I think Trump really really is losing the plot.
Firstly a press conference with Musk and Musk’s 4 year old son (picking his nose in some photos).
Followed by Trump announcing said “the Department of Government Efficiency had found “fraud” and “waste” in the government”
He has handed across so much power to Musk, and freedom, and they speak every day. It’s scary!

We call it a bogey! Or a Jimmy Crow.
I should note, I don't think the boy wiped a booger on Trump. I dont want to spread fake news. I just hope he did.
Over here we call Musk's child his human shield. He always has him. Rumor is that the child's mom was not told about the appearance and is not happy. Could be true, I didn't care to research it.
And ny feeling in the nose picking is this, he is 4 years old so it's not that big if a deal and to be honest, I can't think of a better person to wipe a booger on then Trump.
Win-win
Oh, seen your subsequent post! 🙂

Who was picking his nose?
Musk or his little boy? If it was a four year old I'll let I'm off.
But I can hear Joyce Grenfell "George, don't do that".Are (or were) both his parents? His mother Maye is Canadian by birth and an internationally successful model and has been divorced from his father for many years. She raised her 3 children single-handedly and still works at the age of 76.
Sorry? Not sure I understand whst you're asking.

I watched a programme about archeology last night that featured the Nazis and realised just how Nazi like Musks salute was.
Well, his parents were Nazi sympathisers, Musk is an unapologetic white supremacist, and undoubtedly Trump's call for 'white minorities' in South Africa who have lost their land to be compensated, is orchestrated by him, also he has been advising the far right political party in Germany.
So to those who didn't think it was a Nazi salute, they obviously don't adhere to the old - 'if it quacks like a duck....
Oops apologies, I meant to quote Babs03.

There is a picture of JFK sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, with his young son peeping out from under it.
Today there were multiple photos of POTUS Trump sitting at the same desk with Elon Musk’s son peeping out.
Coincidence or staged?

That fool Rees-Mogg used to take a child with him everywhere. It's a kind of 'look at me, I'm important enough to break the rules' thing isn't it?
Have you watched At Home with the Rees Moggs?
He would be brave taking their youngest anywhere. 😂
Yes I think the child was just PR, trying to make Musk look more normal, less manic billionaire with Nazi overtones intent upon ruling the world kind of thing.
It didn't work.
A child in tow ( albeit ignored completely) reminds me of Nixon declaring his total honesty as he told lots of lies to camera from the White House .
His choice of "prop" was his cute dog.
Its trying to say, hi, I'm just a regular guy, a family man ...just popped round to see my mate
I agree with Wyllow
Trying to portray himself as a regular American family guy,

Apparently it’s now called a “Roman” salute!

Also, Musk donning a black hat is deliberately marking himself out as the bad guy or a judge passing a sentence of death (on public service workers perhaps).

Ivanka was next to him at the Super Bowl. And Jared is still very involved with Israel I believe.
Yes, Jared's family are close friends with Netanyahu.
These two are the most terrifying people in the world right now, neither of them knows which one is president.
Insert 'be' between 'to' and 'the'. Pressed post instead of preview.
I think FGT2 and HPQ have nailed it on the presence of the child. It's a well-known ploy in political circles to have a young child with you as people are less likely to be aggressive about your policies, performance etc. No-one wants to the journalist who makes the kid cry. Not sure, HPQ, if the presence of a child would deter a really intent assassinator. The child would just be collateral damage.
I thought both Musk and Trump looked a trifle unhappy about the interview but then we don't know what goes on behind the scenes with their voters. Perhaps there is growing concern among voters about their own jobs.
The whole scene reminded me of an episode on tv once where the old ailing King sits by while his wizard steps forward and makes decisions for him while those present all look worried.
Very witty Oreo that gave me a chuckle! 😁

The more Musk struts about, the older and less capable Trump looks. He is out of his depth, and was never very smart in his prime, to see him standing there talking about Bitcoin and such is pathetic, he obviously doesn't know what he is talking about. As long as he makes money, he is happy. Has anyone else noticed how little his freeloading family are involved in this administration compared to his last time? Maybe they are put out at being usurped by the 'favourite'.
I hope so.
I quite agree HousePlantQueen, its a crazy situation
