59% : (Trump staffers confirmed to CNN that the message was intended to remain private.)
48% : They voted for Trump because he said he was going to get them all out.

35% : Everyone had wondered if Trump was ever going to put down his golf clubs and say something.
34% : The problem began last weekend when Trump named Indian-born Sriram Krishnan, as his senior policy advisor on AI, to work with another Musk associate and fellow South African-born David Sachs, his new AI and "crypto czar."
33% : Trump seems to be dazzled by him and his tech-bro billionaire buds in the same way he's dazzled by Vladimir Putin.
