Trump’s heated rhetorical attacks on Democratic lawmakers, whom he called out as “traitors” who deserve to be jailed, have left his Republican allies in Washington dumbfounded and skeptical about any bipartisan dealmaking at the end of 2025.
Republican lawmakers and strategists fear Trump is undermining his own credibility and ability to get anything done before the midterm election.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Sunday that Trump labeling his political opponents as traitors was “reckless” and “irresponsible.”
They’re dumbfounded because he’s the one doing it and not them.
Republicans have had a long history of stone-walling Democrats and outright working against them in spite. Nothing new, people.
