Trump 'is not king': Lawmaker slams Trump and Musk's government blitz

^{Published on 2025-02-05 15:00:38 - MSN}

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been leading a blitz in shutting down and gutting federal government agencies like USAID. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) joins Chris Jansing to criticize Trump and Musk's actions and explains how Democrats will fight back in Congress.

The video segment from MSNBC, titled "Trump is not king: Lawmaker slams Trump and Musk's government blitz," features Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) discussing the implications of former President Donald Trump's influence and actions post-presidency. Raskin criticizes Trump's ongoing attempts to exert control over government functions, particularly highlighting a recent meeting between Trump and Elon Musk, where they reportedly discussed ways to influence government policy and personnel. Raskin emphasizes that Trump's behavior, including his efforts to install loyalists in government positions, undermines democratic principles and the rule of law, asserting that Trump should not be treated as if he still holds royal or dictatorial powers. The segment also touches on broader concerns about the integrity of democratic institutions when faced with such maneuvers by influential figures like Trump and Musk.
