I watched the cabinet meeting but never saw him sleeping. If anyone else wants to double check, I would appreciate it as i hated every minute of that idiot circle jerk.
He is checking his phone or playing flappy bird or something when the pic was taken.
playing flappy bird
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
It’s fucking weird that there are people in this comment section acting like Trump is a naughty schoolboy texting his crush under the desk.
He’s Trump. If he was shitposting it’d be on the table and any sycophant that had a problem with it would get told to shut up and get him a hamburger.
hamberder*
Yeah, that was kind of a layup.
Unless he’s talking to his FSB handler on his second phone and doesn’t want anyone to see
Why would he care? They’ve got their own.
The FSB handler that told gim to stop all aid and make an exception for ukraine?
That told him to unlilaterally break the missile treaties?
Is he in the room with us right now?Is your argument here that Trump couldn’t possibly be a Russian asset? Because I’ve got news for you, the evidence is pretty overwhelming that he is, at the very least, helping Putin with everything he needs.
I just gave you facts to the contrary, then simply show me your ‘evidence’
I just gave you facts to the contrary, then simply show me your ‘evidence’
Yeah, I think maybe you don’t know what the word “facts” actually means, because you did no such thing.
Have you tried, I don’t know, googling it?
Try adding “Krasnov” to your queries.
LOL Imagine being this confidently wrong .
I did give you 2 important decisions Trump made that were very hostile to Russia. Or do you want to deny this happened or that he during his first time already fully supported them 4 years long.
Maybe you do, there’s a possibility of you being ‘special’ in the head.Especially when I do Google what you have to offer as ‘facts’. Slop I normally wouldn’t waste time with and read:
“According to a Facebook post…”
“a former Soviet and Kazakh security official, claimed…”
"a rumor circulated online that… "You see, when they use these little words it means they pulled them from their ass and have nothing to back it up.
Exactly the opposite of a fact (a thing that is known or proved to be true.)
Only dumb or very gullible specimens would believe that, or worse double down on them.
I don’t waste time on them Like I don’t waste on those ‘articles’.
At best I ridicule them, then say goodbye.
So byeWhat a weird comment… FYI, the Krasnov thing is a very recent development, so it’s not confirmed.
But let’s not pretend that’s the only evidence. Clearly you have no interest in actually understanding this, as you’ve clearly already made up your mind before anyone was ever able to even present a case.
It’s undeniable that, at the very least, Trump’s actions are ALWAYS in line with Russia and Putin. Including decisions he’s made that have literally no possible explanation beyond that.
Why would his FSB handler talk to him on the phone if she were in the same room with him?
The optics of Musk addressing the room while Trump is disengaged are bad enough without simply making up things that are not there.
“Why is Elon Musk acting as the leader while Trump is disengaged” is a hard question for a reasonable person to deal with.
Saying “lol look at Trump sleeping” when that’s obviously not what is happening, makes you come off as unserious and casts doubt on anything you say in the future.
Spreading misleading lies is not the way to engage with the world. (To those of you that are people and not disinformation bots/agents)
How is it obvious that he isn’t sleeping? He looks like he’s sleeping. Without the caption I would assume he’s sleeping as well.
His hands are very close together, he’s looking between his hands and we know Trump is a social media junkie.
Without the caption you would assume he’s sleeping because someone probably flipped through hundreds of frames of video to find the shot that looked the worst so they could post about it.
Trump, if you’re to believe the rumors, uses stimulants and drinks a lot of caffeinated soda. He’s not falling asleep in the middle of the day.
It’s worse, he’s letting an unelected man, the richest man in the world, who paid for his campaign, act as the leader while he reads Twitter.
Him merely being asleep would be preferable over Musk being in the room. Incompetent and lazy leadership by Trump would be vastly better than his simply handing the reigns of power to an unelected non-American.
That’s the messaging that needs to be happening. All this is going to do is make the blue team laugh and the red team think the blue team is ignorant.
Meanwhile, Elon is taking a chainsaw to our entire government while we’re too busy trying to score points on the other team (who are the people we need to be allying with to protect the US).
His hands are very close together, he’s looking between his hands and we know Trump is a social media junkie.
We know it has tiny hands, so at that distance, it can’t possibly operate a phone with both tiny hands. ^^
You sound like you’re joking, but I’m honestly still trying to decide if there’s a phone the width of where his hands are…
Maybe it’s an iPad. He does kinda give iPad kid.
There’s something so funny about her mental picture of Musk handing the president of the United States an iPad to play with while he tries to seize power.
I’m not suggesting people lie, but your messaging doesn’t have to be completely true to work. That’s how the red team got elected in the first place
I’m not saying that lying and manipulation don’t work. I’m saying that we shouldn’t be on the team of the liars and manipulators.
“Beat them by becoming them” is your strategy?
I clearly stated in the first half of my response that I wasn’t suggesting anyone do this, but the parent comment said saying something that’s not the truth will only achieve republicans thinking their opponents are ignorant and nothing else.
This is demonstrably false. Anything pushed hard enough becomes the status quo. This is important to know even if all you want to do is fight back against it.
deleted by creator
his eyes are closed too, conservatives try to say hes posting on truth social.
If optics still mattered, I don’t think Trump would have won any election, let alone 2.
That’s no reason to abandon truth and give in to rampant misinformation.
While I have saved this for later distribution, it looks more like he’s checking his phone. Either way, he’s not paying attention.
