WHITE: The Trump coalition is beginning to fracture, and in a lot of ways, there is historical precedent for this. Trump and Grover Cleveland have a lot in common besides serving non-contiguous terms as president.

Musk promised to campaign against Republicans who voted for the bill, and Trump pondered whether to deport the South Africa-born billionaire. But after Musk announced over the weekend the formation of his planned third political party, the “America Party,” Trump seemed to feel less love or hate than pity.

"I think it'll help us," Trump said about Elon Musk's "America Party." He added that "third parties have always been good for me."
