https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/23/politics/president-musk-trump-analysis/index.html excerpt: "Delaware Sen. Chris Coons conjured up a scenario on “State of the Union” of Musk doubling the chaos that characterized Trump’s first term. “This is a predictor of what’s likely to happen. We’re not just going to have President-elect Trump as a billionaire rage-tweeting at 4 a.m. We’re going to have Elon Musk also injecting instability into how we tackle very complicated and important issues for our country,” he said."
Ronald Lauder - Wikipedia excerpt: "Lauder pitched the idea to Trump to buy Greenland in 2019 from Denmark. In the proposal he proposed to be the intermediary in the transaction which Denmark rejected. His involvement was first reported in a 2022 book The Divider by Peter Baker and his wife Susan Glasser.[50]"
Certification of Trump's win is at stake. Johnson allies urge Trump to intervene as messy speaker battle threatens to delay 2024 certification excerpt: "If we have some kind of protracted fight where we can’t elect a speaker — the speaker’s not elected; we’re not sworn in. And if we’re not sworn in, we can’t certify the election," Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital. "I would hope that President Trump would chime in and talk to those who are maybe a little hesitant, and say, ‘We’ve got to get going. We don’t have time.’"
Trump's busy fantasizing about commandeering Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. He's also preoccupied with unidentified drones and shooting them down. Also, Trump is upset that he didn't get his way with trying to abolish the debt ceiling. Trump's allies are blaming Speaker Johnson for it.
Kash Patel is the same as Trump. Patel has been having fantasies for years about getting even with his perceived enemies, evident in his writing of children's books about the throne being returned to 'King Donald' after supposedly being stolen from him. It looks like Patel will be the director of the FBI. He's been visiting Congress and shoring up support for himself.
It does seem flippant that Europe and other parts of the world are still depending on the U.S. to help protect themselves from the fascism that the U.S. has become. It's another 'fox guarding the hen house' situation. The U.S. hasn't been able to protect itself from the fascism into which it has sunken. The DOJ couldn't protect the U.S. from the fascism of Trump because frustration about elevated grocery prices tilted the 2024 election just enough to Trump who will control the DOJ that is part of the executive branch, not the judicial branch.
Special counsel Jack Smith and other people could end up in jail during a second Trump term. Kash Patel as FBI director and Pam Bondi as AG could make a best effort to dispose of him. Trump potentially could bump off Smith as part of official presidential action and claim presidential immunity. Or, like Trump often does (his riot at the Capitol), he could shield himself by having it done indirectly via channels outside the federal government where the evidence to convict Trump won't be allowed in court because Trump can claim that the bump-off plan involved official business at the White House and the Supreme Court ruled tha evidence related to such activity can't be used in criminal cases in other jurisdictions, such as at the state and local levels.
Trump's supporters can mock the concern as 'Trump derangement syndrome', but Trump has already behaved in such a manner during his riot at the Capitol when he hadn't yet been blessed with the U.S. Supreme Court granting him the protections of presidential immunity. Pence and members of Congress could have been killed. They barely made it to a less dangerous location in time. Trump dismissed the risk by saying Pence was protected by the Secret Service. The members of Congress and staff didn't have such protections. Even Pence with the help of the secret service was at risk of injury or death.
Trump rages at Biden for commuting 37 federal death penalty sentences which precluded Trump from aggressively pursuing them when he returns to office. Trump makes death penalty promise in raging response to Biden commuting sentences
I would have sooo much respect for these politicians if they just came out rightfully and told Mr Musk to go get bent!
Yes, but he is now the embodiment of the Deep State that people hate, but have no idea what it is. So now you do.
In service to President Trump and all decent, freedom-loving Americans, he and many other excellent people heading into the new administration are dedicated to dismantling the Deep State. Wake up.
Lol, you can't see that billionaires like those two have always been the deep state. Then who is it? Give us names and exact reasons why. I can tell you the answers for Trump and Musk.
The Democrat Party, the Republican Party before the MAGA faction arose, the Military Industrial Complex, the Pentagon, most of the 3 Letter Agencies, the legacy Media, the DC Swamp, all Globalist politicians and their donors and most of the wealthiest people worldwide. Some will be overhauled and cleaned up (such as the courts and 3-letter agencies). Others will have to be eradicated altogether. The dismantling of the Deep State is going to be the greatest and most difficult undertaking since the United States was founded. It is, as the name implies, deeply embedded.
Trump: “It Will Be the Policy of the United States That There Are Only Two Genders” excerpt: "Trump is in fact planning an executive order that would lead to the removal of all trans members of the U.S. military. According to the outlet, there are about 15,000 active service personnel in the military who are trans. Under this order, they would be deemed “unfit to serve” and, according to sources who spoke to London-based outlet The Times, would be medically discharged from service. Although it’s not totally clear how exactly Trump plans to “get transgender out” of schools, his previous comments about queer and trans rights in education offer some hints. When TIME magazine recently asked him whether he would repeal President Joe Biden’s trans-inclusive changes to Title IX, which he previously committed to doing, Trump replied that he would “look at it very closely.” These comments could also be a reference to Trump’s 2024 campaign platform, which included federal “Don’t Say Gay” policies limiting LGBTQ+ discussions in schools."
