Is America better off being run by an Adderall user (Donald J. Trump) and a Ketamine user with ADHD (Elon Musk) who is effectively an unelected bureaucrat (the thing that the current right wing rails against)? If not, what actions will be taken to change that and alter the current outcome?

I sort of wonder how long until President Trump offers troops to help Russia take Ukraine (or some similar nonsense)? This question is due to Trump love for "strong men" and his strange obsession with/for Putin (given that Trump parrots Russian propaganda).

Watching these strange government firings that we are witnessing (presuming you are not a target for this), I have to ask: do we have some sort of software (or hardware) automation to replace the humans performing these jobs and services (perhaps at a lower cost)?

Are we (in America) just doing Project 2025 for the first 100 days or are there other random things they (Trump/Musk) want (for whatever self-serving reason) at whim? Wasn't there some outrage by conservatives and Trump voters about unelected bureaucrats (eg. Musk)? Irony?

I sort of wonder, if you promote Measles (Rubeola) and associate it with MAGA, will that result in more people in the MAGA movement trying to get Measles (Rubeola)? Could we do this with other known diseases that we have vaccines for (and used to have knowledge on)?

Perhaps a stupid question but how were the funds appropriated and allocated for these government buyouts and layoffs, given that Congress controls the budget. When Elon (and Trump) do the layoffs/firings, was the money actually allocated or are any claims on funds for this erroneous?

How long will it take for the Trump/Musk move to burn down Red states (those constituents that voted for Trump)? Given that Elon/DOGE probably don't know COBOL (much less legacy government systems), how long until the impact starts causing severe damage (high financial/political cost)?

Given all the talk about drugs coming into the U.S. (by President Trump. in both terms), could either Trump or Musk pass either a blood or urine screen for amphetamines? Both parties are known users, could they pass under the terms of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) or has this been waved?

Probably more curiosity than anything else, what is the world perception of a country led by a recently convicted felon and currently being run by known 2 amphetamine addicts (Trump, Musk)? Does this help or hinder the perception of the country going forward for the next couple of years?

So the Trump Administration (and presumable Elon Musk) has move to cut thousands of government positions (did we go through this the last time he was in office, to some degree?), what will replace said people/services that are impacted? bit.ly/41eM3nA

So apparently Trump wants to roll back the clock to the 1870s... not sure what the gain would be here. Any ideas on this?

3 weeks into the new Trump administration and the Heritage Foundations Project47, first 100 days plan, not sure what the long term damage will be but here we are. I suspect that Trump will still be a felon when this ends, as in the NY appeals process is slow and he probably won't succeed.

So let's see... the FAA doesn't have FAA Administrator ('cuz Elon Musk got rid of him, something about rockets) and we have had at least 2 major plane crashes in 2 weeks, Trump is hitting Canada, Mexico, China and apparently the EU with tariffs (effectively paid for by US importers/consumers).

Why hasn't anyone as yet asked President Trump what is the process for adding a new state or territory to the United States (given his talk about Canada and Greenland)? If he could even answer that question, then the follow up question: at what stage in the process are they?

Maybe it's just me but it appears that Trump really likes to say the words "millions" and "billions" (though not sure that the context is often appropriate).

Until Jan. 20 2025, Donald Trump can't enter Canada or the UK (there are 38 countries that restrict felons to enter). Will he be blocked from attending the G7 conference in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada in June due to his conviction? We have not faced this problem before.

So Trump wants to a implement tax on goods or services that are imported or exported between countries, but not sold or traded within the U.S.? How does he believe he will be able to enforce this if some of the nations are on a black list from even importing/exporting to the U.S.?
