Republican Senator’s, thinking about their future’s, have REFUSED to put aside the Senate rules to Ok Trump 2025 Spending Bills and ability to cut Federal programs, aid and jobs ….
The US Senate has a RULE Requiring a “Super Majority’ (60 Votes) to pass large spending legislation…
(GOP Senator’s could become the minority come 2029 at the mercy of Democrats without the 60 vote insurance)
I assures that BOTH parties buy into such actions….
Donald Trump has BOASTED out loud that he ‘OWNS” the Congress with the Republican Majorities in both the House and Senate……
Trump HAS already lost the support of the majority of Americans 10 months into his second term…
While he tries to sell the opposite?
Democrats HAVE gained support for defying Trump in the Shutdown game of chicken…
HE as President IS shouldering the Blame as President’s alway’s do for shutdowns
.
The US Government is NOT the Trump Organisation….
Donald may have thought so in ‘his’ reality ….
I guess we’ll see….
President Trump’s Truth Social demands to end the filibuster are just a hint of his coming rampage if Senate Republicans hold out against him, advisers tell Axios.
Why it matters: Most Senate Republicans have no interest in nuking the filibuster. But Trump’s frustration is the first clear sign that the shutdown, which becomes a record on Wednesday, is getting to him.
- “He will make their lives a living hell,” one Trump adviser told Axios.
- “He will call them at three o’clock in the morning. He will blow them up in their districts. He will call them un-American. He will call them old creatures of a dying institution. Believe you me, he’s going to make their lives just hell,” the source continued.
- Another adviser emphasized: “He’s really mad about this.”
Zoom in: For weeks, Trump wasn’t paying close attention to the shutdown out of a belief that Democrats would eventually drop their demands.
- Now, he is starting to put Republican senators on blast for not changing the filibuster, which requires 60 votes for most legislation, arguing it gave Democrats leverage to shut down the government for a record amount of time.
- “The more he thinks about it, the more he thinks the filibuster outrageous and anti-democratic,” one of the advisers said.
- Trump was already steamed about the Senate’s “blue slip” tradition, which has allowed Democratic senators to block certain judicial nominees….
…
The other side: Senate Democrats are not taking Trump’s threats too seriously, telling Axios they remain confident that Republicans will not concede to his demands.
- It could be a good sign for the hopeful, tentative dealmaking being done this week to reopen the government.
- “Republicans are rubber stamps for Donald Trump on everything else. This may be the one area where they’ve decided not to play ball,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) told Axios.
- “The president is not in charge of the United States Congress and we need to stand up and tell the president he is not a king,” Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), a key moderate vote, told Axios.
The big picture: Trump has always believed a president gets blamed for a shutdown.
- Polls show a plurality of voters blame Republicans, and many on both sides of the aisle expected him to buckle sooner to Democratic demands to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies that are set to expire for 22 million recipients…..
Note….
The Democrats AND Republicans of ‘HIS’ party seem to be getting a piece of Donald , eh?
He’s gonna start throwings next?
