How will Trump get Elon Musk to leave?

Assign Marjorie Taylor Greene to work with him at DOGE.

^^^ I thought you were making a joke...then I ran across a news clip. That, is fukking hilarious. Should at least be entertaining.

More appointments...

Scott Bessent....Treasury Secretary
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Bessent
Seems like a good pick.

Brendan Carr....FCC Chairman
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Carr_(lawyer)
"Carr supports changes to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and opposes net neutrality protections.[9][10] Carr is noted for his support for banning TikTok on national security grounds.[11][12] He is an opponent of content moderation on digital platforms, saying he would seek to "dismantle the censorship cartel and restore free speech rights."[13][14] He authored a chapter in Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, the blueprint document of Heritage Foundation's Project 2025"
Generally, I'm not liking him.

Sebastion Gorka....Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counter-Terrorism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Gorka
Seems like a mixed bag...not sure what to think of him.

Dave Weldon....CDC Director
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Weldon
Seems like a good pick.

Janette Nesheiwat....Surgeon General
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janette_Nesheiwat
Seems okay, but very mediocre.

Marty Makary....FDA Commissioner
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marty_Makary
Seems like a good pick.

Scott Turner....Secretary of HUD
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Turner_(politician)
Seems okay, but very mediocre.

Lori Chavez-DeRemer....Secretary of Labor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lori_Chavez-DeRemer
Although the Teamsters leadership likes her, she seems to be lacking in relevant education and experience.

Trump named Russell Vought, who played a central role in designing Project 2025, to head up the Office of Management and Budget.

More nominations...

Brooke Rollins....Secretary of Agriculture
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooke_Rollins
Seems okay, but mediocre.

Sean Duffy...Secretary of Transportation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Duffy
Doesn't seem to have any background, but can't be any worse than Pete's been.

Not even in office yet and Trump is already effecting change...

0:00-1:00

A 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada until they start pulling their weight to stem the tide of illegal immigrants and fentanyl flowing in from their countries...and also an additional 10% tariff for China until they take control of their production of the fentanyl that is illegally coming into the US.

And while it's been noted that this has effectively caused action so that the latest caravan will not reach the border, it seems the Mexican president thinks she can go tit for tat....we shall see.

And it would seem a Democrat insurrection has started...

...looks like a mayor and governor have indicated their intent to ignore, oppose, and/or resist federal immigration law enforcement.

Some more nominations...

0:00-1:45

Jamieson Greer....US Trade Representative
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamieson_Greer
Seems like an excellent pick.

Kevin Hassett....Director of the National Economic Council
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Hassett
While his education and experience are definitely good, his professional judgement is very questionable.

Jay Bhattacharya....Director of NIH
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Bhattacharya
This is an excellent choice. One of the co-authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, he was silenced like many other health experts for his views on COVID and the government's reaction to it.

And apparently Trump's approval rating has jumped 6 points since the election, to 54%...

...compared to Biden's current 36% approval rating.
Pretty embarrassing for demented Joe and his drunk bimbo sidekick Kamala.

MAGA (October): "We can't take any more crippling inflation!"
MAGA (Today): "Sure, under Trump, prices will go up, but it'll be worth it!"

Laura Ingraham: “Trump is fun. He is a fun factor in politics, and my gosh, we need to have more fun in this country. Too much negativity all the time”

No he didn't.
And you fell for line hook and sinker

Trump said Sheinbaum “agreed to stop Migration through Mexico."
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responds to Trump: "In our conversation with President Trump, I explained to him the comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights. Thanks to this, migrants and caravans are assisted before they reach the border. We reiterate that Mexico’s position is not to close borders but to build bridges between governments and between peoples."

“Effective immediately" :

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum
'I had an excellent conversation with President Donald Trump,' she posted on X.
'We addressed Mexico's strategy regarding the migration phenomenon, and I shared that caravans are no longer reaching the northern border as they are being addressed within Mexico.'
i like the taste of the bait
