A Simple Way Forward For Democrats

Trump is a Narcissist, he can't take orders, he has to micro-manage everything. It is killing him when people say that Musk is the real president.

Keep saying it.

It was Steve Bannon who guided trump through his first term. It was Bannon who backed populism, America First. Musk has flipped the script to America is for imperialism all over the world. The statement trump made about sending troops to Gaza and taking it over will not sit well with his unwashed Magats. Elon Musk has replaced Steve Bannon and I don't think that Trump likes it, but he is stuck, Musk takes his orders from Putin and Putin owns Trump.

Keep the narrative going that Musk is president, because really, he is.

We now have an ineffective president who has little control over the new prime minister. That's how it appears to me at the moment.

Because until we breakthrough the noise machine of Trump and his minions nothing else gets heard.

If Trump gets irritated he'll amplify the message--Elon is Really President--with his angry dissent on social media and aside comments to reporters.

Anything that throws sand in the gears and Trump's eyes is very good thing, IMHO.
