Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putin’s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion.

As others have pointed out, if this was being done by Harris, and she enlisted George Soros to play the role of Musk, MAGA would be losing their minds.

"You cannot A-B test what happens when you dissolve USAID. Maybe you save a lot of money for two years or five years or twenty years, and the decision looks efficient. But then a crisis erupts." "Efficiency" does not straightforwardly apply to government.

No coincidence — Musk’s attack on the CFPB came as he cut a deal with Visa to go into a payment business the CFPB has been regulating to make sure people don’t get ripped off.
His companies have been investigated by many agencies he is dismantling.

Hey media — when Republicans claim they are so concerned about the debt, please ask them why they plan to back Trump’s trillions in tax cuts (for the rich) again if it’s such an emergency?
