Trump and Musk Tell Sean Hannity the Media’s Trying to Break Them Up: ‘See It All the Time’

Hannity: “You’re both aware, you have to be keenly aware that the media and the punditry class — I think you’ve proven they have no power anymore because they threw everything they had at you and they didn’t win. And that was, you know, The New York Times, Washington Post, three networks, every late-night comedy show, two cable channels. They just, they threw everything. Lawfare, weaponization.”

Trump: “True.”

Hannity: “And now I see, they want you two to — they want a divorce. They want you two to start hating each other. And they try, oh, President Elon Musk, for example. You do know that they’re doing that to you?”

Trump: “Oh, I see it all the time. They tried it. Then they stopped. They have many different things of hatred. Actually, Elon called me. He said, you know, they’re trying to drive us apart. I said, absolutely. No, they said, we have breaking news. Donald Trump has ceded control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will be attending a cabinet meeting tonight at eight o’clock. And I say, it’s just so obvious. They’re so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it. They’re actually bad at it because if they were good at it, I’d never be president. Because I think nobody in history has ever gotten more bad publicity than me. I could do the greatest things, I get 98 percent bad publicity. I could do — outside of you and a few of your very good friends.”

Hannity: “Right.”

Trump: “It’s like the craziest thing. But, you know what I have learned, Elon? The people are smart. They get it.”

Musk: “Yeah, they do, actually.”

Trump: “They get it.”

Musk: “Yeah.”

Trump: “They really see what’s happening.”

Musk: “Yes.”
