SCOTT JENNINGS: Now the hysterical liberal media is branding Elon Musk a NAZI! It's proof they'll never learn the real reason Trump won
The 45th and now 47th president took the oath of office Monday promising a 'revolution of common sense.' Predictably, the mainstream media punditry couldn't contain their disgust.
There's nothing they hate more than sound judgment.
'How is this happening in America?' lamented MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, before Trump's swearing-in.
'It is very hard for me to look at this spectacle of the takeover of the United States by a base mentality of greed and corruption,' ranted her colleague, Joy Reid.
The subtext of their commentary: How could the American people be so dumb?
That tells you everything you need to know about why the Left is in utter shambles – nothing more than a dejected bunch of backward-looking, narrow-minded scolds, perennially revolted by their fellow Americans. And obsessed with creating narratives that simply don't exist.
'Elon Musk appears to make back-to-back fascist salutes at inauguration rally,' blared a headline on The Guardian on Monday.
'Elon Musk Ignites Online Speculation Over the Meaning of a Hand Gesture,' squeaked the New York Times.

The unhinged effort to brand Musk a Nazi for expressing his gratitude to the crowd at Trump's afternoon rally is evidence that these liberal loons haven't learned a damn thing – always primed to condemn, censor, even smear.
Meanwhile, the Republican Party, at Trump's direction, has constructed a big tent – one large enough for RFK Jr and Elon Musk and the average shift worker. For the frat bros and the married women. For the young and old. For both genders and all races.
Trump's GOP represents the broad middle of America - and his hysterical enemies are the people you slowly inch away from at a cocktail party. The entire ethos of the modern Democratic Party is veiny red faces, bulging eyes and blood-pressure cuffs, obsessed with maligning Trump's character while never bothering to examine the flaws in their own leadership.
For years they've called Trump a corrupt grifter. They were delighted when a Manhattan kangaroo court convicted him of 34 felony counts in a case that should have (and would have) never been charged had the defendant's name not been Trump.
Well, they should – at long last – take a good hard look in the mirror.
For just minutes before Trump's inauguration as Biden slinked out of The White House for the last time, he of 'no one is above the law' and 'restore the soul of the nation' rhetoric dropped a bombshell for the ages by pre-emptively pardoning nearly his entire family.
Up until the very end, Biden reminds us that everything he has said about Trump – that he's a corrupt, self-interested liar who is only interested in the presidency to profit from it – was more of a confession than anything else.
As a disgraced Biden jetted off one last time in Air Force One, Trump got to work in a nearby arena, firing off executive orders. The flurry of executive activity on Day One is unprecedented. It is also a reminder that Trump is at the apex of his political power.
Beyond his gangster-like behavior, Biden's legacy will largely be defined as the president who ushered in a new Trump era of brash ambition.
His inaugural address was scathing. Only he would have the guts to indict Biden and the defeated Harris to their faces in the close confines of the Capitol Rotunda.
Joe and Kamala had to sit there – stone-faced – and just take it.
Sorry, Rachel, that's what America voted for.

Trump's speech wasn't flowery or sweeping in language; it was gritty, resilient, determined and audacious – perfectly reflective of what it means to be Donald Trump.
Indeed, the promise of this new administration is enormous.
A presidency is defined by how the chief executive reacts to events, and whether the president correctly interprets his mandate.
Biden failed on both fronts, governing from the far left after he promised to be a moderate, and nearly always reacting with ineptitude to world events.
But with today's executive action, it seems Trump already understands his mandate.
Economic relief to the working class, order on the US/Mexico border, rejection of the far-left cultural fever swamps and restoration of American prestige on the world stage.
And for at least two years his Republican Party controls the US Congress, too – a chance, beyond today's orders, to cement his electoral agenda into law. Extending the tax cuts, reforming the immigration system, and unleashing American energy production will all be on the menu for Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
Now, Trump—after the most incredible comeback in American political history—is back to pick up where he left off.
Welcome to MAGALAND: White House insiders reveal whats really going on behind the scenes in the new Trump administration. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
