President Donald Trump is not mad about his ugly and public break up together with his billionaire benefactor and now-former co-President Elon Musk.
He’s effective! Every thing is okay! By no means been higher!
No less than, that is what he referred to as a number of reporters on Thursday and Friday to insist upon, as Individuals level and snigger that Trump’s sugar daddy is now trashing Trump’s signature piece of laws, drawing consideration to Trump’s ties to famous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and even calling for Trump’s impeachment.

Bash recounted her dialog with the scorned commander in chief: “He said, ‘He’s got a problem. The poor guy’s got a problem.’ I said, ‘So no call with Elon now?’ And he said, ‘No, I won’t be speaking to him for a while, I guess, but I wish him well.’”
He informed Politico’s Dasha Burns that his public breakup with Musk is “okay,” and that his presidency is “going very well, never done better.”
In a name with the New York Publish—which poked enjoyable at Trump’s break-up with Musk on the tabloid’s entrance web page—Trump mentioned he wasn’t shocked about the truth that his friendship with Musk went south.
“Nothing catches me by surprise. Nothing,” Trump informed the Publish, including that all the things is superior!
“The numbers are through the roof, the stock market is up, billions are pouring in from tariffs, and my poll numbers are the highest they’ve ever been. Other than that, what can I tell you, right?” Trump mentioned.
It’s as if he’s going by the 5 levels of grief in actual time. Denial (insisting that he’s not mad Musk is trashing him), and anger (insulting Musk as having misplaced his thoughts) are up first. We’ll see when he will get to bargaining, melancholy, and later, acceptance.
But it surely’s secure to say, if Trump is chatting with reporters to insist that he is effective and never interested by Musk, he’s completely interested by Musk—who might use his immense wealth to go after Republicans within the 2026 midterms.
In the end proper now, Trump is the dwelling embodiment of the notorious Dril tweet :
