“The spectacular fallout between Donald Trump and Elon Musk over the Big Beautiful Bill in particular (but deficit spending and debt accumulation in general) promises political watchers a big, ugly brawl.
Now, billionaire Musk appears to be serious about his proposed ‘third party,’ the ‘America Party.’ A name perfectly designed to ruffle Trumpian feathers. It might steal some of the thunder of ‘America First’ and ‘Make America Great Again.’ The president mocks the notion, saying that third parties ‘have never succeeded in the United States.’ Well, that is not exactly true. For a long time, it was second parties that had problems.” (07/10/25)
