Longtime Trump pal decodes 'message' president sent to Musk in Friday phone call

CNN's Dana Bash spoke with Donald Trump by phone Friday morning, and she said one of his former allies explained why the president had taken her call.

The broadcaster said she called the president on his personal cell phone from her own, and Bash reported that he tried to turn the topic of their conversation away form his feud with Elon Musk to economic matters, although he did jab his former ally, saying "the poor guy's got problems" but wished him well.

"They both have a lot to lose here, a lot to lose," Bash said.
