Netanyahu: “You can’t be president of the US last time I checked, but assume you are.” Elon Musk, interjected: “Not officially.” Netanyahu responded: “Not officially. OK, so you’re the unofficial president.”

We are headed toward a US constitutional crisis vastly bigger than Watergate

I am convinced that the best way to understand how the Trump admin is going to work is to look at the invasion of Iraq.
