Haberman: Trump Isn’t Eager to Shove Musk out Even if a Number of Trump Advisers Are ‘Tired’ of His Presence
EXCERPT:
HABERMAN: "Well, a) I don‘t think there‘s a huge difference between the 130 days and six months, but I think that, look, you know, Trump is certainly aware that this has been a turbulent period. I don‘t think that he wants to spend the entirety of the next year-and-a-half leading into what is likely to be a challenging midterm cycle debating questions about Elon Musk‘s approach to shrinking the government, which has been commonly described as with a chainsaw, as opposed to, in Trump‘s word, with a scalpel. And, you know, Trump would, I think, like something more precise, but he does see advantages in having Musk around. I don‘t think that he is eager to shove him out. I do think there are a number of Trump advisers who are tired of Musk‘s presence, and I think that is going to continue as long as Musk is there."
