'He's taking the high ground!' MAGA senator insists Trump had 'good day'

President Donald Trump's political orbit is in total disarray as he wages war with his longtime ally, tech billionaire Elon Musk, over the future of his "big, beautiful bill" that extends tax cuts for almost exclusively wealthy earners while cutting $1 trillion from Medicaid, food stamps, and clean energy subsidies.

But speaking on CNN, Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN), a hard-MAGA lawmaker who recently gained infamy for telling a fired government worker they deserved it, insists that all of this is actually a winning day for the president.
