President Donald Trump unleashed his wrath on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer amid their ongoing feud.
In a scathing post on Truth Social Wednesday, Trump accused Schumer of “extortion” and called out the Democratic party as “thugs.”
Trump’s comments came after the Senate headed into recess last week without reaching a deal to confirm the world leader’s 150-plus nominees, despite his repeated demands for the upper chamber to do so. The move has left Republicans angered with Schumer and Senate Democrats over the stalemate.
“Politically embattled Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, wants the Republicans to pay, as EXTORTION, TWO BILLION DOLLARS in order for the Radical Left Democrats to approve the hundreds of Trump Appointments who have been waiting for months, and are raring’ to go,” the POTUS wrote.
Trump then argued that “never in U.S. history” have the president’s nominees been impeded in the Senate in such a manner.
