Summary

Donald Trump mocked Time magazine after its latest cover depicted Elon Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk, questioning if the magazine was “still in business.”

While pretending indifference, the cover likely irritated him, as he was ecstatic just months ago when Time named him 2024 Person of the Year.

Speaking at the White House, Trump tried to dismiss the cover’s implications and praised Musk for uncovering “fraud and corruption.”

Despite his criticism, Trump has long craved Time’s approval, even displaying a fake cover of himself.

      No, he does not care at all. Nope. Doesn’t care about what the media says. No bearing, none.

        He handled it well in fact, saying he thought they Time was out of business, then complimenting Elon’s performance in his role.

        …the Liberal media painting this as a huge win, rather than honestly admitting “We’re too scare to ask about Musk’s conflicts of interests because we represent the same rich assholes ge does” is part of how they contribute to the disconnect between politics and reality… And it’s part of how the election was lost, via sane washing, clickbaiting, and selective ignorance.
