Hitler looked better at doing it.

Elon Musk was incredibly uncoordinated in his display.

To be fair, he is literally not good at anything.

The 4 year myth needs to be dispelled. There is no magical reset button every 4 years. Damage done can't be magically erased at the end of a 4 year period.

We're entering a period of American decline that's going to last a lot longer than 4 years. Buckle up. As shitty as the 2000s have been for a lot of us, we're going to look back at the early 2000s as a golden age.
