I definitely voted for him. So … I’m pretty happy today 🥰

It isn't referring to the election

Jesus wept, will he ever fu(king shut up!?

Trump says "a short time from now" he will rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.

Also says that he will change the name of Denali back to Mt. McKinley.

The new president says the US will "take back" the Panama Canal.

Donald Trump says he wants to "plant the Stars & Stripes on the planet Mars"

Drill baby drill

Good luck America

Donald Trump says he wants to "plant the Stars & Stripes on the planet Mars"

Personally ?

Now that I can get behind. All of a sudden I might find something to like about Musk and Bezos.

Surprised he didn't burst into flame on crossing the threshold! Though that could be said for half the congregation to be fair!

We're fucked, aren't we?

Trump pulling the US out of the Paris Climate Agreement for the second time.

Joining Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only countries outside the agreement.

Well, here we go.

Day 1 Trump 2.0
652 days till Midterms
1,387 days till the 2028 election
1,461 days till Inauguration Day

I've been away all weekend, and walked through the door to dh saying (after hellos etc, scrotum is not that important) " Bloody hell, have you heard him? He sounds like Hitler". I didn't have to ask who he was talking about.

Musk just did the nazi salute

😱

Good news - almost down to 1460 days now. Should we start a count down, like they had in Hong Kong to mark the days til the handover back to China?

Really???

Twice

In what context? I guess he wasn't saying "Boys and girls, this is what you mustn't do"?

And the second one

Well, I have to say I didn't actually have that on my Day 1 Bingo card.

Err...
CNN saying it may have been more of a heat of the moment Sieg Heil than an actual Sieg Heil

Other descriptions

odd looking salute
accidentally gives nazi salute
mimics nazi salute
gesture drew comparisons

I intend to post a regular countdown, to pass the time if nothing else!

Extra-ordinary behaviour from Musk - maybe he's got a tic disorder

Telegraph is calling it a 'Roman' salute

Course it is.

The Telegraph hasn't exactly been notable for accurate reporting recently.

I know it's long been known as the Torygraph, but there's being slightly biased, and there's deliberately misleading your readers. I've had the pleasure of having to check a few articles recently, and they've been well over the line into actively misleading.

I saw a picture of Musk shaking hands with a Rabbi earlier today, I hope damn well he makes a statement condemning Musk.
