Trump Dragged for Letting "President Musk" Run the Government
While Republicans are quickly falling in line over Elon Musks missives, Democrats are pointing out that the unelected billionaire bureaucrat may have actually eclipsed Donald Trump.
The president-elect didnt deliver his opinion on the proposed continuing resolution until the end of the day Wednesday, when he demanded via his vassal JD Vance that Republicans raise the debt ceiling. Meanwhile Musk had already been ranting about it for hours online, threatening to unseat any Republicans who supported it.
During an appearance Wednesday night on MSNBCs The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell, Representative Dan Goldman pointed out that the president-elect was clearly no longer calling the shots.
Its not Donald Trump asking for this, its very clearly President Elon Musk asking for this. The fact that Donald Trump has been completely AWOL during these negotiations to the point where only after Elon Musk publicly tweets about his displeasure about this budget deal, all of a sudden, Donald Trump, chief of staff to Elon Musk, comes trotting in and blows up the deal, Goldman said.
