Elon Musk Is Ruining Trump’s Presidential Campaign

"SNIP.......

Joshua Green: “For years, Donald Trump has survived scandal, scorn and defeat and still managed to keep his warlord grip on the Republican Party. Even this month’s epic string of disasters, from his candidates’ losses in the midterms and his dinner with white supremacist Nick Fuentes and professed Hitler-fan Ye (Kanye West) to the tax fraud convictions of two of his companies, might not derail him.”

“But irrelevance might. In the critical weeks since his Nov. 16 campaign launch, the person who has dominated the right-wing attention economy isn’t Trump. It’s Elon Musk.”

“Musk didn’t just take over Trump’s favorite medium, Twitter. He seems to have done so for the explicit Trumpian purposes of striking back at his critics, ‘owning the libs,’ and stoking the sort of generalized chaos that was once Trump’s calling card, before he was banished from Twitter and took up exile in the empty wilderness of Truth Social. He’s succeeded on all fronts.”

Maybe Musk not only wants to turn Twitter from a multi-party town square into a silo so MAGA base is kept in a right wing bubble, maybe Musk is industrial trawler with a net twenty miles long to capture all the MAGA fishes and haul them away from Trump. He has been outrageous in his tweets. Is he trying to out trump Trump, crack his back, and hand MAGA over to De Santis? Picture another year of outrageous Twitter meme by Musk.

1. I have to wonder, though

Was there really much left to ruin in the first place?

I'm sitting in my Dr's office waiting to hopefully see him, for last time. 5 years cancer free.

6. Well, they DO say laughter is the best medicine, so.............

Maybe you can consider it a booster shot..............

By the way, there is a new Lebanese place in downtown Düsseldorf with a GREAT Shish Taouk. Mrs. DFW and I are rarely in town on the same day, but we met up today as we both had errands there, and so chanced upon this place. What a find! Düsseldorf's own Open Sesame!

7. So happy you found your very own "Open Sesame" close to home.

Maybe someday I'll have opportunity to try.
It is official, I am officially in remission! Woot.

And truly, I read your post and just started laughing! It was perfect for the wait. Thanks!!

4. Musk has replaced Trump

He's become the most relevant hated figure in the US.

5. +1

Seems, though, that the new one is as much in the service to pooptin as the last guy.

8. I thought Drumpf didn't need help but extra is all good.
