Chris Christie is often mocked by Donald Trump for his obesity, which is a bit like John Dillinger mocking Al Capone for being a crook. It doesn’t make a lot of sense. But Trump is tone deaf and completely blind to his own shortcomings. He can see the same defect that he has in other people but never in himself. Christie sees it all, however. He’s known Trump quite a long time and would have very likely been his vice president back in 2016 but for the fact that Jared Kushner quashed that idea. Kushner resented Christie for being the prosecutor who put his father away. The fact that Charles Kushner was guilty didn’t seem to affect Jared’s thoughts on the situation, which goes to show that obliviousness to reality is a Trump family trait.

We have indeed seen Trump become disillusioned with all the miracle workers in his circle over the years. This is nothing new. And if Elon Musk thinks that somehow he is exempt from ETTD, then he truly is foolish and he’s going to get a rude awakening.
Musk loves the attention and yes, that can be quite a drug. As Christie pointed out, having thousands of people chant his name is only something that happens to him when he’s with Trump and part of the macabre political scene of this day and age. Nobody lionizes Musk for his cars or rockets, only for his appearances alongside Trump and the fantasy world he’s spinning of massively reducing the national debt and spending, while simultaneously growing the military. This is the set up for the fall that is absolutely coming. It’s a when, not if, proposition.
I’m still mulling over Trump’s comment, “I’m safe” because Elon “wasn’t born here.” That sounds all too much like Trump has already made the decision to ignore the Constitution and stay in power somehow past the end of his term in 2028. But we are assured that this is merely Shavian wit and high comedy from the boorish Catskills comic level Trump.
All I know is that Trump is nothing if not consistent. If he’s talking about staying in power past the end of his term, it’s because he’s thinking about it. If all of his inner circle advisors have bitten the dust, then Musk will too. Trump is very predictable.
On the other hand, Musk is unique because of his massive wealth. That’s the wild card here. Nobody knows how that is going to play out. But temperamentally, Trump and Musk are very different. Musk is renowned for his “my way or the highway” level of doing business and Trump will talk one game and play another for practicality’s sake.
Trump is already uncomfortable with Musk. He’s already made cracks like, “I can’t get rid of him,” and Musk has no intention of going anywhere. In fact, he’s looking at a mansion in Palm Beach, so it is rumored, so he can be close to Trump.
This is going to be one interesting divorce when it finally happens. And Musk will not like the loss of the limelight. That’s a given. He’s tasted a level of attention that few mortals know and he’s hooked. That’s another wild card.
We are now the Germans of 1933. The difference is after he stole 2016…we saw his evil over and over, then VOTED FOR THIS POS…no excuses this time around. America is not what we’ve been BRAINWASHED to believe. We started by murder, pillaging, raping, land grabbing, enslaving, etc…and have been deluded into thinking we are a moral country. The mask has finally been ripped off. I guess we can thank Trump for that. Oh, like all countries run by murderous lying dictators, we’ll keep having elections…we just won’t be able to choose. I guess when your country is built on the edifice of HYPOCRISY…it was bound to collapse eventually. As the Chamber Brothers sang: time has come today. I’ve been loved and put aside. I’ve been crushed by the tumbling tide. My soul has been psychedelicized. There are things to be realized. Time has come today.
Trump will.keep him around if he needs the Muskrat’s money. And Donnie may need that cash to rebuild his fortune, which he has been hemorrhaging because while Trump.hates not being the Big Guy and Center of Attention 24/7 but he hates being broke with all.his money tied up.in properties and bills coming in.
