If you read his quoted statements in the OP you will see the "Royal we" occurs quite a lot!

Mad as a box of frogs!

What on earth are you talking about? To recap: My post consisted of 6 sentences. The first suggested that if there was " dirt" on Trump, then Musk would be aware of it. The next five sentences discussed the possible role played by money in the Trump/Musk relationship, particularly in view of the money Trump owes. Both your initial and this your latest response bear no relationship to that, but go off on utterly irrelevant tangents. That is why I suggested that you were "frothy mouthed"!

Umh, that wasn't really the point of my post was it, my frothy mouthed friend! Talk about not being able to see the wood for the trees! It was the opening sentence of a post, why not look further and read the following 5 or so - you might just realise what I was saying!

I am sure that if there is any dirt on Trump (and who can doubt that there is) Musk will have it. However it is even simpler, money. Musk funded Trump's campaign to get him elected. This is reinforced by the money Trump owes through court judgements - $580 million or so. Now maybe that amount will be reduced on appeal, but that is far from certain. Sooner or later the courts will come to collect. There is only one place or person that can produce the money - Musk.

With luck it will be finished in time for Melania to dance the night away with Gavin Newson at his inaugural bash in 2029! https://images.app.goo.gl/gkYmp6jCm6feAdo96

I believe Lazada may sell barge poles!

The voters put Trump into office. The office of the President. That office is constrained by the law. Trump and his regime took office fully intending to break the law. Less than 4 hours after swearing an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution he sat down and signed an executive order which removed a provision of the constitution. He started as he meant to go on...

Oh dear - dreams of chaps with leather miniskirts and bronze helmets have come to the fore!

Absolutely - watch out for priests with monogrammed briefcases ...

I heard a figure of 52000 jobs gone this week.

Dynamite in dermatology, now there is a thought! Personally I would have thought using dynamite on zits was a bit over the top!

Hmm, so all government spending funded by tariffs? Countries will eventually find other trading partners unencumbered by tariffs, so the money will dry up. I'm not sure whether the USA can actually supply anything that is absolutely not available elsewhere in the world, so your exports would be more vulnerable to retaliatory tariffs. Oh dear, more sources of money will dry up. The US dollar is the world's majority currency, because much trade involves the US, and is conducted in dollars. If that trade diminishes (as it will with tariffs) then the relevance of the dollar as a global currency will reduce. Now you may claim that you can fund all your needs education, healthcare, retirement provision, housing etcetera from your own income. But if trade dries up and jobs disappear, and incomes go, what then? North Korea imports little and exports even less. Poor people starve. What a powerhouse that is. I'm not suggesting that the USA will immediately turn into North Korea, but...

In Bob/Colin/BarBoy and goodness knows how many other aliases' case, Weymouth is the end of the line! You can't get much more "3rd worldish" than Portland on a Saturday night!
