Donald Trump's Petty Reaction To Elon Musk Being Featured On Time Magazine's Cover Is Going Viral
Last week, the internet couldn't stop laughing at Time magazine's newest cover featuring Elon Musk sitting behind the Resolute desk as president, a clear nod toward Musk's growing power in the Trump administration.
Well, Trump has responded to the Time magazine cover featuring "President Elon," and his reaction is going viral.
In a video seen by over 1 million viewers, Trump is asked by a reporter: "Do you have a reaction to the new Time magazine cover that has Elon Musk sitting behind your Resolute desk?"
"No," President Trump said, shaking his head and sighing.
After a few moments passed, Trump jokingly asked: "Is Time magazine still in business? I didn't even know that."
After the press laughed, Trump continued, praising Musk: "Elon is doing a great job. Uh, he's finding tremendous fraud and corruption and waste."
Well obviously, the internet has thoughts about Trump's reaction:
"oh he's triggered," one user wrote.
"Oh he’s SO bothered by it," former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan agreed.
"Odd that he asked if @TIME was still in business when they literally just named him person of the year. You just can’t make this stuff up," this user pointed out.
"Anything thing that clearly embarasses him is a great and wonderful thing. More of this," this user said.
"... AND it was thoughtfully translated into Japanese so Prime Minister Ishiba could appreciate and enjoy Trump's obviously pained reaction," another person pointed out.
And lastly, this person wrote what everyone is thinking: "He should maybe grab the reins if he doesn’t like Musk running the show."
I'm cracking up at the chaos!
