Washington, June 6 (CBS – In a phone conversation Friday morning, President Trump told chief Washington analyst for CBS News Robert Costa that he’s moving forward with his presidency today, and “totally” focused on domestic and foreign policy matters — not on Musk and their public feud. He also cast this moment as a positive one economically, even as many of his supporters and critics are paying close attention to Musk’s attacks on his administration.
“That’s all I focus on,” Mr. Trump said of his presidency. “I don’t focus on anything else. That’s why I have my highest poll numbers.”
“It’s going really well,” the president added. “The country is doing great, has never done so well. Jobs numbers are great, everything is good.”
According to two sources close to the president who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations, the atmosphere at the White House this morning is muted about Musk. The president, they said, is unhappy with him. But the president also finds him to be “immature” and “acting out,” as one source described Mr. Trump’s view of the situation.
“This is a fluid thing and a lot can happen. It’s wait and see, wait and see what happens, what Musk does, how the president digests it,” one of the sources said. “We’re all not going to get ahead of this and he’s just doing what he always does, be the president and keep on moving.”
