Trump’s Fake Comment On Viral ‘Peanut The Squirrel’ Surfaces, Elon Musk Fumes

A fake statement, apparently coming from the Donald Trump campaign, called for justice for a viral squirrel, called 'Peanut the Squirrel.' As the statement went viral on social media, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, Steven Cheung, debunked the statement, clarifying that it was not from the Trump-Vance campaign.

Meanwhile, while the comment was going viral on social media, tech billionaire Elon Musk, a prominent supporter of the former president, said that Trump will 'save the squirrels.'

“The government should leave people and their animals alone,” Musk wrote in an X post. “President @realDonaldTrump will save the squirrels 🐿️ 😢 RIP P’Nut.”
