Trump cautions GOP of ‘being played’ by Democrats in Congress
Former US President Donald Trump has cautioned Republican leaders of “being played” by Democrats in Congress.
The Republican leader released a statement, urging his colleagues not to support the infrastructure initiative put forward by Democrats.
“RINO Republicans should stop negotiating the infrastructure deal—you are just being played by the Radical Left Democrats—they will give you nothing!” Trump said, using the acronym for Republican In Name Only.
He further reminded GOP lawmakers of the tax cuts he introduced in his administration, widely criticized as tax cuts for the rich.
“Very important that Senate Republicans not allow our hard-earned tax reductions to be terminated or amended in an upward trajectory in any way, shape, or form,” he said. “They should not be making deals on increasing taxes for the fake infrastructure proposals being put forward by Democrats, almost all of which goes to the ridiculous Green New Deal Marxist agenda. Keep the Trump Administrations tax cuts just where they are.”
President Joe Biden has managed to reach a bipartisan deal with US senators.
Apart from that, a much larger infrastructure package with Democratic priorities is set to pass without Republican support.
"The era of bipartisanship on this stuff is over. ... This is not going to be done on a bipartisan basis. This is going to be a hell of a fight over what this country ought to look like in the future, and it's going to unfold here in the next few weeks. I don't think we've had a bigger difference of opinion between the two parties," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said about the spending package.
Currently, the lawmakers are in a recess and will return to Capitol Hill after the two-week July 4th holidays are over.
