I watched the cabinet meeting but never saw him sleeping. If anyone else wants to double check, I would appreciate it as i hated every minute of that idiot circle jerk.

It's fucking weird that there are people in this comment section acting like Trump is a naughty schoolboy texting his crush under the desk.

He's Trump. If he was shitposting it'd be on the table and any sycophant that had a problem with it would get told to shut up and get him a hamburger.

Unless he's talking to his FSB handler on his second phone and doesn't want anyone to see

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 4 hours ago

Why would he care? They've got their own.

[–] badelf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 hours ago

Musk gets him excited. He's jerking off.

Good example for other migrant workers.

Hes doing exactly what he wanted to do as president.

FYI, some of those cabinet members have expressly ordered their agencies to disregard some of m*sks crap. They aren't even all on the same page.

[–] orize@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Should I just take your word for it?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It's been widely reported. Much of the cabinet hates Musk.

Look at it from their perspectives. They've sold their souls to grasp at power, and now that they have control over massive federal agencies, this motherfucker starts trying to fire their staff and cut their funding.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 hour ago

it’s been widely reported that every time someone says “it’s been widely reported” it’s to defend some misleading statement

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 4 points 13 hours ago

You can take my word for it. One of my buddies works for the DoD and the order came in on Monday expressly highlighting to NOT respond to the email.

The DoD email was actually signed, unlike the musk intern hr email.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 83 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The optics of Musk addressing the room while Trump is disengaged are bad enough without simply making up things that are not there.

"Why is Elon Musk acting as the leader while Trump is disengaged" is a hard question for a reasonable person to deal with.

Saying "lol look at Trump sleeping" when that's obviously not what is happening, makes you come off as unserious and casts doubt on anything you say in the future.

Spreading misleading lies is not the way to engage with the world. (To those of you that are people and not disinformation bots/agents)

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How is it obvious that he isn't sleeping? He looks like he's sleeping. Without the caption I would assume he's sleeping as well.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

His hands are very close together, he's looking between his hands and we know Trump is a social media junkie.

Without the caption you would assume he's sleeping because someone probably flipped through hundreds of frames of video to find the shot that looked the worst so they could post about it.

Trump, if you're to believe the rumors, uses stimulants and drinks a lot of caffeinated soda. He's not falling asleep in the middle of the day.

It's worse, he's letting an unelected man, the richest man in the world, who paid for his campaign, act as the leader while he reads Twitter.

Him merely being asleep would be preferable over Musk being in the room. Incompetent and lazy leadership by Trump would be vastly better than his simply handing the reigns of power to an unelected non-American.

That's the messaging that needs to be happening. All this is going to do is make the blue team laugh and the red team think the blue team is ignorant.

Meanwhile, Elon is taking a chainsaw to our entire government while we're too busy trying to score points on the other team (who are the people we need to be allying with to protect the US).

We know it has tiny hands, so at that distance, it can't possibly operate a phone with both tiny hands. ^^

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You sound like you're joking, but I'm honestly still trying to decide if there's a phone the width of where his hands are...

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe it’s an iPad. He does kinda give iPad kid.

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago

There's something so funny about her mental picture of Musk handing the president of the United States an iPad to play with while he tries to seize power.

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I'm not suggesting people lie, but your messaging doesn't have to be completely true to work. That's how the red team got elected in the first place

I don't believe you - I believe he's looking at his phone. Show me the video.

[–] telllos@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah we all hate Trump, but sometimes you look at the ground and focus on the conversation. Its pretty standard behaviour.

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Name someone more addicted to shitposting…

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

There's someone in that exact room who is more addicted to shitposting.

...and if he sleeps is a good thing!! May reduce the damages.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 15 points 22 hours ago

Let's hope the coke and the ketamine are doing their jobs in Muskrat's body and brain.

[–] TheDudeV2@lemmy.ca 68 points 1 day ago (4 children)

What gets me about this photo is how fundamentally unserious the whole scene appears. The body language of nearly everyone, the lack of focus, the shabbiness of it all… just embarrassing. I’ve seen high school clubs looking more competent and serious.

I know this is just an aesthetics thing, but it gets to me. 🤷

The body language just says "we're all here to blow Elon", except for Trump who is allowed to nap after a hard day of golfing.

While I have saved this for later distribution, it looks more like he's checking his phone. Either way, he's not paying attention.

[–] gregs_gumption@lemm.ee 57 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That's what it looks like to me. To be honest though just about everything on the internet is probably more important than what Elongated is saying.

[–] troybot@midwest.social 59 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh my God this comment just made me realize when the inevitable Watergate type scandal happens with this administration it will be called Elongate

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 47 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I think we need to retire -gate. Watergate was a laughable nothing of a scandal compared to what the Trump regime does daily.

Jesus Christ, every single thing to come out of his campaign and mouth was projection. 'Sleepy Joe' my ass. More like drowsy Donny, who's uppers are always wearing off

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 95 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (10 children)

He is really old, he'll be 79 in june. How many people that are that age, you hear they die, and you're like, "mmhmm, they had a long life." He should be at his country clubs being racist and assaulting women like all the other republicans. Retire, it's just a job man.

[–] Signtist@lemm.ee 63 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He did retire. Here he is asleep in his chair like grandpa after thanksgiving dinner. Musk's in charge now.

I mean, he's obviously just staring at his phone, but if this had been Biden then they'd have been calling him Sleepy Joe in all the headlines. :|

OT, but what do you mean "Sign-in Required" when trying to read the post on bluesky, weren't they supposed to be better than twitter?
