Elon Musk called 'President' as Trump follows in his footsteps on CR Bill
Speaker Mike Johnson may now be forced to cut the nearly $100 billion in aid from the bill after Trump and Musk blocked the measure.

Democrats and some Republicans are calling Elon Musk "president" after he led the charge against a Republican-backed government funding bill, possibly sending the government into shutdown over the holidays.
Lawmakers are lining up to attack Donald Trump and Musk after they came out against a short-term spending compromise orchestrated by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson to keep the government open until the president-elect's new term.
Pretty hypocritical given that the media has known for years, and admitted months ago, that the President - whose name is Joe Biden - has not been fit for office and is being managed by a shadow executive committee of some sort.
Trump is assembling a team of like-minded leaders to carry out the mandate that the people overwhelmingly gave him this year. Does it mean that any of them are the president? No, but it’s fun to watch Democrats spin new lies.
As to the CR itself, I actually could care less whether they pass it or what it may look like. If they don’t pass it and the government is “shutdown“ that will just be another opportunity to learn how little the government does. Either that or we will learn is willing to say they shut down when they are not. Most likely it will be a combination of those two.
I am looking forward to them rerunning that heartbreaking story about the guy who gives mule excursions in Yellowstone Park. Or maybe this time it will be about blind people who have to close their federal building news stands.
It will be a little schadenfreude type fun to watch Democrats cry over The shutdown! Always fun to ask them what the actual downside is to shut down and hear them say:
“it’s a shut down.! The government! Is… Shut down! Shut. Down.
“Why, the federal employees who have been sitting at home and collecting paychecks will now have to sit at home and wait for the paychecks to come later! Waaah!”
