Ready for the political soap opera of the year? Donald Trump, the US president, is not only willing to delay the deadline for Republicans to support the controversial tax and spending bill, but he has now threatened billionaire Elon Musk with deportation! Yes, you read that right. It all started when Musk publicly criticized the bill that increases the national debt by five trillion dollars and could potentially jeopardize health insurance for about 12 million Americans. Trump, like a character from a political thriller, said his administration will “consider the possibility of deporting” Musk, who was born in South Africa but is now a US citizen.
The budget, tax, and immigration bill, narrowly passed in the Senate 51 to 49, has caused a real storm within the Republican Party. While Trump praises the bill as “big and beautiful,” criticism keeps pouring in. Democratic senators slowed the process by demanding the entire bill be read aloud, which took a staggering 16 hours! And amendments that could cut Medicaid threaten healthcare for millions.
Elon Musk further threatened to fund opponents of Republicans who support this bill, calling it “the last thing I will do in this world.” Trump’s reaction? Deportation threats and accusations that Musk is funding Democrats.
This political drama is far from over. The Senate will continue debates and votes, while America wonders — is this just another example of how power and politics turn into a real-life soap opera?
