The former president is telling Republicans he “doesn’t want Biden to have a victory” in 2024, said a source familiar with the bipartisan negotiations.
Donald Trump on Wednesday privately pressured Senate Republicans to “kill” a bipartisan deal to secure the U.S. border because he doesn’t want President Joe Biden to chalk up a win ahead of the 2024 presidential election, according to a source familiar with the tenuous negotiations on the package.
Trump directly reached out to several GOP senators on Wednesday to tell them to reject any deal, said this source, who requested anonymity to speak freely. The GOP presidential frontrunner also personally reached out to some Senate Republicans over the weekend, the source told HuffPost.
“Trump wants them to kill it because he doesn’t want Biden to have a victory,” said the source. “He told them he will fix the border when he is president… He said he only wants the perfect deal.”
That wasn’t even the first time. Nixon tried to sabotage Vietnamese peace talks in 1968 to hurt LBJ. It worked then too, the only thing that matters when you want power is winning.
The last halfway decent repub was Eisenhower.
And Ike was apolitical. He joined the Republicans because he felt the Democrats were too strong and he wanted levity between the two.
For fun look up his presidential platform to see how…progressive… Republicans used to be and how far theyve fallen.
Shit you don’t even have to go that far back, Reagan, their neo-liberal god, would be lampooned in today’s GOP. He passed gun-control and gave amnesty to those here illegally - both of which we should do again. He also ignored a pandemic resulting in millions of unnecessary deaths, just like our last Republican president, you know the one who stole Reagans motto, Make America Great Again. Yea Reagan did that first, that was his schtick and they both fucking failed HARD at that.
AKA Kissinger’s job interview.
Someone should check on Kissinger and make sure they’re still dead. Don’t want to risk that Kissinger is a lich. While you are at, take a shit on Kissinger grave for us.
It goes back and back like that. I mean, they shot John in the head in broad daylight.
