President-elect Donald Trump dismissed the idea that he is being overshadowed by ally Elon Musk, who helped stall a spending measure. Trump assured that Musk cannot be president due to not being a natural-born citizen. Speaking at a conservative conference in Phoenix, Trump exclaimed that the golden age of America is here. He mentioned his plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and end the war in Ukraine. He also criticized Panama for allegedly charging excessive fees for using the Panama Canal.
Trump outlined a new campaign to discourage drug use by highlighting its negative effects. He addressed a recent government shutdown threat in D.C., which was averted due to negotiations on spending. Musk had a role in this event and has been tagged as “President Musk” by Democrats attempting to cause a rift. However, Trump has shown no animosity towards Musk and acknowledged their shared interests.
Musk played a significant financial role in getting Trump elected and has been appointed to head an office aimed at reducing government inefficiencies. Speaker Donald Trump Jr. and Senator Markwayne Mullin defended Musk’s role in eliminating government waste. Trump seemed in a good mood at the conference, joking with Senator Ted Cruz and addressing past assassination attempts. Overall, Trump seems content and is embracing his upcoming presidency.
