MEDIA: The populist vs. the billionaire: Bannon, Musk and the battle within MAGA

The Grey Lady's Tyler Pager and Donald Trump's psychiatrist, Maggie
Haberman on whether Trump will attempt to enlist Peter Thiel's VP JD
Vance to serve as Trump's Deputy Chief Salescritter for Trump's
bipartisan, comprehensive, merit-based, immigration reform
legislative legacy authored by the Cheap Labor Lobby and passed by
Mike Johnson's House.GOV and John Thune's Senate.GOV and whether
Thiel will allow Vance to commit political suicide:

| Bannon has clear ideological disagreements with Musk, particularly
| over immigration. Bannon vigorously disagrees with Musk's support
| for H-1B visas, which allow high-skilled individuals to work in the
| United States. Bannon has also warned that billionaires like Musk
| and other tech executives -- many of whom supported Democrats before
| backing Trump -- will abandon the MAGA movement. "Bannon has been a
| dyed-in-the-wool conservative for his entire life, and he believes
| very strongly in these core values," said Barry Bennett, a
| Republican strategist who worked on Trump's first presidential
| campaign with Bannon. "He is always naturally suspicious of people
| who pop up and don't have the pedigree that he has."

What will be the foreign born population in Howard Lutnick's Census.GOV
headcounts and share of the American STEM labor market in Lori Chavez-
DeRemer's BLS.GOV surveys at the end of Trump's second term and how
does Susie Wiles recommend Thiel best fund Vance in 2028 to message the
hard realities on the ground to the legacy American proles who thought
they voted against their dispossession in 2024?
