I watched the cabinet meeting but never saw him sleeping. If anyone else wants to double check, I would appreciate it as i hated every minute of that idiot circle jerk.
He is checking his phone or playing flappy bird or something when the pic was taken.
playing flappy bird
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
It’s fucking weird that there are people in this comment section acting like Trump is a naughty schoolboy texting his crush under the desk.
He’s Trump. If he was shitposting it’d be on the table and any sycophant that had a problem with it would get told to shut up and get him a hamburger.
hamberder*
Yeah, that was kind of a layup.
Unless he’s talking to his FSB handler on his second phone and doesn’t want anyone to see
The FSB handler that told gim to stop all aid and make an exception for ukraine?
That told him to unlilaterally break the missile treaties?
Is he in the room with us right now?Why would his FSB handler talk to him on the phone if she were in the same room with him?
Why would he care? They’ve got their own.
Musk gets him excited. He’s jerking off.
Nah, Stormy made it clear that he doesn’t have a two-hander, even with tiny hands.
FYI, some of those cabinet members have expressly ordered their agencies to disregard some of m*sks crap. They aren’t even all on the same page.
Should I just take your word for it?
It was brought up literally during that very meeting.
It’s been widely reported. Much of the cabinet hates Musk.
Look at it from their perspectives. They’ve sold their souls to grasp at power, and now that they have control over massive federal agencies, this motherfucker starts trying to fire their staff and cut their funding.
it’s been widely reported that every time someone says “it’s been widely reported” it’s to defend some misleading statement
“It’s been widely reported” means there’s been lots of reports. As in, you can look it up and find hundreds of articles about from all sides of the political spectrum with less effort than it takes to call everyone a liar.
But since you’re too lazy to even do that, you can click the link below.

Asking someone to cite a source is important for information that obscure. When it’s for a news story that’s been on every radio, TV, internet, and print news sources in the country non-stop for multiple days, it just makes you look like an ignorant asshole.
it’s been widely reported that you take it way too personally when lightly questioned about anything….
here’s how it works: i’m not too lazy to google some vague claim you made, but i’m not googling the claims everyone makes… so the burden of proof is on you…
just grow up and cite your sources…. btw, “it’s been widely reported” is basically a Trump catch phrase now
I just gave you hundreds of sources you ignorant ass. Including the AP, the BBC, the NYT, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, and more.
When you demand sources for what’s being reported by literally every major news outlet, you just make it clear you either are intentially trying to mislead or are intentionally uninformed.
If it’s the first, then you’re doing a terrible job and you may find yourself falling out of a window when the boss finds out how shitty you are at your job. If it’s the second, then it isn’t my job to educate your stupid, ignorant ass.
you gave me the “let me google that for you” link… which was really funny, 20 years ago
it’s really simple: when making strong claims, cite a source.
not only does it make present conversation more meaningful, it also future proofs discussion because google broke the “time range” search feature and the internet is becoming the memory hole from 1984.is the point of talking about things on here to be right, or to actually cooperate and figure stuff out?
He probably gets paid to argue. Block the little traitorous bitch and stop arguing with him.
You can take my word for it. One of my buddies works for the DoD and the order came in on Monday expressly highlighting to NOT respond to the email.
The DoD email was actually signed, unlike the musk intern hr email.

The optics of Musk addressing the room while Trump is disengaged are bad enough without simply making up things that are not there.
“Why is Elon Musk acting as the leader while Trump is disengaged” is a hard question for a reasonable person to deal with.
Saying “lol look at Trump sleeping” when that’s obviously not what is happening, makes you come off as unserious and casts doubt on anything you say in the future.
Spreading misleading lies is not the way to engage with the world. (To those of you that are people and not disinformation bots/agents)
How is it obvious that he isn’t sleeping? He looks like he’s sleeping. Without the caption I would assume he’s sleeping as well.
His hands are very close together, he’s looking between his hands and we know Trump is a social media junkie.
Without the caption you would assume he’s sleeping because someone probably flipped through hundreds of frames of video to find the shot that looked the worst so they could post about it.
Trump, if you’re to believe the rumors, uses stimulants and drinks a lot of caffeinated soda. He’s not falling asleep in the middle of the day.
It’s worse, he’s letting an unelected man, the richest man in the world, who paid for his campaign, act as the leader while he reads Twitter.
Him merely being asleep would be preferable over Musk being in the room. Incompetent and lazy leadership by Trump would be vastly better than his simply handing the reigns of power to an unelected non-American.
That’s the messaging that needs to be happening. All this is going to do is make the blue team laugh and the red team think the blue team is ignorant.
Meanwhile, Elon is taking a chainsaw to our entire government while we’re too busy trying to score points on the other team (who are the people we need to be allying with to protect the US).
His hands are very close together, he’s looking between his hands and we know Trump is a social media junkie.
We know it has tiny hands, so at that distance, it can’t possibly operate a phone with both tiny hands. ^^
You sound like you’re joking, but I’m honestly still trying to decide if there’s a phone the width of where his hands are…
Maybe it’s an iPad. He does kinda give iPad kid.
There’s something so funny about her mental picture of Musk handing the president of the United States an iPad to play with while he tries to seize power.
I’m not suggesting people lie, but your messaging doesn’t have to be completely true to work. That’s how the red team got elected in the first place
I’m not saying that lying and manipulation don’t work. I’m saying that we shouldn’t be on the team of the liars and manipulators.
