Donald Trump argued that a GOP budget bill should help only Republican states instead of benefiting Democratic governors.

“We’re going to make a couple of tweaks,” Trump said of his “one big beautiful bill” during a Tuesday trip to Capitol Hill. “I mean, we don’t want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”

“We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat [sic] party, let’s say New York, Illinois, big ones, and let’s say Gavin ‘Newscum,’ who’s done a horrible job in California.”

    Oh for sure. But it’s just so stupid that Republicans are going the “power grab” route since probably Democrats (might) be so inclined to do the same next time they have power.

      Oh yeah, and they were afraid to give Trump immunity because Biden might use it. I think they’ve learned by now Dems are essentially, or at least effectively, on their side.
