HISTORICAL FACTS: Selling out ukraine is no path to peace | History Defined

President Trump took some questions on Tuesday as he finished yet another round of golf and wound up another long weekend at his Florida resort. Elon Musk was a big topic, which appeared to get on Trump's nerves, especially when a reporter wanted to know what position the multi-billionaire actually held now that the White House has said he is not actually running the DOGE department after all. He responded, "So, you know, you could call him an employee, you could call him a consultant, you could call him whatever you want... but you know what? Ukraine's a bigger deal."

He sounded quite irritated that they were asking him about such trivialities when he is the one who has world leaders quaking in their boots as he re-makes the whole world in his image. He's obviously delegated the wrecking of the federal government to Musk, to which he's only peripherally paying attention, so that he can concentrate on wrecking the world order. Both men are doing a bang-up job so far.
