He's practically begging people to call their representatives to "KILL the BILL."

We finally got Trump on record about the drama: "You saw a man who was very happy when he stood behind the Oval desk. Even with a black eye. I said, 'Do you want a little makeup? We'll get you a little makeup.' He said, 'No, I don't think so,' which is interesting and very nice. He wants to be who he is, so you could make that statement, too. Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore."

He also explained why he thought Elon was mad at him: "I'm very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here. Better than you people. He had no problem with it. All of the sudden he had a problem, and he only developed the problem when he found out we're gonna have to cut the EV mandate because that's billions and billions of dollars."

He responded, "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate."

"This will enrage Trump more than anything Elon could ever say about the actual bill," one person said.

"When divorcing parents fight in public it only hurts their children," another person joked.

And this person said, "How long before Trump drops a nickname like 'Diaper Elon' and posts it in ALL CAPS at 3am?"
