Trump is ‘chief of staff’ to ‘President Musk’ at this point, says Rep. Goldman

"Right now, we have President Elon Musk. And Donald Trump—maybe he's vice president. I guess vice presidents don't do much, so that makes sense. He might be the chief of staff. I don't know what you call him, but he is not calling the shots," says Rep. Dan Goldman.

Republicans obsessed about Kamala Harris being an 'unelected candidate', now they are cheering along an unelected shadow president. 🤣

It's so strange seeing Elon take the place of Melania by his side. I've never seen anything like it.

Vivek is chief of staff. Trump is First Lady.

Mathematical phenomenon, two half-wits do not equal one wit. It's just double stupidity.

"Chief of staff"? At best, Trump is the coffee boy.

This is what the voters wanted!!! 4 years of chaos & suffering. Ironic that rural America (Republican heartland) will bear much of the brunt.

That's what happens when you have a president for sale

[tfuthought]

I do not believe Elon musk should have anything to do with politics because she's not a politician but neither is Trump

[HappyHermit-rv]

I'm confused. If Elon Musk is now POTUS, is trump considered Donald Musk or is he Stormy Trump..?
