“He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terrible. People hate him,” an anonymous source close to the Republican Party told Politico. “He’d go to Wisconsin thinking he can buy people’s votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old. … It doesn’t work. It’s offensive to people.”

    I believe it’s a media tactic to publish stories like that, Trump’s bromance with Musk is sour, Trump not happy with Netanyahu, Trump angry with Putin. All these stories serve the purpose that Trump can show growth. In reality, neither Trump or Musk care.

      Yeah in this thumbnail image it looks like Musk is holding back a smile as if it’s all a setup to dupe the masses.

    I supported DOGE’s mission to cut federal spending and honestly I think DOGE was the last chance to save our Republic. The fact is the USA is a late-stage Republic and with every multi-trillion dollar spending bill we are witnessing the end of the Republic. Trump’s “big beautiful bill” is going to cost 3.8 trillion dollars. Remember the COVID inflation? It’s about to get even worse than that. Every new spending bill is bigger than the last, and pushes us deeper into the death spiral of hyperinflation. We are following in the same footsteps of every failed Republic before us. The Romans debased their currency, the Weimar Republic tried to print their way out. We are next.

    I see a lot of left-wingers comparing this administration to Palpatine in star wars. What if I told you DOGE was the last effort to avoid a Palpatine scenario?

    There are too many cronies in Washington DC. Too many entitled people who think they deserve wealth and power, who stuff our spending bills full of pork. The spending will be cut, but we had a choice. We could choose to cut spending willingly and preserve the current system, or we could go full steam ahead into hyperinflation and destroy the system, resulting in the collapse of the dollar. DOGE wanted the fed to cut spending willingly. Musk wanted to preserve the system. Now we will realize the alternative.
