    Not sure what you’re trying to say? That he didn’t make those threats, or he did but taking them at face value is wrong?

      It is little more than a distraction. The big news this week was that Musk nearly got the government shut down so that he could have a provision harmful to his foreign business removed from the bill. As a result, “President Musk” is trending, and Trump doesn’t like that.

        But with that logic, can’t you dismiss just about every stupid and/or outrageous statement Trump makes as a distraction for something else?

          He’s a Qanon Teddy Ruxpin. A parrot with Tourretes. His entire existence in this is to spout bullshit and take the body punches.

          Frankly, after worrying about the atrocities his administration will commit, I don’t have the capacity to worry about the nonsense that comes out of his mouth. I already spent 9 years being outraged about his words. I’ll save what’s left for his actions.
