They did exactly what they wanted him to do. Now they want to make him out as the bad guy and use him as the fall guy so they look better.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's gotta hurt bad to be rejected by the likes of Trumps cabinet. Lol
He will be back next week.
He was in the white house today during Trump's press conference.
I know he's not going anywhere, but we've all seen how fragile his ego is, so you know it's hurt his feelings.
I'm generally very sensitive to seeing people sad or upset. But there are a select few demons out there that it gives me pleasure. Small victories
Bro is on a massive amount of ketamine right now just to cope, I'm sure.
Lol we are supposed to believe Musk bought a presidency and is going to just leave his money-making rule-breaking new toy alone?
Yeah right, and monkeys could fly out of my butt.
Well, at least we can all agree with Scott Bessent on something.
Makes sense that he's now saying no more politics. I'd say he should throw money at the Dems except Lord knows those people don't need more billionaire donors, either.
Can we just have a government of the people, please?
