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.
This is brain dead. We live in a representative democracy. They’re supposed to be reflections of us. Public servants that carry out our will and nothing more.
If you think the US is any kind of meaningful definition of representative democracy then you don’t know what you’re talking about and shouldn’t be taken seriously when talking about these things.
Then enlighten me, what is it? We elect people to represent us, to vote in our favor. Not to rule over us with autonomy. Like I said, they are public servants, nothing more than DMV workers but with more responsibility.
It’s a fascist oligarchy masquerading as a democracy.
I mean currently, yes, that’s hard to argue with, but it wasn’t founded or made to be that way.
I guess I was focused on what America is supposed to be as a concept
Yeah, I get that. But what it’s supposed to be and what it is in reality are massively different.
You insult because your brain is dead. Take a moment. Read my comment again.
You sound like you want a dictator that rules as THEY see fit. Not for us.
