Trump in Arizona

This is not the first time Trump has suggested the GOP nix the rules allowing the minority party to demand a 60-vote threshold for cloture.  Republicans fear that changing the rule could come back and haunt them when the Democrats regain control of the Senate.  The problem is, the Republicans are not working with Trump as he would hope.  His legislative agenda is essentially stalled because of the inability of the Republicans to pull their craniums out of their posterior cavities.

Trump also had a few choice words for Arizona’s members of the U.S. Senate.  First, he went after John McCain, though he didn’t necessarily use his name.  In reference to the ObamaCare “skinny repeal” vote, “We were one vote away from repealing [ObamaCare].  They all said, Mr. President, your speech was so good last night, please, please, Mr. President don’t mention any names. So I won’t. I won’t. No … I will not mention any names.”

The “other senator”, Jeff Flake, also received a few words for being “weak on borders, weak on crime.”

Trump had no problem using names later on Twitter.

“Phoenix crowd last night was amazing – a packed house. I love the Great State of Arizona. Not a fan of Jeff Flake, weak on crime & border!” Trump tweeted.

President Trump also said he believes the United States will “end up probably terminating” the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico at some point…Personally, I don’t think we can make a deal because we have been so badly taken advantage of.”
