Trump China

President Donald Trump’s political revenge tour met its potential match this week as angry Republican senators finally said no, even if temporarily. Pushed to a breaking point by his demand for a $1.776 billion fund for Jan. 6 rioters and others he believes were wrongly prosecuted, senators simply refused and left for break. The moment was a sudden flex from the Republican majority almost always more willing to accommodate the Republican president than confront him. The result left unfinished for now the GOP’s top priority of passing a roughly $70 billion budget package that would fuel Trump’s immigration and deportation operations.
