If this wasn’t theater he would have already cut them.
Entirely fabricated reality show drama and the media/citizens are eating it up.
trump got really bent out of shape with the TACO nickname. If he doesn't follow through with this it will be a prime opportunity to point out yet more TACO evidence.
You really think anyone can plan, organize, and execute something of that scale?
he doesnt have a track record of planning nor organizing. he executes via tweet and then whats left of the people below him try to muster something together.
It's method acting.
Everyone from the lowest LARP'ing ICE agents to the orange faced chief of clowns have been in role for so many years that they all forgot what reality is outside of their theatre of the grotesque.
So they are living their lives as their part? Who are the ones dictating the story?
They're improvising the whole thing.
So they are just shit people doing shit things? Doesn't sound like a conspiracy to me.
Sounds about right. The strategy is chaos.
That I can agree with
I am wondering this too since Elon's close ties to the government basically wrecked Tesla so are they sort of trying to clean his slate. On the other hand both are man children so it is not impossible that they are fighting over their huge ego.
