Trump asserts his power over Republicans
By Alexander Bolton - 06/01/20 06:00 AM EDT

President Trump is strengthening his grip on the Republican Party as they head into the heat of an election season that Democrats want to make a referendum on Trump and his handling of the coronavirus crisis.

Trump flexed his muscle on Capitol Hill last week by scuttling bipartisan legislation to extend the intelligence surveillance powers that had passed the Senate easily and was expected to pass the House.

Once Trump threatened on Wednesday to veto the measure, Republican support in the lower chamber fell away quickly, forcing Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to pull the bill from the schedule.


The president sent a warning a week ago that disloyalty will be punished by scorching former Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) on Twitter. Sessions is running to win back an Alabama Senate seat.

That's how he works.  And the bill is about spying on Americans and their internet search without warrant.  Of course the president is going to oppose any surveillance on government and candidates.  But screw the American people's privacy. 

He has already scorched Sessions.  Ruined his good name.  Its a Trump cult.

Trump is driving us to socialism and his daughter loves socialism.  Family leave....  The more Trump keeps yapping his hateful jaws he is driving people to the left. 

All this spending we just did was socialism too, and he was in a hurry to sign.  So don't talk to me about Socialism.



Trump is the true socialist

Excerpt:

Agricultural subsidies have been blessed and perpetuated by politicians from both parties. But lately, a Republican president, with the support of Republican lawmakers, is in the midst of a broader “socialist” endeavor to bail out the farm industry.

After President Trump picked trade wars with nearly every major U.S. trading partner — friend and foe alike — U.S. exports of soybeans, pork and other agricultural products dried up. The president subsequently decided to cover up one foolish economic policy with another, and another. He launched not one but two rounds of massive farmer bailouts, together totaling tens of billions of dollars.

Yet Republican politicians have portrayed neither of these taxpayer-funded handouts as “socialist.”
