Elon Musk: America Needs a Strong Leader—Trump Showed True Courage Under Fire

Elon Musk: America needs a strong leader.

“America needs a strong leader, where you have the perception of strength.

You have to admire that Trump, after getting shot, with blood streaming down his face – it could have been a second shooter, who knows – nonetheless, was fist-pumping 'Fight! Fight!'.

He's brave, he has courage. This is instinctual courage. It's not calculated. It's not some arranged event. You see true courage in the moment.

And you want a leader who's going to deal with some very tough cookies out there, who's going to deal with a Putin or Kim Jong Un or China. They will think twice about messing with Trump.

I think they will be intimidated by a guy who was fist pumping after getting shot.”
