#Latest news with #publicvisibilityWashington Post4 days agoPoliticsWashington PostMusk already lost his war against TrumpThere is only one person who is unquestionably able to both maintain a high level of public visibility and stay on President Donald Trump's good side. That person is Donald Trump. Everyone else who sidles up to him suffers from the deficit that they are not Trump himself. They therefore risk discovering that Trump has suddenly turned against them, bringing his fervent base of support — tens of millions of Americans strong — with him. Options from that point are limited: obsequious efforts at reintegration with the president or lining up for one of the modest but endless slots reserved in the public conversation for Trump's former allies.
