When I visited Nahunta, GA before the election, people told me they thought Trump was for them, not the elites. So we went back to see what they made of Elon Musk. It got heated

My uncle said, about trump, "Well he's a billionaire. You don't get to be a billionaire without being brilliant." I then said that you could be rich and just hire good accountants and lawyers without needing to be smart. And he said "no, not possible" which 🤷‍♂️

I love all these law and order Republicans who give the white guy a pass but a person of color would need to be put in jail. This shit heel will use every form of mental gymnastics in his support of the Fat Orange Man Baby and Co-President Special K.

Talk about a lit fuse! My main takeaway is MAGA's quick turn to rage. When the cognitive dissonance is pointed out, they just shut down & start screaming about the 'enemy'. I fear there is going to be serious political violence this summer, the vast majority perpetrated by MAGA.

It's fox news. My grandmother said the same thing. It took me over an hour to show her what a vaporware salesman is and how he lives off her tax dollars

The dude is a grade-A con artist who legit looks like a cartoon villain, but too many people have drank that MAGA/Dark MAGA Kool-Aid.

he mastered the investor pitch that so many tech bros have squeezed billions from VC without building. in this case the investment was a vote. when the people holding the keys to your $$$ don't understand things on a technical/fundamental level, you just have to get them to think you're a genius

He is not smart! He is smart in stealing money

I know a lot of super-smart people who have absolutely no sense, people skills, or business acumen. But even having all those things doesn't necessarily make someone qualified to run a country or make willy-nilly sweeping decisions with no forethought.
