When "President" Elon Musk and his puppet sidekick Donald Trump talk about making America Great Again, what they are really saying is Make America Great Again for our personal bottom line.
With Trump, along with his boss, Musk coming back to the White House, spineless political and corporate leaders, knowing where their bottom line is likely to be buttered these next four years, are bending the knee to the failed former President while also making donations to their inaugural and making reservations at Trump properties.
During his first term, Mr. Trump's various businesses took in almost eight million dollars in foreign payments.
After investing over $200 million in Trump's campaign, "President" Musk appears to be looking into the prospect of using his influence to enrich his financial ledger further.
But yeah, let's try to connect the dots on a useless years long investigation into Joe Biden and Burisma that have yielded...wait for it...nothing except a guilty plea from the Republicans informant for disinformation on the matter.
Enriching themselves and promoting more avenues for the spread of global disinformation were undoubtedly hidden reasons for both Musk and Trump to protest the original bipartisan budget agreement both men torpedoed last week before a revised funding measure passed through Congress meant to avoid a shutdown.
The original agreement contained provisions to restrict United States led companies from helping China achieve global technological superiority.
"President" Musk and other soon to be members of the Musk/Trump Administration, with their allegiance to power and the all mighty dollar, have extensive corporate ties to Chinese technology interests and that measure magically disappeared from the budget legislation.

So much for making America Great Again for all Americans. When they say it, it is make America Great Again for our bank accounts and personal influence. If China bests the United States in the technology revolution...so what.
Another measure that disappeared from the budget agreement was funding for the State Departments Global Engagement Center.
That entity, organized in 2016, was designed to detect and warn about global disinformation efforts from adversaries like Russia and China.
MAGA Republicans, whose political milk and talking points are provided by misinformation sources like Musk, Trump, and many of global misinformation venues, cried foul, screaming censorship and that the government was surveilling Americans (translation: potential foreign agents and criminals who are on our side.)
So with whining from Musk and Trump, provisions to restrict helping authoritarian Chinese technology interests and curb global disinformation efforts were stripped from a funding bill to give power cushions and financial gain to people, including Musk and Trump, who do not give a damn about American Safety and Greatness.
Only themselves.
People really need to read Sinclair Lewis's It Can't Happen Here because, news flash, it is.
People, through their representatives, need to prepare and peacefully oppose any Anti-American and Anti-Humane measure that the Musk/Trump Administration will try to impose on the American People and the country.
