Elon Musk might have ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome'
New York Post's White House Correspondent Diana Glebova discusses the fallout between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
'I think the President touched upon some of these things, but it really started with the Big Beautiful Bill,' Ms Glebova told Sky News host Steve Price.
'When he left, I think that he got the sense that he had a little bit more freedom to criticise the President.
'With Musk going out after the bill, that made Trump really mad.
'He might have Trump Derangement Syndrome – that's what Trump said.'

Trump can bar AP from some media events for now: court
US President Donald Trump is free to bar the Associated Press from some White House media events for now, after an appeals court paused a lower court ruling mandating that AP journalists be given access. The divided ruling on Friday by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit temporarily blocks an order by US District Judge Trevor McFadden, who ruled on April 8 that the Trump administration must allow AP journalists access to the Oval Office, Air Force One and White House events while the news agency's lawsuit moves forward. The 2-1 ruling was written by US Circuit Judge Neomi Rao, joined by fellow Trump appointee US Circuit Judge Gregory Katsas. Rao wrote that the lower court injunction "impinges on the President's independence and control over his private workspaces" and that the White House was likely to ultimately defeat the Associated Press' lawsuit. The White House and a lawyer for the Associated Press did not immediately respond to requests for comment. In a dissent, Circuit Judge Cornelia Pillard, an appointee of President Barack Obama, said her two colleagues' ruling cannot be squared with "any sensible understanding of the role of a free press in our constitutional democracy." The AP sued in February after the White House restricted the news outlet's access over its decision to continue referring to the Gulf of Mexico in its coverage despite Trump renaming the body of water the Gulf of America. The AP's lawyers argued the new policy violated the First Amendment of the Constitution, which protects free speech rights. McFadden, who was appointed by Trump during his first term, said in his ruling that if the White House opens its doors to some journalists it cannot exclude others based on their viewpoints. Trump administration lawyers said the president has absolute discretion over media access to the White House and that McFadden's ruling infringed on his ability to decide whom to admit to sensitive spaces. On April 16, the AP accused the Trump administration of defying the court order by continuing to exclude its journalists from some events and then limiting access to Trump for all news wires, including Reuters and Bloomberg. Reuters and the AP both issued statements denouncing the new policy, which puts wire services in a larger rotation with about 30 other newspaper and print outlets. Other media customers, including local news organisations that have no presence in Washington, rely on the wire services' real-time reports of presidential statements as do global financial markets. The AP says in its stylebook that the Gulf of Mexico has carried that name for more than 400 years and, as a global news agency, the AP will refer to it by its original name while acknowledging the new name Trump has chosen.

El Salvador returns mistakenly deported man to face people smuggling charges in the US
Washington: The man mistakenly deported from Maryland to El Salvador by the Trump administration, has returned to the United States to face criminal charges of transporting illegal immigrants within the US, Attorney-General Pam Bondi said. Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case has become a flash point for escalating tensions between the presidency and the judiciary, which has blocked a number of Trump's signature policies. The US Supreme Court had ordered the Trump administration to facilitate Garcia's return, with liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor saying the government had cited no basis for what she called his 'warrantless arrest'. The return marks a turning point in a case that became a broader symbol of criticisms of US President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration policies. Critics, including many congressional Democrats, pointed to it as a sign that the administration was disregarding civil liberties in its push to step up deportations. But the administration insisted that Garcia was a member of the MS-13 gang, an accusation that his lawyers denied. It later said it had sent the man accidentally and couldn't bring him back. On Saturday (AEST), administration officials portrayed his indictment by a grand jury in Tennessee as vindication of their approach – even though the charges were filed on May 21, more than two months after his March 15 deportation. At a press conference, Bondi said Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele agreed to return Garcia to the after US officials presented his government with an arrest warrant. 'The grand jury found that over the past nine years, Garcia has played a significant role in an alien smuggling ring,' Bondi said at a press conference. Garcia will have the chance to enter a plea in court and contest the charges at trial. If he is convicted, he would be deported to El Salvador after serving his sentence, Bondi said.
