    Hillariously, Trump claims that "He did not create this mess......", because, of course that he did. The first round of vote buying tax cuts that expired for the non-wealthy, while permanent for those above $1M/year. No one else did that, he did it and Congress stupidly agreed to it.

    Finally, someone for Trump to bully that's up to his weight (so to speak.)

    This is the natural consequence of running a country like a reality show. Trump wants his name first when they roll the credits, but accepts no responsibility for negative reviews.

    People who actually care about movies? If it's a good movie I often stay for the credits to see who was involved in it and, often, for the song credits. But I can see why no one would want to stay for the garbage movie that Trump and Musk just put out.

    In analogies, everyone stays for the credits.

    Steel industry is a good case in how little MAGA actually knows about just about any topic. The US is almost out of high quality iron ore, most primary iron in the US is coming from mining some low quality ore (taconite). It is much more expensive to mine and smelt than high-grade ores still found in other countries.

    2/3rds of US iron is now produced from recycled scrap iron.

    The jobs at the "big" steel mills from the past aren't coming back no matter how much we prop up the industry.

    So, did Elon just admit that he bought elections?

    For this one? Maga. We already know who the "actors" and the "directors" are.

    That was already known, now he’s just complaining about his return on investment, apparently not benefiting enough from the corruption and grift as he’d like…

    And once again, Trump publicly admits that he is, or is willing to be, criminally using the power of the federal government to punish political opponents.

    Amazing that this Trump criminal isn't in jail, or at least impeached or investigated for this flagrant admitted abuse of office.

    He has no actual sense of right and wrong. With Trump 'right'=something that benefits him and 'wrong'=something that doesn't benefit him. That is the core of his rotten soul.
