Things have gone from bad to worse for Donald Trump since his interview with Elon Musk in a desperate move to recapture the momentum that has slipped away from his tiny fingers,

0:11.6

Donald decided to return to X, which he vowed he'd never do, to make

0:15.8

his first post in 11 months and do a virtual interview with the right-wing billionaire, and as

0:21.6

you'll see, it turned out to be a complete and utter train wreck.

0:25.8

Now before we get into the interview which was filled with crazy statements and spray tanned

0:30.8

ramblings let me first give you the data on how poorly this event went for

Donald Trump numbers-wise.

According to Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell, the live stream maxed out at 1.2 million

0:41.6

1:39.6

picture of her on Time magazine today she looked like the most beautiful actress ever to live. It was a drawing. And actually, she looked very much like a great first lady, Malania. She looked, she looked, she looked, she looked, sheya, she didn't look, she didn't look like Camilla, that's right,

1:57.1

but of course she's a beautiful woman, so we'll leave it at that, right?
