In a phone conversation this morning, @realDonaldTrump told me @elonmusk is “the man who has lost his mind.” Trump did not, however, seem angry or even concerned about the feud. As for reports that there is going to be a Trump/Musk call scheduled for today, Trump told me he is “not particularly“ interested in talking to Musk although he says Musk wants to talk to him.
.@GrahamDavidA on Trump's weak negotiating skills:
"He's a desirable foil because he doesn’t know his material well, has a short attention span, and can be easily manipulated.
"Remarkable that it’s taken this long for Wall Street to catch on." https://t.co/Tf6TV58HCa
Twenty years ago today, "Kremlin Rising" was published, our effort to document how Vladimir Putin had rolled back Russian democracy and consolidated power in his own hands. Two decades later, his grip appears as firm if not firmer than ever. @sbg1
What infuriates me so much about this operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. ICE itself is effectively encouraging people to violate the law.
People around the world are starving now because of Musk’s cuts. They are dying of disease because of Musk’s cuts. They are being born with diseases they will carry with them for the rest of their lives because of Musk’s cuts. https://t.co/e73F2vMKBL
They don’t want this man speaking to the international press or the American public about the horrors he’s endured—assuming he’s even still alive. You can’t trust a word this administration says.
