Musk/Trump Feud Opens Opportunity [semi-satire]

On CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360," political commentator Van Jones urged President Donald Trump "to take this opportunity to win his feud with Musk by punishing all of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employees Musk left behind. Trump may be top dog right now, but he's only got a few years left to affect public policy. The much richer and younger Musk has 40 years left. Trump needs to recognize that these DOGE employees are dangerous."

"You think Trump should prosecute them?" Cooper asked.

"Yes. He needs to learn from the Biden Administration's lawfare against him and ramp up a similar campaign against the relatively poorer young folks still working to find waste, fraud, and abuse inside the federal government. These youngsters can't afford the lawyers Trump could to help him avert a disastrous outcome when he was Biden's target. Trump could totally wreck their lives and send a strong message to Musk. Additionally, Trump could have Musk deported. I hear Russia has already offered Musk asylum. Getting Musk out of the country could neutralize Musk's long-term influence on the United States."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt predicted that "there is no way that President Trump would do any of the things that Van Jones has advised. The President appreciates what Elon has done to help America recover from the horrible policies of the Democrats. He's not going to let a disagreement over the strategy for winning the battle to rescue the economy divert him from doing what's best for America. He is confident that the Big Beautiful Bill is the best first step we can take at this time. The economic boom it will stimulate will make many of the other cuts in spending that Elon and his DOGE team have recommended easier to achieve in subsequent legislation."

Trump would do well to listen closely to whatever Van Jones advises him to do - and then do the exact opposite.
