Trump lauds Schumer for "doing the right thing" with GOP stopgap spending bill
President Donald Trump praised Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Friday for announcing he’d vote for Republicans’ stopgap spending bill.
“Congratulations to Chuck Schumer for doing the right thing — Took ‘guts’ and courage!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post in which he said that “the big Tax Cuts, L.A. fire fix, Debt Ceiling Bill, and so much more, is coming.”
He added: “We should all work together on that very dangerous situation. A non pass would be a Country destroyer, approval will lead us to new heights.”
Trump lauded the New York Democrat, writing, “Again, really good and smart move by Senator Schumer. This could lead to something big for the USA, a whole new direction and beginning! DJT”
Some context: The Democratic leader’s decision privately disappointed many in his caucus, and stunned his House colleagues across the US Capitol — leaving the party deeply divided on the path ahead at a moment when their base is clamoring for a strong response against Trump and Elon Musk’s actions to radically reshape the federal government.
“We are in a perverse, bizarro land where we’re having to decide between letting Donald Trump wreck the government this way or wreck the government that way,” New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker said of Democrats’ predicament.
