Look at Musk.
Phony hair.
Phony nose.
Phony chin.
Phony intentions.
Look at Trumpsters.
No brains.
No idea.
No clue.
The Clown Show just left the office Jan.20th. Let the Good Times Roll.
Did you watch this interview? Musk is a stone cold weirdo with his nose picking little kid running around. No transparency to anything they are doing. What a joke.
When joe gave a speech or interview he was pretty good at picking his snout.
The Doge website literally has nothing on it. And the federal budget is a public document already, you want to see where the money goes? Just take a look!!
You’re just jealous because your dad left you in the backseat of the car when visiting friends.
You shouldn’t talk about Anti’s dad that way.
Prices going up already inflation grows. Trump won’t and can’t stop it. He is to busy buying Gaza and making Greenland a state. What a freaking clown. Blaming Biden now is just punching down and is a weak excuse
Oh yeah don’t forget the gulf of America!
That was REALLY IMPORTANT
Musk has to go!!!!
FAGA!!!!
FukinAmericaGoodAgin
Social Security was never drying up, the democrats were stealing it. Theif Manager Musk
^^^Trumpster.
IQ of 23.
Can’t spell thief.
Democrats are not in charge Skippy. Wake up and wear your s h I t
Impeach President Musk and his little Bitch boy Trump
I think they are a couple of leather boys that the sniveling guy is into
I love the sound of my belt cracking sniveler’s ass…,,,
Trump all slumped over at the desk while Musk holds court standing behind him… who’s in charge here?
How about flags!! We need lots of them on our trucks it makes me a real American. Maybe these morons should take a look at American Flag etiquette.
What’s Trump approval rating?????????????????????????
What was biden’s approval raring??????????????????????
Biden isn’t President anymore. Those numbers on approval ratings are being manipulated by the Musk / Trump Deep State. Trump is a clown and Elon Musks bitch . Deal with it . Your about as smart as Trumps retarded youngest son
Joe destroyed America.
“I will bring food and gas prices down on my first day in office “
More BS lies! This clown doesn’t give a crap about working class Americans . His focus has been on weird distractions to keep his small minded minions distracted because they can’t think for themselves
When you’re on the losing team you’ll write anything………….
We learned from the MAGA playbook
Joe isn’t President you MAGA moron. Stop living in the past and you had better pay attention to your future
Here is the thing Trump controls both houses of Congress. He could get all this stuff done through the proper channels however he has chose non-transparency, chaos and threatening people. All I ever hear is a list of grievance with the guy not very presidential and now what makes it worse is he? He’s Elon Musk‘s bitch live with it. You MAGA retards. You look like Trumps retarded son with that cowish look on his face. He is not a king his is a tin pan dictator though.
I think what we all need to do is run around “Stop the Steal “ and put “F#%¥ Trump “ flags in front of our houses that will make me look SMART in a Bigley way. It worked for MAGA clowns
Do you think Trump uses a bit stick when President Musk bends him over the desk like that??
FAGA!!
Two pigs in a blanket.
Clown SHOW ….
TDS alive and well! Why you liberals are against fraud and abuse is a mystery. I think the liberals have fear as their strongest friend so the more fear they can muster the better they feel. Get over it!!!
^^^TDS has nothing to do with it you inbred hick. The fraud and abuse you talk about is about to go into warp speed with President Musk and his boy DJT in charge. Oh, and with CPFB abolished so are the interest rates on your credit cards about ready to increase with warp speed. But thank god tax rates for the rich will go down even more.
Wait??? You aren’t aware of these things??
Of course you aren’t, you drank the Trump Koolaid, and wont know what hit you until its too late.
Then you will cry out……”But President Trump, why, why me? Don’t you know I voted for you……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….”
Again, you reap what you sow you inbred hick.
