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.

    If all our media outlets would treat him with that kind of respect we might have a better shot at kicking his sorry ass out

    It’s only a matter of time before some MAGA psychopath goes all Charlie Hebdo on some media outlet that insults Trump.

    Any good politician would at least think twice about this before just attacking them back like a little child. If I were president and this would happen, I would work on fixing my image instead of ruining it even more.

    The last 10 years have been one of bullying and turning people into hateful assholes.

    Guaranteed that he has no idea the Times person of the year doesn’t mean the greatest and bestest person of the year. Just the world’s biggest shit disturbed of the year, for good or ill.

    Donald′s classic ″You are so lame and unpopular, nobody knows who you are″ rebuttal. Such a quick witted mind he has.

      The irony of these first amendment people targetting the press is that the text of the 1A specifically mentions freedom of the press…

      People like to quote the 1A as all about being MY SPEECH

    I wish the independent hadn’t used such a high def photo of him-- you can really see all the nooks and crannies of his shit ass bronzer shotgun applicator. He looks so fucking old. I doubt he’s making it through the next 4 years alive.

          Kissinger also wasn’t a fat, lazy, demented old crybaby. he was as cold as he was evil. and was in relatively good shape for much of his life, certainly compared to big beefy Donnie boy.

    Time’s latest pantomime—a Musk-Tump fusion seated at the Resolute Desk of Delusion. Classic. The man who thinks truth is a flexible spreadsheet and the guy who thinks “fraud and corruption” is a compliment. Peak propaganda.

    Trump’s “indifference” is as convincing as Musk’s “genius.” Both crave validation from the same media they pretend to despise. Pathetic. Time’s covers? Just participation trophies for oligarchs cosplaying as revolutionaries.

    The real joke? Watching these clowns orbit each other’s egos while the world burns. But hey, at least the Resolute Desk now doubles as a therapy couch for billionaires with daddy issues.
