Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump Tears Into Republican Senator in Truth Social Meltdown [View all]
The president went on a tirade against Iowas Chuck Grassley over the decades-old tradition.President Donald Trump has lashed out at Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley over his support for a longstanding Senate tradition that allows home-state senators to block judicial nominees.
The 79-year-old president raged on Truth Social against Senate Judiciary Chair Grassley, 92, over the so-called blue slip custom, which Trump called old and ridiculous and claimed was being unfairly used and abused by Democrats.
I have eight GREAT U.S. Attorneys, Highly Respected ALL, who will not be confirmed for their positions in various Highly Consequential States only because theyre Republicans, and the Democrats have convinced Chuck Grassley to honor the stupid and outdated Blue Slip tradition, which precludes very talented and dedicated people from attaining High Office, Trump wrote.
The Democrats violate this practice in order to get people in, but Republicans just dont. These GREAT peoples careers have been badly hurt by the Radical Left Democrats, using an old and ridiculous custom strictly to their advantage. What a shame!

What are the odds that Grassley will fold because of Trump's bullying?
