Trump Rages As Republicans Continue To Ignore His Advice

Donald Trump has been offering all sorts of legislative advice for the Republican Party in the last few months, and Republicans have completely ignored everything that he's told them to do. This isn't sitting well with the former President, and he continues to rage on social media about the GOP. But this could be a signal that the Party doesn't fear him like he's always thought, and Farron Cousins explains what could be responsible for this shift.

Over the last month, Donald Trump has offered some, uh, well, I guess we'll just call it advice to Republican lawmakers, both at the federal level and of course at the state level. And he's getting angrier by the day because no Republicans are listening to him. Now, let's rewind the clock a little bit. Think back to that idiotic CNN town hall that Donald Trump did, where he actually encouraged Republicans to just default on the public debt. Like, do not make a negotiation on the debt ceiling. If Biden doesn't cave to all of your demands. Let the country default because he said it would, uh, lead to basically a bad week or a bad day. Like that's it, you know, shutting down the entire government, not paying our debts and obligations. It was just a bad week or maybe even just a bad day, is the advice Donald Trump told people. But he wasn't done there. It went beyond the CNN Town Hall because then he got on truth social and said quote, Republicans should not make a deal on the debt ceiling unless they get everything they want. Do not fold.

Well, Republicans did pretty much get most of what they wanted, and Biden is the one who did fold on many issues. But it does appear that we have an agreement on the debt ceiling and we are going to avoid a default. So they didn't take Donald Trump's advice. Republicans did cave on a couple issues, not as much as we would have liked to have seen. There are still gonna be a lot of people hurting from this negotiation, but a negotiation did in fact happen and Donald Trump said, don't do it. But Republicans did it anyway. Even Kevin McCarthy admitted that I only spoke to Donald Trump. He said, quote for a second about the death ceiling. And Trump just said, get a good deal, bud. And that's it. And of course, more recently than that, this past weekend, Donald Trump got on truth social and urged all Republicans in the Texas state legislature to not impeach embattled, attorney General Ken Paxton.

And then those Republicans proceeded to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton. Trump wasn't happy about that. So Trump got on true social again after that and said, missing in action. Where is the governor of Texas on his attorney General's impeachment and, uh, Texas Republican Governor, Greg Abbott has still not said a word. So Trump's out there like, don't impeach him. They impeach him. Greg Abbott say something, Greg Abbott doesn't say something. What we're seeing right now, and of course Trump has also come out and said, Ron, DeSantis get tough against Disney. They're screwing you over. Um, DeSantis doesn't know what else to do here, but what's happening is that Donald Trump is giving advice, very terrible advice to Republicans and they're ignoring him. So I think what's happening is that Republicans, both at the federal and state level, are starting to realize

That, that Donald Trump doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. They're finally starting to, uh, see through this facade that he has created and realize that this is not a master negotiator. This is not a master legislator. This is just an idiot with a political agenda, with a vendetta, basically. It's not even an agenda. It's a vendetta. Protect your friends, punish your enemies. That's all Trump is about. That's all he wants to do. That's what he wanted to do with the debt ceiling is punish the Democrats. That's what he wanted to do in Texas. Protect his ally, Ken Paxton. And nobody cared if Trump is in fact losing power. And I think it's a little early to go ahead and make that diagnosis and say, yes, you are losing power. But I, I do think we're starting to see some cracks. I do think we're starting to see Republicans look at Donald Trump as not the only one out there anymore.
