Republicans appear to have 'blown a circuit' after Trump remarks
President Donald Trump's decision to call Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a "dictator" and accuse him of starting the war with Russia President Vladimir Putin after the Russian strongman invaded his country appears to have initiated a revolt among key Republican lawmakers.
That is according to Washington Post columnist David Ignatius who told an MSNBC panel of political observers that, after 30 days in office, Trump has pushed members of his own caucus too far.
After MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski shared clips of key Republicans including Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), John Kennedy (R-LA) shooting down the president's remarks and calling out Putin as a "murderer," Ignatius claimed Trump has pushed them too far.
Extremes and bald-faced lies are bad, and it seems that Trump has gone too far by calling Zelenski a Dictator and saying that he started the war.
If he loses the Senate support, he will have trouble continuing forward in doing the things he has done, the way he has done them. He may "want" to be king but without all the branches of government helping him, he will not likely be successful.
