Having already angered Congressional Republicans earlier this week by making a deal with Democrats on the debt ceiling and almost $8 billion in relief for the those in Louisiana and Texas impacted by Hurricane Harvey, President Trump decided to further antagonize members of the GOP by attacking them via Twitter:
Republicans, sorry, but I've been hearing about Repeal & Replace for 7 years, didn't happen! Even worse, the Senate Filibuster Rule will….
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 8, 2017
…never allow the Republicans to pass even great legislation. 8 Dems control – will rarely get 60 (vs. 51) votes. It is a Repub Death Wish!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 8, 2017
As if that wasn’t enough of a slap in the face, Trump then issued a direct order to members of his party to start on massive tax cuts for the richest Americans:
Republicans must start the Tax Reform/Tax Cut legislation ASAP. Don't wait until the end of September. Needed now more than ever. Hurry!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 8, 2017
It’s unclear why tax cuts are so badly needed, unless it’s because Trump wants to see members of his family get a giant windfall for all the graft they’ve been engaged in since he took office. Perhaps they need the extra money to pay their mounting legal bills. One never knows when it comes to an entire family of con artists.
As Trump continues to take potshots at his fellow Republicans, his poll numbers are in free fall and the Russia investigation moves closer to both him and his children. And the only person to blame for the president’s troubles is Trump himself.
