      I kinda wish Elon was a Chinese agent and Trump was really a Russian agent. It would make more sense at least.

      But instead we have two people making the exact same decisions that a state agent would do to sabotage the US and it’s industries but it’s all because of their absolute incompetence instead. Which is far less exciting and far more pathetic.

        So you’re saying Trumps decisions are exactly the ones of a saboteur, but you don’t believe he is one, because he is incompetent?

        How “competent” do you have to be to be able to do, what someone tells you to do?
