President Donald Trump fumed about a House Democrat — who he just pardoned — choosing to remain with the party rather than defect to the Republicans.

In a blistering post to Truth Social early Sunday, the president bashed Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) for announcing his intent to run for re-election as a Democrat, despite receiving a pardon from the president. Cuellar was facing charges for allegedly taking over $600,000 in foreign bribes. (The congressman’s wife, Imelda, was also charged in connection with the scheme.)

“Can you imagine???” Trump wrote. “The Democrats, under the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, who always use extreme force and jail-time to destroy their political opponent, wanted to put Congressman Henry Cuellar, and his wife, Imelda, in PRISON, for 15 years, which I predicted these Radical Left Lunatics would do – And they never stopped wanting to fulfill this evil quest! The Dems mercilessly went after Henry with everything they had! They were looking to destroy him, his lovely wife, his two young daughters, and anyone close to them. When the Democrats overwhelmingly lost the 2024 Presidential Election, and power with it, they, regardless, did everything they could to keep going after the Cuellar family. The Dems were vicious, and all because Henry strongly wanted, correctly, BORDER SECURITY!”

The president went on to cite a letter he’d received from Cuellar’s two daughters — who pleaded for a pardon for their parents.

Oh well. Both of you are "opportunists". You can always claim you did the pardon with an "autopen" and self-nullify it.

1. There's always a quid pro quo with Trump.

Pardons aren't supposed to have conditions - that makes awarding them a bribe, which is how Trump rolls - so Cuellar took it, as he had the right to do, and stayed a Democrat anyhow. And pardons aren't reversible (but watch Trump try).

[underpants]

2. Who's over the barrel now?

[Ocelot II]

4. What was supposed to happen, at least as Piggy imagined it,

was that Cuellar would come to him with tears in his eyes, call him Sir, instantly become a MAGA Republican, and never vote with the Democrats again.

[underpants]

7. Yeah he thinks he owns Cuellar now like he owns his kids

and everyone who’s sold their soul to him.

The winds are turning and he so isolated and pampered he has no idea. Elections, party defections, retirements, and a stirring House Republican female attack on Moses Mike.

[NotHardly]

19. "Trump Rages"...simpler headline FIFY

[JohnnyRingo]

3. So he's going off at democrats for holding one of our own accountable?

"Even after the election!!"

Rule of law must seem so strange to him as to be unbelievable.

[Ocelot II]

5. In Piggy's disturbed mind bribery isn't supposed to be a crime at all.

Since he does it himself all the time (the pardon itself was intended as a bribe), he doesn't like to see other public officials getting in trouble for it.

[Walleye]

6. He's slipping, he usually gets commitments worked out before the pardon

[JohnnyRingo]

8. This admin resembles the Mafia structure more and more each day

Seriously.
Selling pardons, leaning on those who don't play ball, and taking a cut on the show biz industry.
Scarface was a minor league hoodlum

[paleotn]

11. Of course it's strange to him. He's a sociopath.

It's only and always about him. That's also his weakness.

[IronLionZion]

9. Cuellar's district voted Trump, so having him as a D helps our numbers if we take the majority next year

MAGA encourages bribery as a core value. Dems hold our elected officials accountable for crimes. Clear difference between the parties.

34. Emphasize's

Exactly the bribery, criminality and just fucking lack of morality to upgrade, probably even a Pardon,
Of that child raping Maxwell to bribe his way out of consequences of brutalizing young women.
The party of Jesus, demanding 10 commandments and bibles in every state or federal building to display God’s rules “we all” (they does not apply) must follow to Make America Godly Again.
Imagine the expectation's trump will demand from the Ex President and largest Coke Cartel leader and American distribution giant. Saved from decades of jail time.
Unlimited free Coke to Jr????

10. Cuellar must be primaried and retired from the house in 2026. Nt

[Nigrum Cattus]

33. exactly

rest assured he would become a manchin/senima rat
if he goes again

[Turbineguy]

12. Lack of honor among thieves.

It's everywhere these days.

[Americanme]

13. I guess "loyalty" means only loyal to trump.

Cuellar remained loyal to his party, in spite of trump trying to buy him. If Cuellar is guilty, I wish he wouldn't run again, we went through that with Senator Menendez.

14. What's sickening about this

is that he actually expected something in return. He wanted the guy to flip and become a republican. It all makes sense now why he's pardoning so many people, so often. He want's the loyalty and money. This is just more proof it's all about him. 3-5 months.

16. You just CAN"T make this stupid shit up.

17. Let me break this down to its smallest possible particles

I am not a fan of Cuellar but this made me smile. trump is an idiot who thinks that everything is transactional. trump gave Cuellar a pardon and so Cuellar needs to change parties and become a MAGA asshat.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) on Sunday after learning that the lawmaker – whom he had pardoned this week following bribery and conspiracy charges – still plans to run for re-election as a Democrat, decrying it as “such a lack of loyalty.”

Cuellar, among the most right-wing Democratic lawmakers in Congress, and the only reliably anti-abortion Democrat in the House, was indicted in May of 2024 on charges for bribery, money laundering, acting as a foreign agent and conspiracy.

Prosecutors alleged that he and his wife accepted close to $600,000 from an oil company owned in part by the Eastern European country of Azerbaijan and a Mexican bank in return for him advocating for legislation favorable to both entities. The payments were alleged to be laundered through sham consulting contracts and shell companies.....

Trump then went on to write how he learned that Cuellar had decided to run for re-election, and apparently to Trump’s surprise, as a Democrat.

“Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be ‘running’ for Congress again, in the Great State of Texas (a State where I received the highest number of votes ever recorded!), as a Democrat, continuing to work with the same Radical Left Scum that just weeks before wanted him and his wife to spend the rest of their lives in Prison - And probably still do!” Trump wrote.

“Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry’s daughters, will not like. Oh’ well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!”

[Grins]

28. Missing quote...

“Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry’s daughters, will not like. Oh’ well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!”

Loyalty. He demands it from everyone and gives it back to no one. It was apparent in 2015 when we found out all the NDA’s he forced EVERYONE in his campaign..

Driven home in early 2017 when he demanded loyalty from James Comey.

What he wanted from Coney? Drop the investigation into Russian asset - Mike Flynn!

29. I got a good chuckle from Trumpy raging!!

30. YOU OWE ME. Convicted Felon Mob boss says

32. Is this a confession

that Trump used the power of his office to entice (bribe) someone for political gain?

37. What a moron
