This entire Elon Musk controversy is contrived, foolish, and peddled by activists ignorant of American history.

 
"The country's under assault," the poltroons wail, "the Constitution is being trashed!" All because President Trump appointed a billionaire to analyze wasteful federal spending.

 

So, here's the truth. What Mr. Trump has done is the same thing FDR and JFK did. No difference whatsoever.  President Roosevelt brought in a fellow New Yorker named Harry Hopkins in 1933 to advise him on how to deal with the Great Depression. Hopkins had enormous power and even lived in the White House during World War II.  Roosevelt also hired some of his Harvard pals to assist Hopkins.  All were unelected and not confirmed by Congress.

 

President Kennedy followed FDR's playbook. He brought his Boston buddies to Washington. Dave Powers, Kenny O'Donnell, Theodore Sorensen.

 

Recently, there is compelling evidence that White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain actually ran the entire country under an often confused Joe Biden.

 

Do you think the anti-Musk/Trump cadre cares at all about that? They don't. Most have no interest in pursuing the truth.  Way too hard.

 

I don't know Elon Musk. This Doge business might pay off, it might not.

 

But it deserves a chance.

 

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
