In an electrifying segment on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” former President Donald Trump showcased unwavering confidence in Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), despite a chorus of naysayers pointing fingers over alleged overreach. While critics on the left have come out swinging, claiming Musk is stepping outside his bounds, Trump couldn’t help but highlight the incredible achievements the tech titan is pulling off.
Notably, host Maria Bartiromo reflected on the astounding revelations Musk and DOGE have unveiled, suggesting that many Americans were blissfully unaware of the financial shenanigans lurking underneath the surface. Trump wasted no time jumping into the conversation, declaring Musk’s findings as “unbelievable” and implying that they expose just how deep the swamp really goes.
The former president unleashed an impressive list of potential taxpayer dollars wasted on outlandish contracts, including the baffling expenditure on “transgender surgery on mice.” One has to wonder if the animals are even asking for these procedures. Trump pointed out that with such a monumental level of spending, it’s clear that much of the allocated money is funneling back to those who made the deals in the first place. How convenient for the swamp-dwellers!
Moreover, Trump noted Musk’s radical approach to efficiency, suggesting that the standard recommendation to trim workforce numbers by a meager 4% pales in comparison to Musk’s bold recommendation of cuts ranging from 50% to an astonishing 70%. In Trump’s view, this boldness is a game-changer, and it’s exactly the type of out-of-the-box thinking America needs to right the financial ship and level the playing field.
With all this happening, one can only hope that such bold leadership by Musk will inspire others in the government to follow suit. After all, who doesn’t want to see someone take the axe to the wastefulness in Washington? While the left continues to throw shade, it seems Trump and Musk are busy lighting the path to accountability. And if they keep this up, the swamp just might find itself a little shallower.
