While I have saved this for later distribution, it looks more like he’s checking his phone. Either way, he’s not paying attention.
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.
Oh my God this comment just made me realize when the inevitable Watergate type scandal happens with this administration it will be called Elongate
I think we need to retire -gate. Watergate was a laughable nothing of a scandal compared to what the Trump regime does daily.
I think we need to retire -gate.
OK. But please let us have Elongate first. It’s almost like centuries of English language evolution have led us to this moment.
I’ll allow it.
Obviously? No. There is no possible way his hands could be holding that phone. And we all know he is absolutely a 2-handing smart phone user. He can barely hold a 16oz bottle of water. Probably a 15.9oz at that.
his eyes are closed.
Why is a) He even in there? b) still wearing that stupid hat?
Doesn’t want people to see his botched hair implants
Little Xevlar was pulling his plugs out during the compulsory shoulder rides.
Xevlar
Did you come up with that? It’s fucking top notch funny. I don’t laugh much these days.
I wish. It was doing the rounds when he started wearing the kid-helmet and I can’t forget it.
B: It has become an even lamer version of the swastika armband.
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.
He did retire. Here he is asleep in his chair like grandpa after thanksgiving dinner. Musk’s in charge now.
president musk, and TRUMP is not even at the front of the table hes at one of the low level pleb seats.
That’s the spot all the recent history presidents have sat at for cabinet meetings. Here’s one from 1976. https://www.fordlibrarymuseum.gov/ford-administration-cabinet-meeting-minutes
He is 2 years younger than my grandad. And I would not trust my grandpa to run the country. He is just too old.
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)
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.
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).
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’m not saying that lying and manipulation don’t work. I’m saying that we shouldn’t be on the team of the liars and manipulators.
You are both right and I’ve really learned something from your comments, thanks.
his eyes are closed too, conservatives try to say hes posting on truth social.
If optics still mattered, I don’t think Trump would have won any election, let alone 2.
That’s no reason to abandon truth and give in to rampant misinformation.
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. 🤷
I don’t believe you - I believe he’s looking at his phone. Show me the video.
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?
This user has requested that their content only be shown to signed-in users.
Huh. I guess that’s a feature Bluesky offers. TIL.
It was just added recently, like within a week or so. At least it’s the users choice unlike Twitter.
So the enshittification begins… I can’t think of a single valid reason for wanting only account-havers to view your post.
It’s a way to dip their toe into being closed off. Right now it’s a “user choice” so some people can slowly build the wall while feeling good about “blocking AI scrapers” (they’ll get around it no problem) or “blocking stalkers” (they’ll get around it no problem) or “blocking [next week’s bogeyman]” and all of a sudden everyone has to make an account to interact with the website but it was oRgAnIc™
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. :|
Obviously? No. There is no possible way his hands could be holding that phone. And we all know he is absolutely a 2-handing smart phone user. *Yes to the rest
I think he’s got legs down there a phone could rest on.
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.
Should I just take your word for it?
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.
There are tons of easily found articles. I saw a bunch regarding the recent email. Here’s merely one, and it references the differences and how the cabinet is not all on the same page. I remember seeing some references explicitly to specific cabinet secretaries or top appointed agency officials directing their agency to disregard it. It’s interesting.
A Trump administration official said the move led to “some annoyance” among not only top officials, but even some Cabinet secretaries, adding that the secretaries “are in charge of their own agencies and need to conduct their own reviews for where cuts may be needed.”
“The president respects the decisions of his Cabinet secretaries to tell their staff not to respond to that email because they did so out of interest of national security and they don’t want to obviously risk confidential information.”
Meanwhile, those working in the executive office of the president, for example, were told they do not have to respond and are considered exempt from the email.

It was brought up literally during that very meeting.
He’s just diddling his phone, writing some stupid shit in all caps on his stupid social network.
This is pure bullshit. You can’t just make claims like this. Donald is resting his neck and eyelids from all the ass kicking he is doing. It’s exhausting Making America Great Again while fending off Musk’s attempts to top him every time he tales an impromptu nap.
/s
Did you copy and paste this directly from Twitter?
Did you miss the /s? That denotes sarcasm since tone is absent on the internet.
I’m saying it parodies Twitter comments well
#dozeydonald
Let’s hope the coke and the ketamine are doing their jobs in Muskrat’s body and brain.
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.
hamberder*
Unless he’s talking to his FSB handler on his second phone and doesn’t want anyone to see
Why would he care? They’ve got their own.
The FSB handler that told gim to stop all aid and make an exception for ukraine?
That told him to unlilaterally break the missile treaties?
Is he in the room with us right now?Is your argument here that Trump couldn’t possibly be a Russian asset? Because I’ve got news for you, the evidence is pretty overwhelming that he is, at the very least, helping Putin with everything he needs.
I just gave you facts to the contrary, then simply show me your ‘evidence’
I just gave you facts to the contrary, then simply show me your ‘evidence’
Yeah, I think maybe you don’t know what the word “facts” actually means, because you did no such thing.
Have you tried, I don’t know, googling it?
Try adding “Krasnov” to your queries.
LOL Imagine being this confidently wrong .
I did give you 2 important decisions Trump made that were very hostile to Russia. Or do you want to deny this happened or that he during his first time already fully supported them 4 years long.
Maybe you do, there’s a possibility of you being ‘special’ in the head.Especially when I do Google what you have to offer as ‘facts’. Slop I normally wouldn’t waste time with and read:
“According to a Facebook post…”
“a former Soviet and Kazakh security official, claimed…”
"a rumor circulated online that… "You see, when they use these little words it means they pulled them from their ass and have nothing to back it up.
Exactly the opposite of a fact (a thing that is known or proved to be true.)
Only dumb or very gullible specimens would believe that, or worse double down on them.
I don’t waste time on them Like I don’t waste on those ‘articles’.
At best I ridicule them, then say goodbye.
So byeWhat a weird comment… FYI, the Krasnov thing is a very recent development, so it’s not confirmed.
But let’s not pretend that’s the only evidence. Clearly you have no interest in actually understanding this, as you’ve clearly already made up your mind before anyone was ever able to even present a case.
It’s undeniable that, at the very least, Trump’s actions are ALWAYS in line with Russia and Putin. Including decisions he’s made that have literally no possible explanation beyond that.
Why would his FSB handler talk to him on the phone if she were in the same room with him?
More likely he twatting or truthing…whatever the term
