Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.
“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.
“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added.
Trump also said he has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk after a feud between the two men erupted into public view earlier this week.
Cool, people not voting out of principle because they didn’t like the democrat enough is how the USA got here, but go ahead, keep trying that method.
At least Trump fixed all the overseas problems those people cared so much about, right?
I feel like the people not voting made it 100% clear what they were looking for. If they’re the deciding factor in who wins the election, maybe it was a massive fuck up to ignore them?
If it’s too small a group to matter, then stop focusing on them as the reason Dems lost. If they’re a major factor in the election, Dems should treat then that way.
They did make themselves clear and I respect them sticking to their principles if nothing else. I just hope it was really worth it to them if the republicans actually pull off a dictatorship like they’ve been promising. Like good job sticking it to those dems in the one election they might not ever get to rectify it.
And I hope it was worth it to them the people getting caught up in all the bullshit, such as having their lives ruined, being sent to prison for life, and dying, in the next 4 years regardless of whether they stay in power.
Again, at least the genocide they were worried about was averted, right.
We got here because Harris cared more about continuing the genocide than beating Trump. It’s Democrats’ fault for choosing to lose. He only got 49.9% of the vote, after all.
So you’d better make sure Musk doesnt make Liz Cheney the next Democratic nominee or I’ll vote PSL again, because I’ll choose to die before I vote for fascism.
I’m in Australia so I don’t need to make sure of anything over there, but I wish you all the best.
Why are you even here?
America can’t be world police for 60 years and then be surprised when other countries have opinions
Well, yeah, the US did coup Australia’s government that one time.
What I mean is, why are you commenting on voting? You know basically nothing about it. For instance, did you know Trump only won 49.9% of the vote this time? And the Republicans are calling it a mandate!
Not voting for the Dems WAS voting for fascism in 2024.
Harris’s stance on Israel.was bad. You know who is much, much worse? The person assholes like you empowered by throwing away your vote. And yo7 do this all the fucking time.
If 1% of the Green Party voters in Florida in 2000 had voted for Gore, Bush would never have been President, and all the bullshit that’s resulted from that nightmare wouldn’t have happened, and the country wouldn’t have shifted to the right.
It’s never Democrats fault that they lose, it’s only the voters fault for not being loyal enough.
Democrats can never fail, they can only be failed.
How incredibly short sighted. Parroting the dumb shit the algorithms plastered everywhere. Don’t misunderstand, it was a choice between eating a turd sandwich and accepting fascism but you decided you’re too noble to eat shit so now we’ll all live in it.
If you would stop eating shit for even one election cycle the Uncommitted Movement would have been able to force the Democrats to break with Israel. Democrats love Israel, and genocide, but if they knew for sure that they could never win any elections by supporting Israel they’d stop doing it.
Presuming they actually want to win, of course.
But because voters keep eating shit the Democrats were assured they could ignore the Uncommitted Movement and still beat Trump. And then they lost. And now elections are probably over forever and we’ll have to do something else now, so this argument is pointless.
If it were a normal opposition candidate I’d agree, I’m completely fed up with Dem leadership and think they should all be removed. I’ll gladly vote for third party and am planning to vote for Working Families candidates wherever possible going forward. But this was the one time it really mattered more to just have anybody but the opposition in office. This wasn’t some theoretical would be dictator, he’d already showed his true colors on Jan 6th. The time to fight Dem leadership isn’t at such a high stakes election.
Doesn’t matter anymore, elections are over.
My side failed to get Democrats to stop supporting genocide, your side failed to get Democrats elected. We both lost. I blame you for assuring Democrats that they didn’t need to stop supporting genocide to win, you blame me for not being a loyal voter, but it doesn’t really matter anymore because we both lost and elections are over. Probably forever.
It’s time to get over it and do something else.
How did this person assure democrats of anything?
Sounds more like you just fell for the propaganda you were spoon fed and you’re still out here defending your bad decisions.
Think critically. Listen to what the candidates themselves say and do, then make the best choice.
You did none of this last time.
I’m not going to get over it. Hundreds of thousands of people are already dying from this motherfucker’s actions, he’s announced plans to entirely remove all Palestinians forever to build fucking resorts. He’s disappearing people and arresting judges. He deployed the military against protesters.
We knew all of this would happen. He said he’d be a dictator starting day 1 and would devote his administration to revenge against his political opponents.
Bet you still chose not to vote against this. You actively chose this outcome. There’s blood on your hands, and you don’t get to wash it off.
