President Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to go after “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer” for holding up his administration’s nominees. He also warned Republicans it would be “embarrassing” if they accepted Schumer’s demands.
Senator Cryin’ Chuck Schumer is demanding over One Billion Dollars in order to approve a small number of our highly qualified nominees, who should right now be helping to run our Country. This demand is egregious and unprecedented, and would be embarrassing to the Republican Party if it were accepted. It is political extortion, by any other name. Tell Schumer, who is under tremendous political pressure from within his own party, the Radical Left Lunatics, to GO TO HELL! Do not accept the offer, go home and explain to your constituents what bad people the Democrats are, and what a great job the Republicans are doing, and have done, for our Country. Have a great RECESS and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
He was referring to Minority Leader Schumer’s demands for added budget dollars in exchange for allowing nominees through confirmation more easily.
The President later added:
THE DEMOCRATS ARE EXTORTIONISTS WHO ALMOST DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY. NOW WE ARE BACK, AND THE USA IS THE “HOTTEST” COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
There was also a hinted message in the President’s words. He told Republicans to go home and “have a great recess,” likely hinting that Senate Majority Leader John Thune should work with House Speaker Mike Johnson to officially end all sessions for the 10 days necessary for President Trump to use his recess appointment powers.
