Former President Donald Trump has returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was nearly killed a few weeks ago. And I thought Tom Cruise was cool because he does his own stunts.
Mr. Trump has experienced character assassinations for eight years and survived at least two deranged gunman-style assassination attempts in a 12-week period. If Democrats want to seriously injure the 78-year-old now, they’ll have to hope he takes pickleball or suffocates him with dog meat during a visit to Springfield, Ohio.
Elon Musk, the Thomas Edison of our time, joined Trump at Butler. Mr. Musk is currently unable to field a self-driving candidate, so he will do what most of us do: bite his tongue, close his eyes and vote for Trump. Mr. Musk recognizes that Mr. Trump’s policies on the border, inflation, crime, and economy are far better for us than Kamala Harris’s policies.
Mr. Musk is one of those supporters who should mean more to Americans than any other. He is self-made, amazing, and transformative. Leftists will say Trump should hate him because he’s an immigrant.
Mr. Musk, like Mr. Trump, found years of peace by pretending to be a Democrat. Musk was a left-wing hero when he was a Democrat. They have been slamming him ever since he decided to think for himself. It was the best deal in political history. We got Musk and they got warmonger Cheney. We have Elon and they have Dick.
Now, Mr. Musk recognizes the threat from Democrats. They have allowed approximately 8 million illegal immigrants to enter our country, some landing in battleground states. These states are won by 10,000 to 40,000 votes. Add in a million illegal aliens who legally or illegally vote Democratic (or at least inflate the census in Democratic strongholds) and this country changes.
Like Trump, Musk has made and lost a lot of money as an entrepreneur. Musk’s Neuralink effort aimed to implant AI chips into humans, allowing them to connect their brains to computers. If Musk is going to implant chips in humanity, I’d rather have Doritos.
Mr. Musk is a hero to educated, rational people. He overpaid Twitter to protect free speech (he paid $44 billion and is now worth an estimated $9 billion). No one has paid this much since someone gave Kamala Harris a “penny for her thoughts.”
Perhaps Mr. Musk can buy the European Union and restore free speech there. America and Europe woke up and became sensitive to PCs and snowflakes. Next thing I know, I won’t be able to make fun of myself or offend others.
All of these movements continue while the victims of Helen, which devastated the South, are deprioritized. Musk went there and provided Starlink satellite internet to the victims. Trump provided food. We are sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine, Lebanon, Niger, etc., while our own victims received $750 each from FEMA. Maybe North Carolina and Georgia should change their names to Southern Ukraine to get money from Democrats.
Perhaps the unequal treatment of people in the rural, mountainous regions of Appalachia is the Democratic Party’s plan to not only suppress their votes, but to eradicate the possibility of another J.D. Vance emerging from them again from the foothills. Maybe.
Melania Trump, along with Elon, is campaigning for Donald Trump while promoting her own book. In her book, she details her encounter with Trump at Fashion Week in 1998. Donald was on a date and managed to obtain Melania’s phone number without his date’s knowledge. He dodged daggers and bullets long before he posed an existential threat to the Deep State.
Musk and Trump are true American success stories, with six marriages between them. Musk has 12 children with these three women, while Trump has five. Wedlock doesn’t work well with these selfish, pushy, bold business types, actors, comedians, and artists. No one was surprised when Hitler committed suicide 20 minutes after marrying Eva Braun.
Elon made and lost billions, had three ex-wives, his Tesla crashed, and part of his X rocket also broke. Ever the innovator, Elon is now creating a genre of country music that didn’t exist before.
