Former President Trump made a flurry of posts on Truth Social on Saturday, denouncing the U.S.-Mexico border agreement as a “disaster yet to come.”
In a post Saturday morning, President Trump called the southern border “the worst” in “the history of the world” and claimed the U.S. could be hit by another terrorist attack.
President Trump: “Just three years ago, we had the strongest and most secure borders in American history.” I have written In real social. “Today, we have a catastrophe ahead of us. It is the worst border in the history of the world and a wound in our once great country. Terrorists are pouring in unrestrained from all over the world. There is a 100% chance of a major terrorist attack. Close the borders!”
President Trump continued his message to Republicans in Congress that they should refrain from reaching a bipartisan agreement on the southern border.
“A bad border deal is far worse than no border deal,” Trump wrote in a separate document. post In real social.
He said that the border isWeapons of mass destruction” and the United States “the best”, referring to the timeline since President Biden took over the Oval Office, approaching the “worst” in history in “just” three years.
The former president’s stance on current Senate negotiations over aid to Ukraine and other countries and border issues is making it difficult for lawmakers to reach a consensus. It has also upset lawmakers on both sides as they grapple with the former president’s influence over the Republican Party.
One of those outraged lawmakers was Sen. Thom Tillis (RN.C.), who said it was “immoral” to withhold a border deal just to politically support the former president.
“I didn’t come here to have the president as my boss or the candidate as my boss. I came here to pass good, solid policy,” Tillis said Thursday. “It’s immoral to me to think that we’re turning a blind eye because we think this is the key to President Trump’s victory.”
Since winning the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, President Trump has opposed border legislation that includes funding for U.S. allies, in part because he doesn’t think border provisions go far enough. Not only that, but also that they want to use the southern border. The issue is against Biden, who is likely to be his rival in the November general election.
Negotiations over the U.S.-Mexico border accelerated in mid-December, when Biden administration officials and the White House joined ongoing talks. Sen. Lankford (R-Okla.), the Senate Republican’s chief border negotiator, has publicly urged the White House to join sooner since negotiations began in mid-November.
