Summary
Donald Trump mocked Time magazine after its latest cover depicted Elon Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk, questioning if the magazine was “still in business.”
While pretending indifference, the cover likely irritated him, as he was ecstatic just months ago when Time named him 2024 Person of the Year.
Speaking at the White House, Trump tried to dismiss the cover’s implications and praised Musk for uncovering “fraud and corruption.”
Despite his criticism, Trump has long craved Time’s approval, even displaying a fake cover of himself.
Fuck. I can totally envision him as a sadistic Jerry Springer type talk show host, deliberately egging on guests in the hopes they beat on each other. While he watches with one hand in his trowser pocket, discretely rubbing himself
Would have kept him distracted though, as long as they made sure to have pretty journalists from the celebrity beat always asking him softballs like how does he keep his hair so golden and his skin so bronze?
In all seriousness, though, he had floated the idea of running for office several times before, and even started in some kind of half-assed way. What I think finally really put him over the edge was Obama. It was really clear that donvict was just obsessed with him, and it drove him nuts to have a Bla in the White House. Just like so many other assholes just like him that watched Faux all the time…I bet his obsession with Obama will probably play a bit part in historical narratives about him - it was so evident in so many things, most especially how he was so butthurt over it that he sent Spicer out in that suit to scream how yooooge donvict’s crowd size was!
Melissa Mccarthy as Spicer still cracks me up. Attacking with the podium.
I do wonder if that’s what had him out in just a few Scarumuccis…the thought that donvict’s rep was being played by a gay woman must have made donvict just grind his teeth.
