"If Donald Trump were not fine with it, trust me, he would publicly and vociferously muzzle Elon Musk."

Gordon Sondland, Trump's former ambassador to the EU, tells @vicderbyshire.bsky.social the president-elect is "clearly fine" with what Musk has been tweeting about the UK.

Mr. President, can you rule out [crazy thing]?

Normal president, thinking like a national leader, aims to reassure and avoid craziness in anticipation, says yes.

Trump, thinking like a TV producer, aims for current and future attention, says no.

Have to adjust questions to the new reality, media.
Q: Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of areas like Greenland or Panama you are not gonna use military or economic coercion?

TRUMP: No. I can't assure you. I'm not going to commit to that. It might be that you'll have to do something.
