Elected Republicans Don’t Know how to Govern; They are Welcoming a non-Elected Billionaire as Co-President

In a recent article, I discussed the fact that Trump and his party were apparently paying homage to Elon Musk; accepting him as their “co-president.” Today, the failures on the right side of the aisle confirmed by assumption.

"It's kind of interesting, we have a president, we have a vice president, we have a speaker. It feels like Elon Musk is our prime minister," Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) said in a CBS "Face the Nation" hit.

This comment by another fake Republican confirms my many and frequent allegations that Trump’s party does not understand how America’s government functions, and there are reasons the men and women who take up space in Washington are elected by the people, not chosen by a dictator or Fuhrer. Very soon our country’s people will experience the most incompetent and untrustworthy government in American history..

Musk succeeded with Tesla, although recent problems with his vehicles question their reliability, but he displayed a narrow and limited knowledge of anything else when he purchased Twitter. He continues to lose millions with his failed social media now called “X.”

Without any experience in government at any level, and having been born in Pretoria, South Africa, and moved later to Canada in 1988, he has no understanding about America’s government. He is another billionaire whose goals are focused on benefitting his personal ambitions, not the needs and wishes of 340 million people. Not growing up in America limits his knowledge about what it means to be an American citizen. The addition of Musk to Trump’s woefully unqualified team, is more proof that America’s voters made another serious mistake on November 5, 2024. Most voters choose to be ignorant, and this time it may cost them their freedom.

One of the many things which the mainstream media will not tell you is that our nation is no longer a capitalistic society: it has been a plutocracy for nearly 10 years. Republican’s unwavering support for the super-rich is responsible for Greedflation, and a diminishing quality of life for most Americans. Proof of this fact was confirmed by the fact that during the pandemic, when thousands of Americans lost their jobs and small businesses were facing permanent closure, the number of billionaires in the United States increased significantly.

Republican politicians refuse to vote based on the facts or simply to do the right thing. They vote based on the instructions they receive from lobbies and the CEO’s of major corporations. One fact I doubt anyone is aware of is that a plutocracy cannot last long without a fascist government to support its existence. This is wh This is why the super-rich will always support Trump and Putin.
