Donald Trump exploded at the longtime Senate parliamentarian as his wishlist of priorities remains in jeopardy on Capitol Hill.
But while the president has raged at the woman tasked with advising on Senate procedures and what can be included in legislation, Republican lawmakers have pointed out that Trump might not have the necessary votes for the $1 billion in funding he needs for his ballroom.
“Shockingly, Republicans have kept the very important position of ‘Parliamentarian’ in the hands of a woman, Elizabeth MacDonough, who was appointed, long ago, by Barack Hussein Obama and a vicious Lunatic known as Senator Harry Reid, who ran the Senate for the Dumocrats with an ‘iron fist,’” Trump ranted in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday.
