President Trump has returned home from his Asia trip, and he's focused on ending the Schumer Shutdown, now in Day 31. His solution? Destroy the filibuster.
In a late-night Truth Social post, Trump noted that Democrats had tried to eliminate the Senate procedure when they had control of both chambers of Congress and the White House during the Biden administration, but then-Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema — both of whom have since left the Democratic Party to become independents — helped block the effort.
"The one question that kept coming up, however, was how did the Democrats SHUT DOWN the United States of America, and why did the powerful Republicans allow them to do it?" Trump wrote. "The fact is, in flying back, I thought a great deal about that question, WHY?"
Of course, Democrats don't want to do that. And they've been called out by one of their own for being hypocrites.
