The ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, his one-time "special government employee," has brought an "unprecedented" dynamic compared to other famous disputes, long-time Democratic political strategist and Fox News contributor Jacques DeGraff said.After somewhat repeated rumblings from Musk about why he opposed a Trump-endorsed Republican spending package, Trump launched complaints about Musk and began firing back this week, including threats aimed at Musk's business revenue."It's unprecedented, but the reality is that what makes it a singular moment in history is that no single figure has ever been able to say, 'I made a president and then (fell) out with that individual," DeGraff told Fox News Digital Friday."There have been groups, there have been individuals who wanted to pretend that they did, but the record is clear. And, I mean, this man (Elon) brought his son into the Oval Office. He wore a hat and didn't wear a suit to the Oval Office. He clearly had carte blanche. The president, in effect, did a Tesla ad in the Rose Garden and now they've fallen out in life."WATCH: REPUBLICANS RALLY BEHIND TRUMP, CONTINUE TO SUPPORT MUSK AMID 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL' BRAWLDeGraffe, who has been a political advocate and strategist for years, quipped that, ordinarily, "we would have to go to family court," adding "what's the court here?"Trump is no stranger to quarrels with his staff. During his first term, his relationship soured with his National Security Advisor, John Bolton, and his press secretary, Anthony Scaramucci, after they diverged on different issues and publicly criticized Trump.But, for DeGraffe at least, this quarrel has "distinguished itself from anything in the past."One major difference he pointed to is the implications for both parties in this spat.LIZ PEEK: FIVE CRITICAL TAKEAWAYS FROM THE EPIC TRUMP-MUSK RUMBLE"Tesla stock has dropped $150 billion, Trump stock has dropped but it also occurs at the same time as this legislation and so that is going to have no matter how it turns out it's going to have massive political and public policy implications for the country," DeGraffe said. "So this is no small dispute."DeGraffe also contended that this is "the first time" there has been a major deviation from Trump "from the MAGA side of the aisle." He suggested the split could be bad news for Trump and others who hope to see the GOP's budget package pass the finish line in its current form."This major split will allow other players to take positions other than the party line, and it gives them room and comfort and cover in order to do so," DeGraffe suggested. "Will senators who follow Musk, or, better yet, disagree with Musk, face intensely funded primaries?"That's a consideration that everyone involved will have to take. As a lifelong Democrat, I'm sitting with my bowl of popcorn saying, Go at it. Because anything that slows this horrific legislation has got to be good news to the rest of the country."CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APPHowever, while DeGraffe sees the Trump-Musk feud as having wide-ranging and lasting implications, GOP political strategist Dallas Woodhouse says he thinks the feud is unimportant to most Republicans."I am currently at the North Carolina State GOP convention, and this is not a topic of concern among activists," Woodhouse said. "No doubt it makes for funny and entertaining X posts, but the GOP faithful are laser-focused on growing the new diverse GOP/Trump winning coalition."

