President Donald Trump, who has taken to referring to Democrats as “Dumocrats,” predicted Friday that it will be Republicans who will look dumb should the left retake control of the Senate and end the filibuster rule.
Trump wrote a scathing Truth Social post announcing he won’t sign the bipartisan housing bill.
He said he’s protesting Senate Republicans’ refusal to end the filibuster to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID to cast ballots.
Trump said Democrats would eliminate the 60-vote filibuster “in their very first hour” and Republicans would look bad for not doing the same to pass key legislation such as the voter ID bill.
“The Dumocrats will TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, if and when they ever get the chance to do so, in their very first hour — And I will no longer be able to call them Dumocrats again!” Trump wrote. “The title of DUMB will revert to the Republicans who allowed this horrible calamity to happen to our Party, and our Nation, itself!”
