    His hands are very close together, he’s looking between his hands and we know Trump is a social media junkie.

    Without the caption you would assume he’s sleeping because someone probably flipped through hundreds of frames of video to find the shot that looked the worst so they could post about it.

    Trump, if you’re to believe the rumors, uses stimulants and drinks a lot of caffeinated soda. He’s not falling asleep in the middle of the day.

    It’s worse, he’s letting an unelected man, the richest man in the world, who paid for his campaign, act as the leader while he reads Twitter.

    Him merely being asleep would be preferable over Musk being in the room. Incompetent and lazy leadership by Trump would be vastly better than his simply handing the reigns of power to an unelected non-American.

    That’s the messaging that needs to be happening. All this is going to do is make the blue team laugh and the red team think the blue team is ignorant.

    Meanwhile, Elon is taking a chainsaw to our entire government while we’re too busy trying to score points on the other team (who are the people we need to be allying with to protect the US).

      We know it has tiny hands, so at that distance, it can’t possibly operate a phone with both tiny hands. ^^

        You sound like you’re joking, but I’m honestly still trying to decide if there’s a phone the width of where his hands are…

            There’s something so funny about her mental picture of Musk handing the president of the United States an iPad to play with while he tries to seize power.

      I’m not suggesting people lie, but your messaging doesn’t have to be completely true to work. That’s how the red team got elected in the first place

        I’m not saying that lying and manipulation don’t work. I’m saying that we shouldn’t be on the team of the liars and manipulators.

          I clearly stated in the first half of my response that I wasn’t suggesting anyone do this, but the parent comment said saying something that’s not the truth will only achieve republicans thinking their opponents are ignorant and nothing else.

          This is demonstrably false. Anything pushed hard enough becomes the status quo. This is important to know even if all you want to do is fight back against it.
