I wasn’t watching that crap show!

I wasn’t watching that shit show. Let me be honest — Trump is not my President. My president is Biden. My president is Obama. My president, the first one I voted for, is Clinton. I voted for Hillary Clinton. I voted for Kamala Harris. I wanted change and got more of the same.

Even in the above picture from ABC News, I see Elon Musk standing behind J D Vance and Trump’s youngest child, Baron. Why is Elon even standing that close? He’s not a part of the administration or the family. Why does he get to watch Trump get sworn in? Where’s Vivek? Where’s the rest of the clown cabinet? They should have been right there as well. I guess Elon received the privilege because he bought the election (and possibly rigged it) for Trump.

It makes me sick (literally) to see history repeating itself. Trump had one term, which should have been it—no more Trump. But no, a large portion of the populace voted for this liar, thief, and sexual assaulter. They didn’t want a woman, a Black woman, a woman of color, to run the country. First, it was Hillary who got screwed by Trump and Russia. Now, it’s Kamala being screwed by Trump and Elon. How can the United States call itself a superpower, a first-world country, and never elect a woman as president?
