05.06.2025 ⇢ The Day Trump Banned Twelve Countries While His Alliance With Musk Collapsed
⌨
Trump signed executive orders banning travel from twelve countries, citing "hostile attitudes" and declaring "we don't want them." The restrictions expanded to nineteen countries with varying degrees of limitation, building on his previous travel policies.
By afternoon, the political focus shifted to an explosive breakdown between Trump and Musk. What began as Trump expressing "disappointment" with Musk's budget criticism escalated into accusations of "Trump derangement syndrome." Musk retaliated by claiming credit for Trump's election victory and threatening to release Epstein files allegedly containing Trump's name.
Evening brought threats of contract cancellations and calls for Musk's deportation from Republican figures. Tesla shares plunged $150 billion as the public warfare intensified, with suggestions Musk should face impeachment proceedings.
Domestically, Reform UK faced internal collapse as chairman Zia Yusuf resigned following criticism of his MP's burqa comments. Violence against teachers rose by a fifth according to exclusive figures, while the Madeleine McCann search teams worked against time constraints.
