A MAGA insider promises the president will make their lives a living hell.President Donald Trump has plans to use sleep deprivation as a way to throw his weight around with GOP senators.
As the government shutdown quickly approaches its 35th day, the president is growing increasingly agitated that Democrats have not caved to Republican demands. Now, hes ready to use extreme tactics to get GOP senators to comply with his desire to deploy the nuclear option to eliminate the Senate filibuster rule.
An unnamed MAGA adviser is promising that Trump will make the lives of senators who dont comply with his demand to destroy the long-standing check on power a living hell, according to a new report from Axios.
He will call them at three oclock in the morning. He will blow them up in their districts. He will call them un-American. He will call them old creatures of a dying institution. Believe you me, hes going to make their lives just hell, the advisor told the publication.

we figured out to just unplug the phone from the wall when we went to bed.
But logic is not the MAGA strong point, so they might not be able to figure out the number blocking feature, either.
