the diaper of the other child.
You think Olive Garden is too fancy for a baseball hat? XD
If all you eat is McDonalds, Olive Garden must be like The French Laundry.
No, he just looks like the type.
You gotta look nice at Olive garden? I always roll up there in my regular clothes, including a hat lol
I have to save up to eat of Olive Garden. I used to eat at Arby’s before they changed the cheese sauce.
What’s the issue with caps? I wear a cap literally everywhere I go.
I mean, it used to be considered disrespectful to sit down to eat without taking off your hat. I would eat with you while you wear a hat no problem, but I would take mine off.
Makes you wonder who said it was disrespectful and why. Like it literally makes no sense. Surely being comfortable is better than any slight it might be to others.
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.
children aren't born to be racist, hateful assholes. that's something they pick up later, like from parents who are also racist, hateful assholes.
The kids presence dramatically raised the average IQ in the room.
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
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.
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!
I suggest changing it slightly to POTUSITO - President of the United States In Title Only.
Has the added bonus of -ito being a diminutive suffix in Spanish, and probably many related languages, so afaik one could read it as "little POTUS" 😁
🎵POTUS-ito 🎵this is how we do it down in Puerto Rico
I will shout this one from the rooftops! It'll piss Trump off like no other.
POTUS-lite.
How about just 'Secretary Trump' or 'Elons secretary' it puts him in a lesser position and also plays on the fact that he's a raging mysoginist.
He apparently really hated the "President Musk" comments.
I like Pino, I do think we need to add to it and get him from many angles. I can't think of any that would piss him off enough. Something like Musk's personal assistant so his name doesn't even get mentioned.
Lil PINO
Little Pino Grigio Trump, folks, with his tiny little hands and, some are even saying, a tiny warped little mind
That hits right.
How about "Pinto" - President in name/title only?
Since it's vaguely related to Hispanic food, it'll upset him more.
FFF: Fuck Face F'elon

Musk is so fucking disgusting. Bringing his kid around as a human shield too is a new low.
Sitting quietly in the cuck chair while his owner rambles for hours about who knows what.
Did they SLAM him tough? It's all well and good to HUMILIATE him and make him POWERLESS... But if they don't SLAM him, was there really any progress? Any resistance? I don't think so.... \s \s \s
Cuck
Calling him the Cuckhold in Chief would be an insult to proud generation of cucks
Abbreviate it to CC.
Throw in a connection to his Russian connection to make it: CC Sputnik
Musk is the real president.
He needs to be deported. Only him.
Gitmo calling for musk. Could be a new '20' rock anthem
Wild that a toddler actively picking his nose is the most mature person in this picture
We are all being humiliated here
So is that the first kid ever caught picking their nose in the oval office beside the president?
I'd wager not. Lots of kids have visited the various presidents, and kids will pick their noses anywhere at any time. Posted publicly? Far fewer...
Aha! Here's one who didn't even have the decency to pick its OWN nose!

May I just draw your attention to how much better Obama relates to this child.
But did he flick or eat?
Can someone edit that image to have Musk holding a dog leash connected to a collar on Trump's neck?
It was probably edited out of the picture in the first place.
Great take designed for the audience of one. Hope Schmuck's lil bitch sees it and reacts as intended. We need the media and everyone to keep hyping this angle if we're ever going to get musk out of there.
Just following the Curtis Yarvin playbook:

Maybe Trump will get angry enough to fabricate a way to have him executed and take his money. Rich people lol.
"President Musk, seen here with his husband and Commander-in-Chief, Elon Musk..."
Taint Maid Trump
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.
Low t
I don't know if I'd call Musk's dress casual. He's reminiscent of an SS officer.
Until maga caps, it was considered very rude to wear a ballcap to an event where others are in a suit and tie.
My parents would flip their shit if I had a ballcap on at the dinner table at home.

The Daily Beast is trash and this is clickbait.
Squid Game in real life where Trump is the Frontman.

I feel really stupid for asking this, but it's recurring problem so I'm exposing my weaknesses.
Whenever I go to the daily beast to read an article, all I ever see is a headline and a picture. I have tried clicking around and I have absolutely no clue as to how to read an article on the daily beast.
If any of you young whipper snappers would have mercy on an old fart, I would appreciate it.
I get a popup wanting me to subscribe, saying "Unlock article for $29."
You may have an ad blocker that shuts down the pop-up
It works fine for me on Android using Fennec. What are you using?
You could try installing UnPaywall or 12ft Free (if on Edge or Chrome), or Bypass Paywalls Clean on Firefox/Fennec/etc. These bypass paywalls. I also suggest uBlock Origin with all filters enabled.
Assistant to the presidential Muskager. Terrible but it popped in my head
Where's the article? All I see is an image
Getting worked up about imagined shit like this is why the Republicans will win the next election as well.
Focus your energy on something... anything else that isn't wasted immature energy.
You will only win again when you start to recognize what is important.
Out grow your brainwashing and start seeing reality guys
What next election?
