Republicans “weak and tired”
Trump rages after defeat in parliament
The House of Representatives overrides the veto of the president of the United States on the defense budget, with the help of MPs from his own party. Trump is now mad at them on Twitter. And he affirms again that he was the real winner of the American elections.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, reacted angrily because his veto to the defense budget was rejected by the House of Representatives with numerous votes of the parliamentarians of his own party. His Republican Party leadership was “weak and tired,” the president wrote in a short Twitter message he sent from his vacation at the Mar-a-Lago resort. “We need a new and energetic Republican leadership,” added the 74-year-old in capital letters.
Trump also expressed anger that Republicans were gradually backing away from his claims that he won the November 3 presidential election against Democrat Joe Biden. Indirectly he affirmed again that he had won the elections. “Can you imagine if the Republicans stole a presidential election from the Democrats?” Trump asked in his tweet. In this case, “hell would break out.” The Republican leadership, however, has taken the “path of least resistance.”
In the US state of Georgia, senatorial elections are scheduled for next week, which will determine whether Republicans or Democrats will have a majority in the Senate in the future. Trump is expected to travel to Georgia on January 4 to support Republican candidates David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler. Georgia tends to fall to the Republicans, but Biden won a slim majority in the presidential election. So Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock have a chance of winning in Georgia.
During his tenure, Trump was able to rely heavily on Republican supporters in Congress. However, since his electoral defeat to Biden, he has encountered increasing resistance from the ranks of Republican members of Congress. For example, MPs from his own party criticized his refusal, which had lasted for days, to sign the new mega package of aid against the crisis of the crown worth about 900,000 million dollars. Trump then relented on Sunday and signed the package of measures in force. Trump’s term expires on January 20. On this day, Biden is scheduled to be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.
