Reporter Asks Trump About Musk & Rubio Clash Claim, He Replies ‘You’re a Troublemaker’
The White House has been abuzz with rumors of a clash between billionaire Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and US President Donald Trump has weighed in on the matter. When a reporter asked about the report, Trump dismissed the claim, calling the reporter a “troublemaker”.
The controversy began when The New York Times reported that Musk and Rubio had a heated exchange at the White House, with sources claiming that the two had a disagreement over climate change. The report sparked widespread speculation about the nature of their relationship and the potential impact on their work in the Trump administration.
However, when a reporter asked Trump about the report during a recent press conference, he was quick to downplay the allegations. “No clash,” Trump said firmly. “I was there. You’re just a troublemaker.”
Trump’s response was met with a mix of surprise and amusement from the press corps, with some reporters visibly taken aback by the President’s tone. However, Trump was adamant that there was no clash between Musk and Rubio, and that the two were in fact getting along just fine.
“Elon gets along great with Marco and they’re both doing a fantastic job,” Trump added, seemingly putting the matter to rest.
The report that sparked the controversy claimed that Musk and Rubio had a heated exchange during a meeting at the White House, with the two disagreeing over the best way to address climate change. However, Trump’s denial of the report has cast doubt on the accuracy of the story.
Musk, who is the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, has been a vocal advocate for action on climate change, and has been a key player in the Trump administration’s efforts to address the issue. Rubio, on the other hand, has been a vocal skeptic of climate change, and has been a key player in the administration’s efforts to roll back environmental regulations.
Despite the controversy, both Musk and Rubio have continued to work together on climate change issues, with Musk playing a key role in the administration’s efforts to promote electric vehicles and renewable energy.
The report of a clash between Musk and Rubio is just the latest in a series of controversies to hit the Trump administration, with many critics accusing the President of being divisive and prone to outbursts.
However, for Trump, the controversy seems to be a minor blip on the radar. As he so aptly put it, “You’re just a troublemaker” – a response that has sparked both laughter and outrage from the press corps.
As the controversy continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the Trump administration is not afraid to speak its mind, even in the face of controversy.
