Prepare to be underwhelmed by Trump's press conference

Trump has a boss, but he only cares about sowing chaos.

fwiw: musk himself says different. ( and, at the very least, i think he’s shown much more interest in a high flying stock value than a profitable company that makes an actual product like an electric car. )

they’re also both in love with crypto, the free flow of government money into their own pockets, and white supremacy. so there’s much more that they agree on then disagree i think.

Trump Claims He Has Helicopter Trip Records and Threatens to Sue

Former President Donald J. Trump insisted that he was in a dangerous helicopter landing, though the man he said he was with said it never happened.

OK, so the latest twist to this stupid drama is that while both Willie and Jerry Brown deny ever experiencing any kind of unusual helicopter ride with Donald Trump, a different, unrelated Black politician from California says they once had a harrowing helicopter ride together.

So the best guess is a combination of Trump’s normal aggrandizement mixed with ongoing cognitive decline and a big dollop of casual racism.

“Willie is the short Black guy living in San Francisco,” Holden said. “I’m a tall Black guy living in Los Angeles.

“I guess we all look alike,” Holden told POLITICO, letting out a loud laugh.

It reminds me a bit of when Ronald Reagan recalled his experience about supposed WW2 bomber crews, forgetting that he only saw the incident in a film.

More details in Trump’s helicopter story. Trump’s apologists will probably try to say this vindicates Trump because it shows he didn’t imagine the incident entirely, but really it just makes him look even more racist than the original telling of the story did and had nothing whatsoever to do with Kamala Harris.

Res told Politico on Friday that Trump liked to say that Holden “tuned white.” But Holden said it was Trump who was really afraid.

“He was white as snow,” said Holden. “And he was scared s—less.”

That ensures there will be no lawsuit. Trump doesn’t want anyone saying he was “scared shitless”, especially under oath.

There never was really going to be a lawsuit, obviously. Even Trump would have trouble finding a lawyer dumb enough to sue the New York Times for accurately reporting Willie Brown’s denials about riding in a helicopter with Donald Trump.

T***p also confused Willie Brown and Jerry Brown, so I guess all Brown guys look alike to him also.

But it’s good! Keep it up, media! Late night talk shows should not be doing all the heavy lifting!

I think it was the press that speculated Trump was mixing those two up when they were trying to figure out what the hell Trump was talking about since Trump did actually take a helicopter ride with Jerry Brown once.

The actual explanation now appears to be a different, unrelated helicopter ride with Nate Holden.

Never mind the taint behind that whole story.

Trump was trying to develop real estate in Los Angeles. He flew the State Senator for that district out to NY and then took him on a helicopter ride to his Atlantic City casino, ostensibly to curry favor by showing him a good time.

If I did that shit in my job (especially with a government official), that’d be called bribery and corruption. I’d likely be fired.

Trump has been trying, and failing, to develop real estate all over the world forever.

Is It that list of random words used to wake up the winter soldier? Nothing makes sense here. He says a lot of things that are not connected to each other. He contradicts himself several times. People don’t want electric cars. There is a market for them. People want electric cars. People want hybrids. People want everything!

In Trump’s case, the lobe bone is connected to the bone spur.

Maybe it was to show off the truly shocking decor?
