The former president is telling Republicans he “doesn’t want Biden to have a victory” in 2024, said a source familiar with the bipartisan negotiations.
Donald Trump on Wednesday privately pressured Senate Republicans to “kill” a bipartisan deal to secure the U.S. border because he doesn’t want President Joe Biden to chalk up a win ahead of the 2024 presidential election, according to a source familiar with the tenuous negotiations on the package.
Trump directly reached out to several GOP senators on Wednesday to tell them to reject any deal, said this source, who requested anonymity to speak freely. The GOP presidential frontrunner also personally reached out to some Senate Republicans over the weekend, the source told HuffPost.
“Trump wants them to kill it because he doesn’t want Biden to have a victory,” said the source. “He told them he will fix the border when he is president… He said he only wants the perfect deal.”
No surprise there. Senate Republicans want another delay in a Democrat win to fuck over America. Remember how Iran delayed releasing hostages so Reagan could use it against Carter?

Trump did it also with tax break for workers that ended during Biden’s term as well as the disaster Afghanistan retreat was negotiated by Trump to occur in Biden’s first 100 days.

Well, not just America. Remember that part of the border deal crap involves Republicans agreeing to fund military aid to Ukraine. Ukraine is defending themselves from Russia. Putin runs Russia. Trump really likes Putin, far more than any normal person would.
Trump is a fucking traitor.
Also, there’s a non-zero chance we’ll get dragged into a war with Russia if Putin attacks a NATO country after Ukraine. Senators know that if we don’t fund Ukraine now, it will be much worse for everyone later, and potentially having Trump at the helm during that time would be an unmitigated disaster.
Honestly if Trump gets back into office I’m joining the legion.
There are more than a few articles about how people had to sandbag things to stop him from trying to unilaterally withdraw from NATO.
Maybe if this happens again, with most of the adults purged from the room, next time, if there are any left, one adult will just pull out their revolver and sandbag this up properly for everyone.
Don’t tempt me with a good time
I just can’t really see Russia invading a NATO country. I mean, they would be either completely destroyed relatively quickly, or we’re talking WW3 and a couple thousand years of rebuilding.
Then again, a dying man has nothing to lose. Who knows if the rumors of him having cancer are true, but he’s certainly no spring chicken, at any rate.
We really should start treating such things as the treason it is.
^^ This comment wins.
Nixon and Reagan both sabotaged deals to get elected. Now we’re seeing it play out as an even stupider farce.
I know about Reagan’s “October Surprise” deal, but I’m unfamiliar with Nixon’s. Would you please tell me what to look into?
He undermined a vietnam war ceasefire negotiation if I recall.
Yeah, and that was why the Watergate break-in happened. He was worried that the opposition knew about it
Thanks
This is what happens when traitors escape consequences.
I fucking hate Trump so much dude
Same. I can’t even watch home alone anymore. Literally hate that movie now, he ruined it.
Straight out of the Nixon playbook.
In all but the particulars this is the Nixon/Humphrey election.
Swap out Vietnam for border
Swap out the eve of the election for a year before the election
Swap out an evil pseudo-intellectual for an evil fucking idiot
GOP congressmen were literally complaining about not having any accomplishments to show during this term, and their strategy is to keep doing nothing? Awesome plan dudes, keep it up.
What would they have to complain about if they fixed the stuff they complain about?
Next, he’ll try running guns for hostages to defeat the Democrats.
So 5-10 years ago, this would be political suicide and the rhetoric was never this violent and polarized.
I worry where we will be in the next 5-10 years if this trend continues.
We’re going to be fighting Fascism at least until Trump is too old or senile to keep going. He has a death grip on the party, but at least nobody else thus far can take up his mantle.
The bitch of fascism is always in heat. When he croaks it his supporters won’t suddenly turn into rational people, another piece of shit will pick up the torch.
They’ll certainly try, but the movement won’t be the same. They want Trump, not somebody else.
They are fragile people. If that dude shits his pants on television their entire identity immediately falls apart.
Come to think of it, check him for diapers.
Holy shit what a child. This is literally what children do.
Reagan would be so fucking proud.

So if Texas is really being invaded, this is treason? Your move, Abbot.
Here I was all ready to pull up my old man pants and go “Like Reagan?” with links to the October Surprise bullshit and y’all beat me to it.
Y’all make me proud today!
(ties onion to belt)
The republican traitor filth must be crushed.
Pulling more shit out of the Reagan handbook.
Then Democrats will get to say they made huge concessions on parole and asylum during these talks, and Trump tanked it. That’s a much better space politically than they were in just before these Senate talks began. But, it doesn’t matter since the voters will be set early and won’t remember that Trump owns the problem.
You’re right, they won’t remember. People have already forgotten how much Republicans refuse every single thing Biden has tried to do and act like Biden didn’t even try at all. These people also ignore what he didn’t accomplish and down vote me when I bring it up.
