US parties: Trump about planned musk party: “ridiculous”

US President Donald Trump has described Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s advance as “ridiculous” for a new party. At the Bedminster Airport, he said to Journalists on a question: “I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party. We have an enormous success with the Republican Party.” Trump also posted Trump on his Truth platform that Musk was completely “derailed”.

Trump: would donate confusion

Trump is in favor of the existing factual two -party system of republicans and Democrats. The Democrats had strayed from the way, but it has always been a two -party system. A third party would lead to “confusion”, said the Republican. He could “have fun with it”, but it was ridiculous, said Trump about Musk.

Tech billionaire Musk wants to build a new party in the USA – the America party. His designated goal: break the two -party system. Musk was convinced that Democrats and Republicans were politically similar and together to do America down. “When it comes to driving the country into bankruptcy through waste and bribery, we live in a one -party system, not in a democracy,” Musk explained his ambitions for a new party.

Musk’s advance from Saturday marks a preliminary climax of the feud between Trump and the tech billionaire. Until recently, Trump and Musk were still close confidants. Musk had supported Trump’s election campaign with more than $ 250 million and was temporarily commissioned to cut costs in the government apparatus after the inauguration. But then a mud fight followed in early June, ignited in Trump’s plans strictly rejected by Musk in budgetary policy.

De facto two -party system in the USA

Unlike in Germany, where coalitions from several parties form the federal government and there are many parties in the Bundestag, the currently ruling Republicans of Trump determine in the USA on the one hand and the Democrats on the other.

Other parties also exist, but in fact there is a two -party system. Smaller parties have little chance of greater political success – also because of the majority voting law, in which only the winner comes on and votes for other candidates. The question is how promising Musk’s plans are against this background.
