Instead of the news announcing him as "President" Trump, the news should now title him "Russian Asset Donald Trump".

This is exactly it. They’re walking Dunning Kruger machines - they consider themselves very clever so whenever they become aware of anything, they assume they’re either the first to do so or simply understand all of it cause they know none of the nuance. Musk is extremely, extremely like this.

The price gouging on generic usb phone c charge cables in the city of London is so extreme it's like it was devised by Martin Shrekli. 13x to 20x mark up.
