No! He should name the mountain “TRUMP ALASKA.”
This would be truer if the president were, you know, rooting for the nation.
L’État, ce n’est pas lui.
Not really a problem. The long term plan is to sell Alaska back to Russia anyway.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
At least Palin really will be able to see Russia then.
Good thing Elon “We [the United States] will coup whoever we want! Deal with it.” Musk doesn’t has any influence on the incoming administration whatsoever, then.
Between this nonsense and Trump continuing to call Canada a state and Trudeau “governor” is just further proof we really are in the dumbest timeline. How anybody could find this nonsense funny or endearing is a complete mystery to me. This isn’t strong man stuff, this is just stupid.
Schoolyard bullies who think they’re strong men always are.
welp, he’s off on Hannibal Lector again. and once again, it kinda seems he thinks he’s real.
Trump Credits Hannibal Lecter With Election Win in Bonkers Rally-Style Speech
We’re about a month off immigration control units being mobilized to hunt down imaginary serial killers if the president-elect’s latest speech is anything to go by.

Yes folks, Hannibal Lecter’s back, featuring prominently in a speech Donald Trump delivered on Sunday morning at a Turning Point Action Conference in Arizona, marking his first rally appearance since winning the presidential election earlier in November.
“We had some pretty good ads, right?” the Republican president-elect told the crowds. “We’ve explained what these people have done, right? I mean they’ve destroyed our country. Who would let millions of people pour in from prisons and jails and mental institutions and, I always say, insane asylums. You know, the press gave me a hard time because sometimes I’d use the word, a name, Hannibal Lecter.”
…
For just the briefest of moments during Trump’s latest address, it looked as if we were at last, finally, going to get to the bottom of all this. “They’d say, ‘why does he mention Hannibal Lecter? That has nothing to do with it’,” as the president-elect told the crowds.“I mean, are they stupid?”, he added. “The fact is that, we don’t want Hannibal Lecter, you know what that is, Silence of the Lambs, we don’t want Hannibal Lecter, Dr. Hannibal Lecter in our country, do we, huh?”
…
given that trump’s clearly addled, and fading, we should presume that there’s a lot of internecine warfare going on (musk vs vance/thiel?) as to who gets to be primary Grima Wormtongue to a rotted down Théoden (sorry to Tolkien-out there)
Does Lecter like orange food?
I could accept Musk as some form of inane Gríma, but Trump was never a Théoden or Saruman. At best he’s like if Bill Ferny were somehow put in charge.
He announced his plan to end drug abuse.
“We are going to advertise how bad drugs are for you,” Trump said. “They ruin your look, they ruin your face, they ruin your skin. They ruin your teeth. If you want to have horrible teeth, take a lot of fentanyl.”
And he reassured everyone Musk won’t be president.
Trump said the notion that he has “ceded the presidency” to Musk is a fiction and that even if Musk wanted the job, he couldn’t get it because of the Constitution’s requirement that the U.S. president be a natural-born citizen. Musk was born in South Africa.
“No, he’s not going to be president, that I can tell you,” Trump said. “And I’m safe. You know why he can’t be? He wasn’t born in this country.”
So he is a drug addict?
Good to know that Musk will not have that as his formal position. And we can be sure Musk isn’t ruling through Trump as a puppet, because if he were we would see him standing behind Trump with strings or sticks in his hands.
The fact that Trump is mentioning this shows it is annoying him.
