“AND SO IT BEGINS!”
Donald Trump’s dramatic, four-word salvo on Truth Social just before midnight Tuesday means he knows the honeymoon is over.
After thumping wins by radical Democrats — a tautology now, of course — the battle lines are clear.
The president knows he has just one year until the midterms to fireproof his agenda and safeguard future elections against Democratic fraud.
That’s why he wants to end the filibuster.
The 60-vote Senate threshold is strangling Republican priorities and is allowing Democrats to shut down the government for the fifth week while blaming Trump.
Yet too many Senate Republicans don’t know what time it is.
They are clinging to outdated niceties that Democrats are itching to blow up as soon as they get their hands back on the reins — which will be soon if the GOP old guard doesn’t wake up.
Trump has always known what time it is, from the day he glided into history aboard his golden escalator and was targeted for destruction every which way for the last 10 years.
That’s why in every election they contested Tuesday, Democrats used Trump as their bogeyman.
