'Too old for the job' Trump nailed on MSNBC for letting Elon Musk fight his battles

Raw Story  

As part of a discussion on MSNBC on Saturday morning, the former head of the Republican National Committee suggested that Donald Trump is letting billionaire adviser Elon Musk call the shots because he's not the man he used to be. During a spirited debate over Musk leaning on GOP lawmakers to pass a budget bill to his and Trump's liking –– while also noting they had some disagreements about the debt limit –– MSNBC "The Weekend" co-host Michael Steele pointed out that Musk was the most prominent critic of Republicans who had agreed to a compromise deal with Democrats. With co-host Symone Sanders Townsend admitted she was surprising herself by defending the president-elect, she insisted that the billionaire Musk needs Trump more than Trump needs him. Elon Musk is playing the H-E-L-L out of Republicans in Congress and the president-elect, and I'm wondering when Trump is going to show up, honey."
