Some within the political punditry class of Americans are beginning to speculate over many folks predicted would happen once Donald Trump took the oath of office as POTUS.<\/p>\n

There’s been some legitimate reporting that Elon Musk, the de facto co-president, might be on the way out at the West Wing.<\/p>\n

I haven’t heard much conjecture yet as to why Trump and Musk will part company. I do have a theory. It is that Musk is stealing Trump’s thunder.<\/p>\n

Some of us have begun referring to the administration as the Musk-Trump administration. You know what that does to any ego-driven politician in America? It sends them into orbit. If that’s what is happening with Trump, well, I don’t blame him one bit for getting upset.<\/p>\n

Americans voted for Trump, not the world’s richest man, as president. I wasn’t one of them, but that’s not the point. I accept the verdict of the slim majority of Americans who cast their lot with the twice-impeached, convicted felon who won the 2024 election. I still believe they made a mistake, but the results were certified and entered into the record.<\/p>\n

The White House, quite naturally, says Trump is standing by Musk. But anyone whose butter hasn’t slipped off their noodle knows of Trump’s mercurial temperament.<\/p>\n

Which is to say that today’s statement of loyalty and support by Trump can turn the next day into a social media pink slip.<\/p>\n\n
