"Trump's Weekend: From Tech Talks to Military Spectacle"

Meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook

On Friday, President-elect Trump met with Apple CEO Tim Cook. The two have long shared a friendly relationship. Cook sought Trump's assistance with A.I. regulation, China policy, and dealing with those pesky Europeans who have been fining American Big Tech billions of dollars. It was a significant meeting that showcased the influence of both leaders.Cook didn't hesitate to show his respect, and Trump clearly enjoyed the interaction. They even stayed for dinner, further strengthening their bond.

Attending the Army-Navy Game

Saturday was the highlight of the weekend. President-elect Trump attended the Army-Navy game and brought along the political power elite. JD Vance, Speaker Johnson, Ron DeSantis, and Pete Hegseth were among those in attendance. Elon Musk, who practically lives with Trump, also made an appearance. The crowd went wild when Daniel Penny, the subway hero, showed up. Chants of U.S.A. filled the air, and the president-elect beamed with pride.This was a stark contrast to Joe Biden, who seemed to be sulking and fading fast. The weekend wasn't over yet. Trump then came out in favor of privatizing the postal service, a bold move that captured everyone's attention.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's Initiatives

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy put forward a list of things they wanted the Department of Government Efficiency to tackle. This list represents a significant transformation of government that is already underway. From getting rid of daylight savings time to shooting down drones, there is a sense of "can-do America" in the air.We are often accustomed to being told what we cannot do or are not allowed to do. But when someone presents a plan and starts taking action, it changes the mood of the country. The media tried their best to ignore the Army-Navy game and Trump's obvious appeal, but they are now on the sidelines, reduced to whining and sniping. Trump shows no sign of slowing down and continues to make waves.
