“Fox & Friends” host Lawrence Jones said Friday that Democrats have contradicted themselves by claiming President-elect Donald Trump is a dictator while also arguing that tech billionaire Elon Musk is pulling the strings.
Democrats, who spent months ahead of the election warning Trump is a want-to-be dictator, have argued that the president-elect has ceded his power to Musk in response to the downfall of the House’s continuing resolution (CR). Jones said Democrats cannot have it both ways, stating Trump is either a dictator who will seize all power or he has allowed Musk to take influence on major policies.
“The last thing I’ll say on this, because a lot of people are out there saying that Elon Musk is the president-elect. The Democrats have to pick a talking point,” Jones said. “Either Donald Trump is gonna be a dictator on day one and run everything and ruin the infrastructure of the country, or he’s ceded his power to Elon Musk. It can’t be both.”
Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal expressed concern that Trump has “ceded” his power to Musk and is allowing the tech billionaire to act as a “shadow president” during a CNN segment on Thursday. Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed Musk is puppeteering Trump ahead of his upcoming presidential term.

Vice President Kamala Harris and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre asserted in October that Trump is a “fascist,” citing accusations made by his former chief of staff John Kelly that the president-elect praised Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. Democratic New York Rep. Dan Goldman warned that Trump intends to become a “dictator” in response to the now-president-elect’s claim that Americans will not have to vote again if he is reelected because the nation will be completely fixed.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
