This is an opinion cartoon.

“Special government employee” is the title President Trump assigned to the world’s richest person who bought Trump’s presidency for $300 million and is now in charge of making life more difficult for America’s poorest people.

Elon Musk is Trump’s designated unelected billionaire oligarch wrecking ball. Take a picture. It’s what’s left of America. Democracy – this great experiment – is wheezing as it circles the drain under Trump 2.0.

Oh, and guess who now has access to your Social Security and bank account info? That South African guy who Trump is crushing on. Are you all OK with that weird foreign guy and his boy toys knowing your stuff?

Project 2025. Christian nationalism. It ain’t exactly Christian. It ain’t exactly patriotic. It’s ain’t right.

God help us.
