president Donald Trump His former first friend, Elon Musk, criticized the start of a third political party, saying that such parties “never succeeded” with the summons of this “ridiculous” move.
Trump spoke with correspondents before climbing to the Air Force 1 in Pepsster, New Jersey, when he was asked about Musk’s transfer to the start of a third party.
“I think it is absurd to start a third party,” Trump said from the airport runway. “We have tremendous success with the Republican Party. Democrats lost their wayBut it was always a two -party system, and I think the start of a third party adds only to confusion.
“It seems that it has been developed for two,” the president continued. “Third parties have never succeeded. So, he could enjoy it, but I think it is ridiculous.”

Musk announced A new political party was called “America Party” on the social media platform X on Saturday.
The businessman described the party’s formation in a direct response to a corrupt political institution that no longer represents the American people.
This announcement came after a July 4 virus survey in X, where he asked Musk if the voters wanted independence from what he called “the two parties system (some may say.”

More than 1.2 million votes were made, 65.4 % said “Yes”.
“With a factor from 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you will get it,” Mousse was published on Saturday. “When it comes to bankruptcy of our country with waste and illegal gain, we live in a unilateral system, not democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to return you your freedom.”
Shortly after his attack with correspondents, Trump turned into the social truth to express his fears about musk, while giving an insightful look at what may lead to the two ways of separation.
“I am saddened to watch Elon Musk completely go” off bars, “the president said, and it has become a train wreckage in the past five weeks. “The only thing that benefits the third parties is to create complete and comprehensive turmoil and chaos, and we have enough of that with the left -wing extremist Democrats, who lost their confidence and minds!
“The Republicans, on the other hand, are a smooth” machine “, which just passed the largest bill of its kind in the history of our country,” Trump continued. “It is a great invoice, but unfortunately for Elon, it eliminates the mandate of funny electric vehicles (EV), which would have forced everyone to buy an electric car in a short period of time.”

Trump said that he “strongly opposes” EV’s authorization from the beginning, and the new draft law allows consumers to buy any type of vehicles they want, whether electric, gas or hybrid.
Trump said: “I campaign for this for two years, and completely frankly, when Illon gave me his full support and formation, I asked him if he knew that I would end the EV authorization – he was in every speech I gave, and in every conversation I made,” Trump said. “He said he had no problems with that – I was very surprised!”
Trump also said that Musk asked a close friend of NASA, but the president took a case with her when he discovered that the friend was a “blue democratic” that had never contributed to my fans.
“I also thought it was inappropriate for NASA to run a very intimate friend of Elon, who was in space, NASA, when NASA is a large part of the life of Elon,” he said. “My first fee is to protect the American public!”
Musk chose to create a new political party after expressing its strong fears with the “major and beautiful draft law” of the president, which was signed to become a law on Friday at the White House.
The sweeping legislation includes $ 3.3 trillion tax cuts, infrastructure spending and stimulus, and has attracted criticism from financial and liberal conservatives. Although Musk did not refer to the draft law directly at the positions of America, the timing indicates a high friction between billionaire and the president. Musk has previously warned that the unlimited spending by both parties threatens the health of the economy in the long run.

The new party, according to Musk sites, will target some of the main seats in Congress. The goal is to create a strong swing bloc enough to hold the balance of power and prevent what Musk sees the worst transgressions of both Republicans and Democrats.
Third parties Traditionally, it has difficulty obtaining a ground in American policy, as the system was built for two dominant parties. With the electoral college, the winning elections, and strict access laws to reach voting, foreigners cannot compete useful. Even when a third party candidate starts, it rarely continues after one electoral cycle.
One of the largest efforts of the third party in modern history was Ross Beirut in 1992.
He got nearly 19 % of popular votes as an independent voice, but he did not win a single college vote. This was the closest to a third -party candidate to the White House after he participated in the famous party of President Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 against William Howard Tatat.
