Trump can use Musk as a hate sponge. Lots of resentment about government cuts soaked up by Musk and then Trump ditches him. Trump will deny he knew what was happening (despite that clearly showing incompetence) and row back the most unpopular cuts.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

Trump is opposed to free trade because he is a bad businessman. Bad businessmen don’t want competition. They want to be in a position where they can’t fail! #trumptariffs

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

@maddow.msnbc.com coverage of Trump’s Oval Office meltdown is really great. “Who’s making us do this, and why, and for whose benefit?”

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine on Friday, a public confrontation unlike any seen between an American president and foreign leader in modern times. Here are key excerpts from the heated exchange.
