    Yeah so at first I thought that Putin brought trump, now it seems he just rented him, and now Elmo musk is paying the rent for full control.

    Cheeto is just a… What’s the word I’m looking for, a guy who rents out himself for money… Mmmmm…

    At first I thought Trump and Musk would end up turning on each other, fighting for the limelight.

    But it seems he has finally found his Hess instead.

        His role seems to be more like a prime minister, and in the absence of a constitutional framework he’s usurping any and all forms of control over the executive. It’s not uncommon for dictatorships to adopt nominally semi-presidential systems with a very weak head of state whose only role is to distract the people.

          I don’t disagree on a technical level, but I think it’s clear that Americans need it kept simple when it comes to politics.