You are both right and I’ve really learned something from your comments, thanks.
“Beat them by becoming them” is your strategy?
I clearly stated in the first half of my response that I wasn’t suggesting anyone do this, but the parent comment said saying something that’s not the truth will only achieve republicans thinking their opponents are ignorant and nothing else.
This is demonstrably false. Anything pushed hard enough becomes the status quo. This is important to know even if all you want to do is fight back against it.
deleted by creator
his eyes are closed too, conservatives try to say hes posting on truth social.
If optics still mattered, I don’t think Trump would have won any election, let alone 2.
That’s no reason to abandon truth and give in to rampant misinformation.
Good example for other migrant workers.
Hes doing exactly what he wanted to do as president.
I don’t believe you - I believe he’s looking at his phone. Show me the video.
Yeah we all hate Trump, but sometimes you look at the ground and focus on the conversation. Its pretty standard behaviour.
Name someone more addicted to shitposting…
There’s someone in that exact room who is more addicted to shitposting.
Touché
While I have saved this for later distribution, it looks more like he’s checking his phone. Either way, he’s not paying attention.
That’s what it looks like to me. To be honest though just about everything on the internet is probably more important than what Elongated is saying.
Oh my God this comment just made me realize when the inevitable Watergate type scandal happens with this administration it will be called Elongate
I think we need to retire -gate. Watergate was a laughable nothing of a scandal compared to what the Trump regime does daily.
-a-lago
I think we need to retire -gate.
OK. But please let us have Elongate first. It’s almost like centuries of English language evolution have led us to this moment.
I’ll allow it.
He’s obviously looking at his phone. This isn’t the burn the meme makes it out to be.
The real fucked up shit is the world’s richest man addressing the Cabinet. In a fucking baseball hat.
Yes, outrage farming misinformation doesn’t belong here (or anywhere).
Engage with reality, don’t cheer on lies because they’re lies that you like.
It should be pretty obvious the kind of damage that can be caused by people living in alternative-fact-based realities.
Obviously? No. There is no possible way his hands could be holding that phone. And we all know he is absolutely a 2-handing smart phone user. He can barely hold a 16oz bottle of water. Probably a 15.9oz at that.
his eyes are closed.
There’s no way you can tell that from that angle.
Also, in the video he’s obviously got his phone out.
What gets me about this photo is how fundamentally unserious the whole scene appears. The body language of nearly everyone, the lack of focus, the shabbiness of it all… just embarrassing. I’ve seen high school clubs looking more competent and serious.
I know this is just an aesthetics thing, but it gets to me. 🤷
The body language just says “we’re all here to blow Elon”, except for Trump who is allowed to nap after a hard day of golfing.
What you’re picking up on is body language and that’s not strictly aesthetics. It’s sometimes even more important than verbal language.
Body language predates verbal language by literal tens of millions of years so year checks out.
Musk looks like the sandwich trolley guy telling people about the specials.
Dozin’ Donnie.
Why is a) He even in there? b) still wearing that stupid hat?
Doesn’t want people to see his botched hair implants
Little Xevlar was pulling his plugs out during the compulsory shoulder rides.
Xevlar
Did you come up with that? It’s fucking top notch funny. I don’t laugh much these days.
I wish. It was doing the rounds when he started wearing the kid-helmet and I can’t forget it.
B: It has become an even lamer version of the swastika armband.
Don’t see the kid anywhere in the image, so gotta have something to go on the head.
Nah, the kid isn’t a hat, he’s a human shield.
People are far less likely to shoot evil billionaires (and infinitely less likely to do so and gain public sympathy) if they do it near their spawn, so he’s been bringing his 4yo everywhere he thinks he might otherwise be shot ever since people started celebrating Luigi.
Every time I see him with his kid, I can’t help but think of the Insufferable comic where the dude’s got baby body armor
They executed the kids during the Spartacus Revolt. Gotta make sure the slave owners kids don’t come back for revenge.
Can’t see how a billionaire’s kid is any different - it’s really nothing personal.
He has seven of those horcruxes
He is really old, he’ll be 79 in june. How many people that are that age, you hear they die, and you’re like, “mmhmm, they had a long life.” He should be at his country clubs being racist and assaulting women like all the other republicans. Retire, it’s just a job man.
He did retire. Here he is asleep in his chair like grandpa after thanksgiving dinner. Musk’s in charge now.
president musk, and TRUMP is not even at the front of the table hes at one of the low level pleb seats.
That’s the spot all the recent history presidents have sat at for cabinet meetings. Here’s one from 1976. https://www.fordlibrarymuseum.gov/ford-administration-cabinet-meeting-minutes
He is 2 years younger than my grandad. And I would not trust my grandpa to run the country. He is just too old.
I would dead ass rather roll the dice with your granddad
I would rather roll the dice with my own granddad, and he’s already dead
White House at Bernie’s
White House at Bernie’s
Ironic really that this is what we got. Bernie at White House would have been a lot better.
cant fuck up things more than trump
Sadly he could not ever run because he does not have citzenship nor has he ever been to the US afaik. He has been to Mexico though. Maybe that counts.
He HAS been to the US then. The United States of Mexico.
Only $5 million to get a “Gold” card!
Jesus Christ, every single thing to come out of his campaign and mouth was projection. ‘Sleepy Joe’ my ass. More like drowsy Donny, who’s uppers are always wearing off
