Why have we elected a fool as president of the US of A?
Can’t explain why, but his inaction the other day as Elon Musk decided to go after Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a Cabinet meeting tells me Americans have elected a fool, who also happens to be a coward.
Reports from that meeting have disclosed that Musk — the unelected head of the Department for Government Efficiency — decided to chastise with malice Rubio’s handling of the orders that Musk has issued regarding layoffs at the State Department.
Rubio answered that he works a the pleasure of the president and not to Musk.
But what did The Man himself do about any of it? Not a damn thing! Hence, we must describe Donald Trump as a fool masquerading as the toughest man in the room. He is no such thing.
I happen to think relatively highly of Rubio, a former Republican senator from Florida. He once ran against Trump for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. He called Trump a “con man” and a fraud, urging Americans to resist casting their ballots the so-called champion “for the little guy.”
Rubio sought while running against Trump to expose him for the blustering buffoon he has turned out to be. Then he became a Trump toadie once his former foe got elected POTUS.
What I must remind y’all is that Rubio stands high up in the presidential line of sucession, at No. 4 behind the VP, the House speaker, and the Senate president pro tempore. Musk’s standing? It’s nowhere, as he was born in South Africa, made his billions and now has the ear of the POTUS.
For Elon Musk to dress down the nation’s top diplomat is a disgrace. That the president would allow it is even more disgraceful.
Yep. Americans have elected a fool to be our head of state.
