A Pitch for the Trump Campaign
A weekly check-in with America
I hope the Trump campaign gets to this before the Harris campaign does. FDR used to have what he called the “fireside chat.” We don’t really have a way to gather the whole public together for a conversation. But X can be that place.
What if Donald Trump and Elon Musk did a weekly show called “Checking in with America” where they talk about the urgent issues facing our country? They could invite guests to speak; they could take questions from the audience - like a mom struggling to put food on the table, a teacher trying to keep the madness out of schools, etc.
If Elon doesn’t want to do it, Trump and Vance should. Do it every week. People would check in. They could get their message out at a time when the media is fawning all over Kamala Harris.
You heard it here first. Get it done.

I listened to the Musk-Trump interview. Although I think it went on for too long and they repeated many of the same points over and over again, I think Trump and Musk started to paint a picture of a future America that most Americans would want to live in. People want to be excited for the future again. They want to believe that our country is still capable of doing great things and I think they believe Musk is a man that can make great things happen if the government is not trying to strangle innovation.
Trump is still a businessman at heart and I think he is genuinely excited by some of Musk's ideas. Wouldn't it be great if our cities were safe and had world-leading technological innovation in transportation? Wouldn't it be great if you could take a foreign visitor to New York or Washington and be proud to show off great, clean, safe cities instead of the crime-infested, rundown dumps that we have allowed our cities to become?
While I believe that our country has many problems that need to be addressed, and we may be too far gone already, people need to believe that there can be a better more exciting future. I think this is what Musk's endorsement of Trump can bring to the campaign