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God reflected Thursday on his interview withRep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif.,earlier this week, slamming the congressman's claim he was not aware of then-President Joe Bidens decline.Charlamagne grilled Swalwell on Tuesdays episode of his "The Breakfast Club" radio show. He said Democrats "got on television and pretended to act like everything was fine" and asked Swalwell, "Why should we ever trust the Democratic Party after they lied to us [for] so long about President Biden?"Swalwell defended himself and his fellow Democrats throughout the podcast, claiming, "I dont think many of us were behind the scenes, to be honest. I didn't spend much time with President Biden behind the scenes."On Thursday, Charlamagne shared his disgust with Swalwells answers to his "Brilliant Idiots" co-host, comedian Andrew Schulz.CHARLAMAGNE MOCKS SCHUMER, JEFFRIES AND NEWSOM AS HE WONDERS WHO SHOULD LEAD DEMOCRATIC PARTY"I kept asking him a simple question over and over, Why should we ever trust Democrats ever again, knowing that yall upheld this lie?'" Charlamagne said.After a clip of the interview, Schulz responded, "We clearly can't trust the Democrats that are currently in power that upheld the lie.""Anybody that wants to be the future of the party has to throw the Biden s--- under the bus," Charlamagne said. "Now, Eric and all of these guys are like, But we didnt know.' You gotta cut it the f--- out! Youre actually around him!"Charlamagne, like Schulz, noted he has never met Biden in person, "but weve got eyes.""If they couldnt be honest about that, would they be honest about anything in the future?" Charlamagne asked, restating his point.He then addressed CNN host Jake Tapper and his new "Original Sin" book about the Biden cover-up as too little, too late."Youve got the same eyes, the same ears that I have. Way before that debate you had to see what we all were seeing," Charlamagne said, arguing journalists should have had the integrity to tell people what was going on. "Maybe that would have pushed him out way earlier."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURESchulz, who interviewed Trump during the campaign, argued that there is a double standard when podcasters are hammered for not asking this or that question to a politician guest, but those same critics turn a blind eye to legacy media personalities who "literally protected the guy who was unfit for office."Charlamagne agreed, calling on people to hold CNN and MSNBC to the same standard they hold podcasters.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"I think that, like, the legacy Democrats still believe that people believe them," Schulz said, drawing laughter from Charlamagne. "And they are the last ones that believe that."Fox News Digital reached out to Swalwell for comment.

When Donald Trump ran for president for the first time, he campaigned on reducing the national debt, referring to himself at the time as "the king of debt" and telling voters he would pay off the nation's multi-trillion-dollar debt in 8 years. "I'm the king of debt. Im great with debt. Nobody knows debt better than me," Trump said during an interview with CBS's Norah O'Donnell in the lead up to the 2016 election. "Ive made a fortune by using debt, and if things dont work out I renegotiate the debt. I mean, thats a smart thing, not a stupid thing.""Weve got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt," Trump said a few months prior on the campaign trail during an interview with The Washington Post. When asked how long it would take, Trump responded: "I would say over a period of eight years The power is trade. Our deals are so bad."SENATE WEIGHS TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' AS POLICY GROUP BACKS CBO, PROJECTS $3 TRILLION DEBT INCREASEThe nation's ever-rising debt is once again a focus for Trump, as GOP defectors over his "big, beautiful bill," have largely staked their concerns around arguments that the Republican Party's new spending package will increase the national debt and deficit too much, with the Congressional Budget Office estimating it will add roughly $3 trillion over the next decade.The debt currently stands at more than $36.2 trillion according to Fox Business' U.S. National Debt Tracker.Elon Musk, who has cemented his stance in recent days against the Trump-endorsed spending package leading to a highly-publicized feud between the two leaders has argued that bill "undermines" the work he did while leading the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) because it does not cut spending enough."This immense level of overspending will drive America into debt slavery!" Musk declared early on Wednesday in a post on X,shortly after he called the bill a "disgusting abomination."TRUMPS BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL NEEDS A 'FAT SHOT' TO END OUR DANGEROUS DEBT ADDICTIONShortly thereafter, Musk referenced an X post from GOP Utah Sen. Mike Lee, which argued that "the accrued interest on the national debt now exceeds $1 trillion a year." This is more than the country spends on defense annually, Lee's post added. "And yet Congress continues to add to the debt at an astounding rate of $2 trillion per yearwith our national debt growing faster than our economy."In another X post from Musk, in the lead up to his feud with Trump this week, he succinctly described the U.S.'s $36.2 trillion debt as "scary." Even before the highly publicized feud between Musk and Trump over the contentious GOP spending package, Musk called the rising national debt "terrifying" and lamented "America is headed for de facto bankruptcy very fast."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"President Trump is the first president in modern history to seriously tackle the waste, fraud, and abuse in our bloated government. He has already trimmed billions in astonishingly mindless government spending across the administration, and now he is spearheading The One, Big, Beautiful Bill which will be the largest deficit reduction in decades," White House spokesman Kush Desai said to Fox News Digital in a statement Friday afternoon.
