In a speech to Congress on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump misrepresented his decision to place billionaire Elon Musk, who was not elected to any office, to manage important government resources, even if he complained about “unelected bureaucrats.”
The moment came when Trump claimed his victory in the 2024 election was 1.5 percent points to a popularity vote, and was a “order” of “a bold and profound change” that could attack thousands of federal workers.
“My administration will regain power from this inexplainable bureaucracy and we will once again restore true democracy to America. The era of unelected bureaucracy is over,” Trump said.
Chamber of Commerce Democrats responded with a quick laugh, some pointing to Trump’s financiers and co-president masks who were present.
