Donald Trump is notorious for suing people for defamation. And yet he has never sued anyone for defamation who accused him of being a pedophile. Trump is notorious for never letting go of a grudge. And yet he never mentions the men who supposedly tried to assassinate him. He'll never admit why.

Elon Musk is despicable. Because he is a crazy white supremacist, he killed hundreds of thousands of people in Africa by having his DOGE teens cut aid for food and medicine. And because he is a crazy authoritarian, he has now killed Ukrainians by hindering their ability to anticipate air strikes.
