It's Rand Paul and Elon Musk vs. Donald Trump Over the 'Big Beautiful Bill'

Very misleading title.

Trump said the Senate should indeed make the BBB better.

Elon criticized Congress, not Trump.

From the above facts, it looks like it's Trump and Elon against do-nothing Rand.

You might be right about the wrangling.

Will GOP leaders put a flawed bill to a vote? I dont know. I can’t predict what Thune will do

If it goes to a vote it can be defeated.

More likely horse trading takes place like you say and it doesn’t get a vote if defeat is certain.

Trump is not a preson who says, OK I’ll give up this very important thing in order to get this other very important thing. He wants it all. That’s the art of the deal. Anyone who thinks Elon and Trump aren’t together on this hasn’t been paying attention to the relationship between the two men.

The idea of the leftists is to talk this into a battle between Trump and Musk. People shouldn’t fall for it. It isn’t.

They want a huge divide and rift. Have any of us actually seen what is in this bill yet?

I am sure the bill is a pork filled mess and Congress has once again blown it.

Elon was not angry at Trump. But the left wants them to be.

Just wait until Lindsay pushes his Big Veto Proof Ukraine funding bill.

The taxpayers will be able to use the money saved by not passing the BBB and fund the Ukraine war instead.
