NBC just can’t help itself, can it? During a White House event meant to highlight the upcoming FIFA World Cup, NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez decided it was the perfect time to push a ridiculous narrative about a so-called “clash” between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Elon Musk. But President Trump, never one to let the fake news media get away with their nonsense, shut him down instantly.
“There was no clash. I was there. You’re just a troublemaker,” Trump told Gutierrez, who kept trying to push the story. When Gutierrez refused to back down, Trump dismissed him with a classic Trump takedown: “Who are you with? Who are you with? Oh, no wonder. That’s enough. NBC.” And just like that, another pathetic attempt by the mainstream media to stir up controversy was dead on arrival.
The so-called “clash” originated from a New York Times report claiming that Musk had gone after Rubio during a Cabinet meeting, criticizing him for not firing more State Department staff. The Times, ever the reliable source for anonymous whispers and anti-Trump spin, painted a picture of a tense back-and-forth, where Musk allegedly accused Rubio of being “only good on TV.” Rubio, reportedly, wasn’t having it.
Let’s be real—this is classic New York Times strategy. Take a normal policy discussion, dramatize it to fit their anti-Trump narrative, and hope their buddies in the corporate media run with it. NBC’s Gutierrez did just that, barging into a World Cup event to press Trump on something that wasn’t even a real issue.
But here’s the kicker: Trump didn’t just deny the report—he made it clear that both Musk and Rubio are doing a “fantastic job” and that they “get along great.” That’s the part the media won’t tell you because it ruins their narrative.
TRUMP: “Who are you with?”
Reporter: “NBC”
TRUMP: “Ugh, no wonder.”

If anything, this whole ordeal just proves how desperate the press is to create division within the Trump administration. They want infighting. They need chaos. But once again, Trump isn’t playing their game. Instead of taking the bait, he called out the media’s lies in real-time and moved on.
At the end of the day, Rubio is running the State Department, Musk is helping streamline government efficiency, and President Trump is leading with strength. Meanwhile, the mainstream media is stuck spinning its wheels, desperately trying to manufacture drama where none exists. Typical.
