“The Senate Bill is just a ploy of the Dems to show and expose the weakness of certain Republicans, namely these four, in that it is not going anywhere because the House will never approve it and I, as your President, will never sign it,” Trump said. “Why are they allowing Fentanyl to pour into our Country unchecked, and without penalty. What is wrong with them, other than suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, commonly known as TDS?”
Trump and his allies have frequently accused anyone that critiques their work of being mentally ill, effectively undermining the legitimacy of critical thought in the groupthink of his already sycophantic base.
“Who can want this to happen to our beautiful families, and why? To the people of the Great States of Kentucky, Alaska, and Maine, please contact these Senators and get them to FINALLY adhere to Republican Values and Ideals,” Trump said. “They have been extremely difficult to deal with and unbelievably disloyal to hardworking Majority Leader John Thune, and the Republican Party itself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

So actual weaponization of the government that Republican idiots claim to hate. Always projection.
What’s even more wild with this statement is them giving up the game. They don’t actually care about fraud, they just want blind fealty. They’d rather have fraud and pay criminals with tax payer money, than give it to folks who are entitled to it because someone said something mean about Trump.

Headline makes it sound like a mean-yet-legal political move against an individual, when really it’s an unlawful, frontal assault on the people of Maine.
