Donald Trump said he has "no choice" but to support electric vehicles thanks to Elon Musk's endorsement, but he prefers gas powered options.

    Translation: “give me enough money and I’ll promote whatever you want.”

    Most presidents at least pretended they couldn’t be bought.

        Turns out “playing 4D chess” is just MAGA politikese for “broadcasting our corruption loudly and assuming enough people are also either too corrupt, ignorant, or disaffected to do anything about it.”

        I can’t decide whether this pic or the photo of George W. Bush literally holding hands with the king of Saudi Arabia is worse. I mean, at least Goya doesn’t have people cut up with bone saws and they definitely had nothing to do with 9/11.

        I like to substitute Trump’s middle initial with a G instead of a J.

      Nah. Imo, this is him telling oil company that they need to step up and fully fund his requests for money “or else”. Didn’t he recently ask the oil industry for an insane amount of money at the beginning of his campaign or something?

          No, you’re right. But I think this is specifically a message to the oil industry.

        The best quo. Lots of smart people are saying it’s the best quo. The quid? Not so good. But the quo is good.

      Dude’s made a living selling his stupid face every opportunity he can to get attention, why would he let a little thing like presidential integrity get in the way? It certainly didn’t when he was actually president!