That’s what it looks like to me. To be honest though just about everything on the internet is probably more important than what Elongated is saying.
Oh my God this comment just made me realize when the inevitable Watergate type scandal happens with this administration it will be called Elongate
I think we need to retire -gate. Watergate was a laughable nothing of a scandal compared to what the Trump regime does daily.
-a-lago
I think we need to retire -gate.
OK. But please let us have Elongate first. It’s almost like centuries of English language evolution have led us to this moment.
I’ll allow it.
He’s obviously looking at his phone. This isn’t the burn the meme makes it out to be.
The real fucked up shit is the world’s richest man addressing the Cabinet. In a fucking baseball hat.
Yes, outrage farming misinformation doesn’t belong here (or anywhere).
Engage with reality, don’t cheer on lies because they’re lies that you like.
It should be pretty obvious the kind of damage that can be caused by people living in alternative-fact-based realities.
Obviously? No. There is no possible way his hands could be holding that phone. And we all know he is absolutely a 2-handing smart phone user. He can barely hold a 16oz bottle of water. Probably a 15.9oz at that.
his eyes are closed.
There’s no way you can tell that from that angle.
Also, in the video he’s obviously got his phone out.
FYI, some of those cabinet members have expressly ordered their agencies to disregard some of m*sks crap. They aren’t even all on the same page.
#dozeydonald
I don’t believe you - I believe he’s looking at his phone. Show me the video.
Yeah we all hate Trump, but sometimes you look at the ground and focus on the conversation. Its pretty standard behaviour.
Name someone more addicted to shitposting…
There’s someone in that exact room who is more addicted to shitposting.
Touché
Why is a) He even in there? b) still wearing that stupid hat?
Doesn’t want people to see his botched hair implants
Little Xevlar was pulling his plugs out during the compulsory shoulder rides.
What gets me about this photo is how fundamentally unserious the whole scene appears. The body language of nearly everyone, the lack of focus, the shabbiness of it all… just embarrassing. I’ve seen high school clubs looking more competent and serious.
I know this is just an aesthetics thing, but it gets to me. 🤷
The body language just says “we’re all here to blow Elon”, except for Trump who is allowed to nap after a hard day of golfing.
What you’re picking up on is body language and that’s not strictly aesthetics. It’s sometimes even more important than verbal language.
Body language predates verbal language by literal tens of millions of years so year checks out.
Musk looks like the sandwich trolley guy telling people about the specials.
He is really old, he’ll be 79 in june. How many people that are that age, you hear they die, and you’re like, “mmhmm, they had a long life.” He should be at his country clubs being racist and assaulting women like all the other republicans. Retire, it’s just a job man.
He did retire. Here he is asleep in his chair like grandpa after thanksgiving dinner. Musk’s in charge now.
president musk, and TRUMP is not even at the front of the table hes at one of the low level pleb seats.
That’s the spot all the recent history presidents have sat at for cabinet meetings. Here’s one from 1976. https://www.fordlibrarymuseum.gov/ford-administration-cabinet-meeting-minutes
He is 2 years younger than my grandad. And I would not trust my grandpa to run the country. He is just too old.
I would dead ass rather roll the dice with your granddad
I would rather roll the dice with my own granddad, and he’s already dead
White House at Bernie’s
White House at Bernie’s
Ironic really that this is what we got. Bernie at White House would have been a lot better.
cant fuck up things more than trump
Sadly he could not ever run because he does not have citzenship nor has he ever been to the US afaik. He has been to Mexico though. Maybe that counts.
He HAS been to the US then. The United States of Mexico.
Only $5 million to get a “Gold” card!
Jesus Christ, every single thing to come out of his campaign and mouth was projection. ‘Sleepy Joe’ my ass. More like drowsy Donny, who’s uppers are always wearing off
Hes doing exactly what he wanted to do as president.
I bet that room smells like rotting corpses and dog shit.
You don’t say?!
This is my new favorite picture, thank you
It is mine as well. I honestly don’t know who made it, but I am sure it should be spread out across the world in large numbers.
Thank you, unknown creator.
Full diapers and DMSO (If RFK Jr is present)
Only if souls have a smell.
OT, but what do you mean “Sign-in Required” when trying to read the post on bluesky, weren’t they supposed to be better than twitter?
This user has requested that their content only be shown to signed-in users.
Huh. I guess that’s a feature Bluesky offers. TIL.
It was just added recently, like within a week or so. At least it’s the users choice unlike Twitter.
Correct, I noticed the feature recently too. I’d imagine it’s anti-spam (or at least anti-lurk?) but it’s not like you can comment without an account.
I don’t see a good enough reason to toggle that unless you’re expecting a non-user to leak it to another platform to make fun of you (e.g. Lemmy) and obviously we’re proof enough that it isn’t much of a deterrent, lol.
So the enshittification begins… I can’t think of a single valid reason for wanting only account-havers to view your post.
This is a way to slightly make a block work better to keep away from stalkers. Yes, a stalker can create another account. But it does add an additional small speed bump.
It’s a way to dip their toe into being closed off. Right now it’s a “user choice” so some people can slowly build the wall while feeling good about “blocking AI scrapers” (they’ll get around it no problem) or “blocking stalkers” (they’ll get around it no problem) or “blocking [next week’s bogeyman]” and all of a sudden everyone has to make an account to interact with the website but it was oRgAnIc™
Let’s hope the coke and the ketamine are doing their jobs in Muskrat’s body and brain.
