Summary
Elon Musk’s team is reportedly gaining control over key U.S. government operations.
His Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) officials have clashed with Treasury staff over access to federal payment systems, which handle $6 trillion annually.
Reports indicate Musk aides have locked civil servants out of government databases and are reviewing tech operations across agencies.
Originally intended as an external advisory body, DOGE was instead integrated into the government by Trump’s executive order, giving Musk a direct role in federal operations.
Even if Trump doesn’t survive until then, and even if the best possible Democrat is able to become the next president, it will take decades to clean up Trump’s mess, and at least the same amount of time for the rest of the world to start trusting the USA and Americans again.
We hoped you’d have learned how much of a mistake Trump was the first time, and then you just go and make the same mistake again a few years later.
This is a mess of your own making, and you have to fix your own shit.
Until then, the rest of us will be out here using your example as a warning, and getting on with our lives.
Dude the US is never having another election again, that doesn’t involve having (1) candidate on the ballot, ala Russia.
Trump barely won the popular vote. So get off your high horse.
The fact he could shit the bed so fucking hard in his first term and then still get elected is a huge indictment on the USofA.
I agree that is a huge indictment of our electoral system. Which is garbage.
