[Hoot Gibson]

Communists and fake, allegedly former Republicans, cannot help themselves from exposing their deep-seated groupthink mental defect. They cannot fathom the concept of people finding common ground to work toward a shared vision, while openly disagreeing with one another on other issues on which common ground may be missing. While Musk and many conservatives are not sold on tariffs as a compelling path toward economic prosperity, he also understands that U.S. fiscal and regulatory policies of the past few decades are existential threats to the American way of life.

I honestly never believed that either major political party would make serious efforts to reduce budget deficits and make meaningful reforms before hyperinflation eventually destroyed our economic system. Whether Trump's efforts succeed or not, he is making the first serious effort to save this country from its own federal government in the past 60 years. Elon Musk has played a key role in those reforms, regardless of his position on tariffs.
