Trump Demands A Full MAGA Takeover Of The Senate - Ring of Fire

[TexasTowelie]

Donald Trump got on Truth Social on Monday and demanded that Republicans primary Republican Senators that are voting with Mitch McConnell. This isn't just another attack on McConnell by Trump, either - this is a full call for a MAGA takeover of the Senate, similar to what just happened in the House of Representatives. Trump feels renewed strength after watching what happened last week, and Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why.

Donald Trump threw yet another temper tantrum on truth social yesterday where he called for mc uh, Mitch McConnell. And of course, anyone who votes with Mitch McConnell to be primaried by MAGA challengers here is what Donald Trump posted on truth social. And of course, he's still whining about the fact that McConnell cut a deal with Senate Democrats back in December on a budget. So that's just a little backstory. Here's the post. It's as though he just doesn't care anymore. He pushes through anything the Democrats want. The 1.7 trillion quickly approved Bill of the week before was horrible, zero for U S A border security. If he waited just 10 days, the now United Republican Congress could have made it much better or killed it. Something is wrong with McConnell and those Republican senators that vote with him primary them all.

Here's the thing. Donald Trump is not upset about this deal that McConnell worked out with the Democrats. That by the way, Donald Trump is misrepresenting in every possible way. What Donald Trump feels emboldened about, I don't even think he's actually mad right now. What he is is emboldened because he just watched all last week, a group of his Loony Tunes friends over in the House of Representatives, the Freedom Caucus obstruct Kevin McCarthy, forcing him to give every concession imaginable to that pro-Trump faction in the house. So Donald Trump understands, even though he endorsed McCarthy and they basically said up yours, we're not gonna listen to you. It was still his people that did it. So now, because they are so loyal to Donald Trump, Donald Trump basically has control of the house. What he doesn't have is control of the Senate. Mitch McConnell has made it very clear over the last few months that he is not afraid to take shots at Donald Trump.

He is not scared of Donald Trump, and he will stand up to him when the situation calls for it. And Donald Trump can't have that. He wants a spineless ineffective Senate just like he has over there in the house now, cuz he only has one branch and not the both. Well, what good does that do? The Senate can still obstruct or vote down everything that Trump House sends over to them, and Trump knows it. So he wants primaries. He wants primaries for the people that actually aren't even up for reelection for another four years. So yeah, we'll see how that plays out. We still have to get through a presidential election before Mitch McConnell is even up for reelection again. And I, by the way, I don't think Mitch McConnell's too worried about that. Who knows if McConnell is even going to be able to physically run by then? The guy has been serving in the Senate since I was two years old. He's probably a little tired.

He's definitely way up there in age, and I don't know that he even will be able to run again when it's that time. But if it comes to that, Donald Trump is ready to primary them all. Not because he's mad about how they're voting, but because he wants more spineless Trump's sick offense in that Senate, just like he has in the house, so that he can exert complete control over all of them.

3. TFG needs to get Herschel Watker to run for Senate in Texas in 2024

A Walker/Carnival Cruz primary would be fun to watch
