Former President Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was almost killed weeks ago. And you thought Tom Cruise was cool because he does his own stunts.

Trump has survived character assassinations for eight years and at least two crazed gunman-type assassination attempts in 12 weeks. If the Dems want to severely hurt the 78-year-old now, they need to get him to take up pickleball, or hope that he chokes on dog meat when he visits Springfield, Ohio.

Elon Musk, the Thomas Edison of our time, joined Trump in Butler. Musk can’t currently build a self-driving candidate, so, like most of us, he will bite his tongue, close his eyes and vote for Trump. Musk realizes that Trump’s policies on the border, inflation, crime and economics are far better for us than Kamala Harris’.

Musk is the one endorsement that should mean more to Americans than any other. He is self-made, brilliant and transformative. He’s an immigrant, so the left would say Trump should hate him.

Musk bought his peace for years, as did Trump, by pretending to be a Democrat. Musk was the hero of the left when he was a Democrat. They have viciously excoriated him ever since he decided to think for himself. It has been the best trade in political history. We got Musk and they got the warmongering Cheneys.
