President and Newly Crowned Dictator Donald Trump held his first Cabinet meeting today, surrounded by his appointees plus Special Invited Ass-Kisser Extraordinaire, Elon Musk. The richest man in the world sat behind the Cabinet members, his entire body convulsing as if in spastic tremors until Trump invited him to speak about his DOGE initiatives. Wearing a black MAGA cap and dressed in fully-black sinister gear, Musk proceeded to explain how he would save the government 1 trillion dollars by firing millions of government employees who he felt were only “cashing a paycheck,” which Trump attributed to Biden’s waste management of the economy.
Playing in the background should have been scenes from Leni Riefenstahl’s “Triumph of the Will,” narrated by Goebbels himself, who also ran quite a propaganda machine, not unlike Musk’s X, replete with hate, slander, and misinformation.
Sitting next to Trump was Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, no doubt wondering when Happy Hour would finally come, while on his other side was Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, once called “little Marco” by Trump when they vied for the presidency. His abounding diplomatic grace and stature did not go unnoticed. Next to him sat RFK Jr. wondering when the road kill would be served up.
Looking around the table, I noticed one woman, surrounded by a real sausage fest of White Privileged Males.
The only concession seemed to be the crazy Black pastor who opened the proceedings with a long-winded prayer where he thanked the “Almighty Father” for giving the United States Donald Trump to lead it back to glory.
Where was Philomena Cunk when you most needed her on matters of faith?
But back to Musk, who has quickly become the most reviled person in the Western hemisphere, not only for his alliance with the Axis of Evil, but also for his basic human indecency. Watching this “meeting” unfold and listening to his ramblings, I realized that this roomful of oligarchs really gets off on the power they wield over ordinary citizens, that they take genuine pleasure in inflicting pain and ruin over the “commoners,” much like the lords of the manor in medieval times who would ride off for an afternoon of peasant raping and bashing. Likewise, Musk’s game of controlling a nation is an example of his short attention span and deep-seated boredom; after all, what do you get the man who has everything? Why, the blood of the serfs and poor underlings, of course!
Meanwhile, Trump, not to be outdone made little jokes that everyone obligingly laughed at. He rambled, he ranted, and his nose grew longer and longer with each lie and half truth. The media barely dared to ask him questions, probably fearing revenge and reprisal.
It was the Living Theater of 2025 only there was little life and no soul among the actors. America, this is your present and your future; this is what you asked for and desired so ardently.
Like Pinocchio, the wooden doll who woke up as a boy, Musk flattered, cajoled and praised his “Chief” while Trump beamed at his creation benignly.
Meanwhile, Musk humbly thanked the different secretaries for letting him do the country.
DOGE-style.
