He'll have to escalate his behavior though to keep having the same effect.

It is likely as simple as Trump getting upset that people were talking about Carter instead of him.

And Musk who had been dominating headlines.

Yes, I made the point earlier up the thread.

IIRC the flag on the White house is supposed to remain at half-mast (probably stand or something) for a couple of weeks, but there's no way Trump is entering the building with anything other than a ginormous flag all a flutter.

Maybe Ellen Musk could be construed as demeaning to women, so I've decided to call him Alone Musk, that's possibly a description too.

Incidentally the UK Channel 4 news's senior UK politics correspondent seems to hate mentioning Musk, a couple of times he's resorted to "that well known multi-billionaire" instead. :bowler:

The truth is you have no idea what he will say or do next and it keeps it exciting for everyone. We cannot drop listening and discussing, we are at least half as much at fault as the people voting for him.

Great, but that's not really what I said :P

QuoteProject 2025 is in full swing.  The old guard is leaving, people who could amount to any kind of opposition are leaving by themselves to avoid a "nasty battle".
It's not Project 2025 - those people are not getting hired and are being frozen out (some will still get jobs because you can't staff a Republican administration without any Heritage Foundation people. The Trump team told them to shut up because they were claiming they were basically setting the agenda for a Trump second term and he hates being managed or overshadowed.

Unrelated, as I mentioned earlier, I see that Trump is apparently telling people that Musk is "clingy".
Let's bomb Russia!

Your repeated comments about this, are themselves becoming 'clingy'    :P
