What do they mean by might be
seriously.
Did no one pay attention to his first term?
Hes an emotional, hyper-reactionary infant throwing levers to provoke reactions and to punish those who dare do anything but praise the glorious kissableness of his orange painted ass.
Theres no deep thought to it.
There is no 4d interdimentional chess moves.
There is no thinking.
There is just a monkey throwing shit for his own amusement.
Just look at how he posed with that bullshit "hard" face for both his mug shot and for his stupid photo that we now have to see hanging everywhere in official buildings.
For that mug shot they should have mussed up his hair and otherwise thrown him off and then snap the photo and capture the true essence of the man-baby.
explains why he gets on so well with Elon.
another emotionally stunted perpetually edgy wannabe teenager.
Childhood Trauma and possibly a broken dick due to a botched penis implant if Azealia Banks is to be believed.
Musk is a misogynist. He convinces women to have children with him through IVF and they assume he'll look after them forever. He then withholds money to control them and manipulate them to his will, because that's the only way he can fuck a woman.
especially since everyone else in the whitehouse is long, long over dealing with Musk.
and because they are an insufferable asshole with no understanding of human emotions, often times their idea of funny is just being an asshole to others.
Ironically, he is the poster child for why we need widespread, free mental health care. He is, loathsome as it is to say, a victim of his childhood trauma. Now we all have to be too.
What about the "marxist" Kamala Harris? We were told if she got in there'd be an immediate downturn. The cope is just to say either Biden goofed up so hard that's why we are down OR it would have been worse under a democrat. This administration and its supporters have lots and lots of excuses.
Q: How do you know Trump is lying?
A: He opens his mouth.
What they mean is this:
"We spent a fortune to put this fuckin puppet in power, we had to work with every other sleezebag nation with the will to subvert democracy so we could get our golden-idol worshipped by the country's stupidest peasants so we could deregulate the whole world via force if necessary, but it turns out the clown is so stupid he's listening to the morons around him and not just our orders and now the market is crashing and the wrong people are profiting!"
