Summary

Rachel Maddow criticized Trump’s leadership as “decorative,” arguing that DOGE and Elon Musk wields real power while Trump focuses on publicity stunts.

On her MSNBC show, she described Musk as overshadowing Trump, making him appear “weak” and sidelined.

She mocked Trump’s obsession with “big maps” and suggested Musk is effectively running the government.

In response, Trump lashed out on Truth Social, calling MSNBC a “threat to democracy” and urging Musk to “GET MORE AGGRESSIVE,” despite reports of declining approval ratings.

    Rachel Maddow and her blistering burns aren’t going to stop trump or save us from musk. They’re throwing sticks and stones while she’s throwing words that’ll never hurt them.

    We need actual action. Ideally from elected officials pushing back, public figures, and every citizen refusing to be sucked into the MAGA cult and their objectives.

      It’s performative bullshit. ‘Blistering burns’ is harmless to the power stranglehold Republicans and Democrats have over the population.
