As for the executive orders being signed at Mar-a-Lago, the White House had not provided immediate commentary. In the early weeks of Trump’s second term in office, he has employed executive orders to tackle a range of significant topics such as border security, environmental policies, and issues surrounding transgender rights.
During the interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity, which took place at the White House, Trump and Musk, head of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency, discussed Musk’s role in an initiative aimed at reducing federal expenditures and slashing the federal workforce.
Musk has faced scrutiny from Democrats and others regarding the strategies employed by his team at DOGE to decrease spending, particularly concerning foreign aid and staffing reductions throughout the federal bureaucracy.
The Fox News interview followed Musk’s recent appearance alongside Trump in the Oval Office, where they both defended Musk’s tactics in terms of federal budget cuts.
An excerpt from the interview released by Fox News indicated that Musk, who mentioned a shift in his popularity with the left, said, “They call it Trump derangement syndrome. You don’t realize how real this is until you can’t reason with people,” suggesting that rational discussions with Democrats about Trump have become increasingly difficult.
Tuesday evening, Mar-a-Lago will host an awards ceremony organized by America’s Future, Flynn’s group committed to upholding individual rights and fostering American ideals. The event will celebrate American exceptionalism and recognize members from the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Space Force.
Festivities at the event will include a poolside reception, live musical performances, and dinner in Mar-a-Lago’s Grand Ballroom. Notable presenters are expected to include personalities such as Russell Brand, Ted Nugent, and Mike Tyson.
It remains uncertain whether Trump will attend the awards event.
