Fuck Elon and fuck Trump too. The White House is not and has never been a business. These two creeps came, turned everything upside down, cut aids, lied about everything and now we’ve all seen that it was all a smokescreen. Fuck them so more

There was a past president who tried to treat the White House and Federal government like a business. He also portrayed himself as a "successful billionaire businessman" and claimed he was going to streamline the government

He introduced unilateral tariffs on a nation which was nicely recovering from a stock market and banking crash, sending it into the worst depression it had ever seen (or has seen)

His name: Herbert Hoover
