Trump says Thune 'will do an outstanding job' as Senate majority leader

[YoursTruly]

There are no guarantees...but you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

Yeah well that's a great cliche when your talking about your love life. But not politics. Trump dished out the honey like he was big time bee farmer his first go round. And it got him nothing. That's with both R majorities and after the D's took control of the house.

We didn't elect Trump to appease the RINO's or the left. His "art of the deal" strategy sucks.

And FFS, why are Trump supporters making so many excuses? The R's have the House, Senate and supreme court. There's no more excuses to be made. All this big talk about how Trumps going to come in and steam roll the left, the RINO's and the establishment is now taking a backseat to lame excuses.

Trump's tune will change the first time Thune doesn't bend over for him.

Thune isn't any better than McConnell. But Trump likes him (too). Thune is a dem-lite. His liberty score is 56%, just like McConnell's.

Trump says Thune 'will do an outstanding job' as Senate majority leader​

President-elect Donald Trump congratulated Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., after the lawmaker won election to serve as the next Senate Republican leader.

Republicans won the majority in the House and Senate during the 2024 elections.

"Congratulations to Senator John Thune, the Newly Elected Senate Majority Leader. He moves quickly, and will do an outstanding job," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Trumpy managed to produce a rare lucid statement.

Trumpy managed to produce a rare lucid statement.

There will likely be many more in the future. Trump isn't the muscle bound bad ass as depicted in his memes.
His big thing is that he wants to be popular, with everyone liking and admiring him.

I'm not an idiot, dude. I simply oppose the left and the RINO's who act exactly like the left.

I still have conservative values. Unlike Trump supporters who are fine with RINO's like Trump, Thune, Mike Johnson etc etc etc.

All yall seem to do is make excuses for Trump, every time he slaps you with his RINOism.

If Trump really wanted a constitutional and fiscally responsible GOP, he would've railed against Thune.

You are an idiot.

You undermine the only conservative candidate over and over to the benefit of the liberal candidate.

You're either an idiot or an undercover liberal.

My vote is 'both'.

Now **** straight the **** off Jake Starkey.

Trump won and your time is over, whether that's Liz Cheney or Kamala Harris, nobody gives a ****.

Trump doesn't like thune...but when thune has the power to derail Trumps presidency...he can't go around calling thune "pencil neck" now can he?

Oh, that ^^^ will happen.
Matter of time.

 

[Thunk]

the RINO's and the establishment is now taking a backseat to lame excuses.

Calm yourself...Trumps inauguration is still 9 weeks away.

You still have oodles and oodles of time to melt down!

He has the support. He has the popularity. He even has the book, "The art of the deal." Something that supposedly means he's an awesome deal maker. A good closer.

Well, he didn't have the "art of the deal" his first go round. As he didn't get anything he said he wanted. Instead, he spent 4 years acting just like a RINO or dem lite. Giving Pelosi everything she wanted and getting nothing in return.

Now he's praising Thune, who also voted right along with the democrats and RINO's.

You see this as errors. I see it as Trump simply being a RINO. The only error is how Republicans think Trump is anything but a RINO.

I am certain if he does something like you typed, he will hear it. Trump is not a conservative. He has some conservative agendas. He is a populist. We will see who does not make it in his picks, and we will see perhaps the reasons besides someone's character.

He didn't hear it when he was signing all those spending bills, not ending a war, assaulting our 2A, trying to push socialist BS on us (Platinum Plan, Trumpcare). He didn't hear nothing when he was either caving to or appeasing the left.
Why would anything change now?

The fact that Trump didn't speak out against a RINO like Thune, and is now praising him, is something republicans should be screaming their heads off over. Not it's nothing more than excuses.

Trump supporters need to get it out of their heads that Trump is some sort of political genius. That he has some genius plan to work with anything that happens. Put this entire puzzle together and it's nothing more than Trump still has a LOT of liberal tendencies and beliefs.

^^^^ Another excuse, FFS. How many excuses do the Trump supporters have?
Now it's "wait til after he's in office." How lame is that? Things he's doing now (or not doing) is setting up the next 4 years.

If you're as tired of big spending, big government RINO's, say it.

 

[YoursTruly]

What Thunk said is only an excuse. If Trump didn't like Thune, he would've said something when Thune nomination for the majority leader came up. But he didn't. And now he's praising Thune.

DC swamp rat Thune is on a very short leash. I'd say it's 50/50 odds that he will go full RINO and ally with Democrats, sabotaging Trump.

They say it's "America first." Actually it's always Trump first. Every.......single...........time.

He and Trump are both RINO's. They both ally with the democrats. FFS, Trump gave Pelosi everything she wanted. Since, he's side with Mike Johnson, just after the FISA reauthorization bill passed. Even after all the CR and the omnibus bills that Johnson got passed.
How much more proof do Trump supporters need?

 

[BluesLegend]

He and Trump are both RINO's.

LOL RINO's are furious that you compared them to Trump.

 

[Billiejeens]

I just hope thune heard the American people loud & clear!

You block Trumps efforts and you'll answer to 75 million pissed off Americans!

He only answers to people in his state.
