      When has leadership and authority ever been a concern? His office is just a repurposed United States Digital Services office they kicked everybody out of and renamed because they didn’t have the power to actually create a new office.

    If Musk can fly a rocket, Trump reportedly told associates, per the NYT, he can probably fly an airplane.

    You guys are all such a joke.

    Sucks millions or billions will die when you blame the plane crash on Canada or Denmark or Ukraine.

    IMO, the current administration is the biggest threat to democracy in the history of this nation, and right now its PR is being lead by a clown that paints his face orange each morning.

    The right wants him replaced just as much as the left – and preferably quickly enough that Vance might get 3 terms. So be careful what you wish for, because right now Trump is actually doing a phenomenal job of fueling outrage over the authors of project 2025.

    It’s a knife’s edge, but I admit I’ll celebrate the day it comes.

      He would at most get 2.49999 terms. You have not read the 22nd amendment. You can’t get 3 terms aside from repeatedly being elected as VP and the primary president losing office 4+ times.

        I said “3 terms” because his timespan in office would exceed the expected ~8 year limit of the 2 term cycle. But, before you reply, I do understand your logic, so please don’t.

          3 terms is 12 years. 2+4+4 is not 12

          This is a situation that implies he is either impeached , resigned, or dead, so I’m not sure what his interpretation has to do with this conversation

              I do not think any of the 3 that I mentioned are likely. But that is the world view the parent comment assumes, and my comment is just continuing his assumption but showing why his extrapolations are incorrect
