What a day it has been, what rare moods Trump and Musk are in. And it's not anything like being in love.
Benedict Donald and the Evil Elon have gone at each other tooth and nail today, and as with everything Trumpy, there is a ton of stuff we don't know. Musk lobbed his Jeffrey Epstein grenade (paging Pam Bondi), and then — as if tongues weren't wagging enough — followed up less than a half-hour later with "Donald would have lost without me." Social media blew up. Rumors abounded that Trump's platform crashed from all the traffic. (We wouldn't know, we're not on it.)
You do have to wonder why Kash Patel and Dan Bongino both suddenly felt the need to make separate statements last week that Epstein absolutely, positively committed suicide in 2019. Hmmm. What else will we know by this time tomorrow? Meanwhile, the shock and awe are still raging online, and we're just sorry that Trump and Elon have pushed the excellent Madeleine Dean "We cannot build bananas in America" story off the front pages. (Their shenanigans are bananas enough.)
In the meantime, we can only ask ourselves the question we've been asking since 2016: What will the spineless Republicans do?
Will they split into "Trump Republicans" and "Musk Republicans"? Imagine their Hobson's choice: Will they stick with Trump, and be forced to contribute to Donald's grift and graft (like booking fundraisers at his country clubs) — only to have to compete against Musk-funded whackjobs? Or will they run as the aforementioned Elon whackjobs, with potentially unlimited budgets — but suffer Trump's eternal enmity? They've done it to themselves. We cats PURR.
