Summary

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell criticized Donald Trump’s Oval Office press conference with Elon Musk, calling it “the most powerless image of a president” ever.

Musk dominated the event—standing over Trump, speaking more words, and violating White House norms with his casual attire and child’s presence.

O’Donnell contrasted Musk’s influence with Trump’s past and present vice presidents, arguing that neither Mike Pence nor JD Vance would challenge Trump’s authority in such a manner.

    violating White House norms with his casual attire and child’s presence.

    He also had a 5 year old with him.

    Also, who wears a basebal cap and a T-shirt, and brings his four-year old who - like any four-year old - can’t shut the hell up in the oval office? I mean honestly, who is this guy? Just because he has money doesn’t give him the right to turn the presidency into a fucking daycare center. He could at least pretend to respect the institution a little bit…

      The 4 year old is nothing more than a meat shield. Remember how right after the CEO shooting, Elmo started carrying one of his brood with him?

        Like that would work in a country dominated by school shooters.

        I feel bad for the kid being spawned by Musk though.
