The vehicle, which was parked near the White House, might potentially be on the chopping block as Trump has not finalized his decision. Sources from the White House indicated Trump&#8217;s uncertainty about the car&#8217;s future, with some staff questioning if anyone would even want it after the recent altercations between Trump and Musk. The tension escalated after Musk criticized Trump&#8217;s proposed tax and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congress-passes-massive-covid-relief-omnibus-bill-sending-billions-of-dollars-to-foreign-countries-measure-heads-to-president-trumps-desk\/\" title=\"Congress Passes Massive Covid Relief\/Omnibus ...
