Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent got into a heated shouting match in earshot of President Trump and other officials in the White House last week during a dispute about the IRS, two witnesses and three sources briefed on the matter tell Axios.
Someday in the medium-far future, after all the nurembergish trials and hangalangs feel like a distant memory, some producer and streaming service will reboot the West Wing, only it’ll be the Trump West Wing and those future people will get to watch the unbridled escapades and think that’s kinda just the normal way politics happened for us primitive morons.
Ha! Who am I kidding? Rampant accelerated climate change will ensure nothing of the sort ever happens. “Future people,” what a concept!
Veep stopped making episodes because he’ll headlines in the 1st Trump administration were crazier than what they could write.
Veep is tough to watch now. Even the zaniest most over-the-top scandals in the show are absolutely tame compared to reality. It’s almost boring to watch. Every episode is, “If this gets out my career is over!” when the exact same thing has since happened with a Republican politician and nobody batted an eye.
