Michael Wolff: Trump is getting what he wants, conflict

from The Daily T

There's never a dull moment in the White House when Donald Trump is the president. Elon Musk yesterday began "offloading" from his role overseeing the 'DOGE' programme, after coming to the end of his 130 day limit as a special government employee. But rumours abound of a falling out between Musk and Trump, with the South African-born businessman criticising the president's "One Big Beautiful Bill" in an interview yesterday, claiming that the programme of massive tax cuts would actually raise the federal deficit, undermining his work cutting government spending.In this episode of The Daily T, Kamal Ahmed speaks to Michael Wolff - Trump biographer and author of four behind-the-scenes books about the president - to find out what really happened between Trump and Musk. They also talk about how the president will react to the shock news that his global tariffs have been blocked by a US federal court. We want to hear from you!
