Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.
“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.
“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added.
Trump also said he has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk after a feud between the two men erupted into public view earlier this week.
Sometimes I think about how if any previous president had done, over the course of their entire career, the things Trump does in the average week, or sometimes even just a single day, it would have immediately ended their career. If a previous president had openly stated that if a specific person funded their rivals there would be serious consequences, that’d be it. They’d be done. Impeached on the spot, out of office, blacklisted by their own party, and shamed for all of history.
The news cycle crucified Obama for wearing a tan suit. They raked him over the coals because he was so out of touch that he asked a burger place if they had Dijon mustard. What do you think they’d have done if he openly promised retribution against those who dared disagree with him like this?
And Donald motherfucking Trump does this crap all the godamn time, and he just gets away with it because the Republicans like that it’s their tyrant, the Democrats are afraid of actually doing anything, and by the time the public can mobilize against one thing he’s already done three more things that make the past look trivial.
They spent years saying that Obama was going to declare martial law and end elections.
Then, Trump supporters literally stage a coup and there are no consequences. They made Carter give up his peanut farm, but Trump can keep all of his shady illegal businesses?
Stop taking them seriously. Stop meeting them in the middle. Pacification and reaching across the isle is over (not that they ever participated in it), and they’ve dropped any pretense of believing in the constitution; that was only ever a political expediency to keep the left in check. Start demanding real changes with teeth, and if they whine, well, piss on em, those dumb fucks want Donald Trump to be king, who gives two fucks what those jerkoffs think?
I don’t get it either. And the only thing I’ve come to conclude is that I should hold those in my life who in any way provided support for Trump or to what led us here accountable. I don’t know what that fully means either. Just that they’ll be hearing from me that which should be directed at the president or others, but because they won’t ever do it themselves they’ll get it from me. Kick me out of your life then. On these grounds. They’ve already made their choices anyway.
The DNC leadership isn’t afraid. The DNC leadership is doing exactly what it’s paid to do.
Walz, AOC, Bernie? They are the real threat to the billionaires. I think it was MLK Jr who said that the greatest evil in America isn’t a single side - it’s the moderate. It’s someone who doesn’t actually care. The DNC is entirely and purposely made up of “moderates” to kneecap it. Any attempts to remove that moderate makeup get rejected.
It’s controlled opposition. It’s how tyranny thrives in the modern age. Make your opponent look weak, ineffective, but with people you control, so they don’t happen to make any changes should they get any piece of legitimate power.
