Maggie Haberman Names 2 Narcissistic Reasons For Trump’s Zelenskyy-Musk Phone Move
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Maggie Haberman put President-elect Donald Trump’s recent reported handing of the phone to billionaire X, formerly known as Twitter, owner Elon Musk during his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy down to two things. “I also just think it is that Trump likes to impress other people, and Elon Musk is the richest man in the world, and that’s one way of showing off for Zelenskyy,” Haberman told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “Musk’s various connections to the government and interest in government approvals and government contracts and so forth is going to be a big discussion in the coming months.” Watch here: Haberman earlier recalled how Trump would put his daughter and then-White House adviser Ivanka Trump on the line with global leaders following his 2016 election win over Hillary Clinton. Musk’s recent closeness to Trump and his campaign — including his financial backing during the final weeks of the election — would most certainly mean he’ll leave his imprint on a second Trump presidency “even if he never actually formally joins the government,” said Haberman.
