Trump on his budget bill: "We want to benefit Republicans. We don't want to benefit Democrat governors."

Trump argued that a GOP budget bill should help only Republican states instead of benefiting Democratic governors.

"We're going to make a couple of tweaks," Trump said of his "one big beautiful bill" during a Tuesday trip to Capitol Hill. "I mean, we don't want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better, but they don't know what they're doing."

"We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat [sic] party, let's say New York, Illinois, big ones, and let's say Gavin 'Newscum,' who's done a horrible job in California."

"We want to benefit Republicans. They are the ones that are going to make America great again," he added. "The Democrats are destroying our country."

Wow. Not surprised he said this. He always was upset at states or areas that did not vote for him. Look how he did not help with the California wildfires during his first term or when covid first hit the blue states. Only when it started hitting Florida and Texas did he get off his ass and do something.

Such petulant child.

14. In his 1st term, he "wondered out loud" if he could withhold COVID aid from blue states

And then when the building in Florida (red State) collapsed Biden met with the Desantis and told him the federal government was there to assist him. Remember Desantis caught crap from MAGA for that. Shows MAGA only cares about themselves. Screw everybody else

15. But he "doesn't know" if he has to honor the oath he took, right?

All roads still lead back to John Roberts. He owns this.

16. If thats the reason 'tweaks' go in the bill, isnt that illegal under the Equal Protection Clause?

As in, somebody can file a suit and the bill can be declared unconstitutional because the evidence of intent is he couldn't shut his fat fucking melty-brain mouth?

...but the minute I do, I'll share it here.

I can't imagine Dems are just going to swallow this. Nor should they.
