Donald Trump’s team for the elections
Donald Trump is beginning to assemble the team that would accompany him to return to the White House if he wins the next election. Surprising names have been mentioned who could be part of his inner circle in the event of a victory in November.
According to reports from The Wall Street Journal, the Republican magnate would have contacted Elon Musk, owner of Twitter (currently .).
The relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk
Although it may seem unexpected, the possible inclusion of Elon Musk in Trump’s team is explained by the ideological affinity that Musk has shown towards the extreme right in recent years, as well as his closeness to allies of the former president.
Elon Musk has endorsed the Republican Party in previous elections and has expressed support for far-right leaders, putting him ideologically closer to Trump.
Shared positions
Both Trump and Musk share positions against unions and have been critical of Joe Biden’s government, which shows similarities in their political and economic approaches.
Despite these similarities, the relationship between both businessmen has not been free of disagreements, as evidenced when Musk distanced himself from the Republican administration over its position on the Paris Agreements.
Verdict pending in Trump trial
In a parallel context, in New York the verdict of the criminal trial against the former Republican president for the alleged falsification of documents to silence a porn actress and protect his presidential run in 2016 is awaited.
The jury in charge of this verdict did not reach a consensus on the first day of deliberation, requesting to review witnesses related to the case. The deliberation will continue in the coming days.
