As delicious as the very public spat between President TACO and Elon “I Don’t Take Ketamine” Musk is, I can’t get too worked up about it.
Anyone who has followed the felonious real estate magnate over the years should have seen this coming.
The Mad King of Mar-a-Lago always, always breaks up with people who suck up to him.

Rick Wilson famously said, “Everything Trump touches dies,” and this social media back-and-forth is evidence of that.
Will they kiss and make up? Probably.
The fact that Musk has more money than god is a good reason for the grifter-golfer to forgive and forget.

I mean, Pam “Trump University is Just Dandy” Bondi is still in charge of the Justice Department — truth be told the mandarin chicken is in charge of the DOJ. If Bondi hasn’t already redacted any incriminating evidence that might hurt the conspiracy-theorist-in chief, I would be surprised.
A word to the Democrats: Don’t even think about trying to woo Musk. I’m looking at you, Ro Khanna. Musk is evil.

The scene is Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin speaking in a committee hearing with Education Secretary Linda “A1” McMahon about the budget for the department.
“What was we ranked … ” He even repeated it.

Best line EVER from a congressional hearing.
Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pennsylvania, was questioning Commerce Sec. Howard Lutnick about tariffs on bananas.
Lutnick seems to not know where they come from or how they get to American grocery stores.
“We cannot build bananas in America” — Rep. Dean.
Brilliant.
