Trump admits to trying to tank border deal to prevent a Biden win

President Joe Biden called on lawmakers to pass a bipartisan border bill for “tougher border control,” issuing a rare statement on ongoing congressional negotiations as House Republicans and former President Donald Trump threaten to derail a potential deal. #CNN #News

When Trump conditioned military aid to Ukraine on a political favor, he put his interests above the country's. When he downplayed and lied about Covid because he thought it was going to hurt him politically, he put his interests above the country's. This is just another example of Trump putting his interests above our country's interests.

This man currently holds no office or position of any kind! How is he telling anyone what to do? Get a hold of yourselves republicans!

The BORDER problem has been an issue for decades. Congress needs to fix this not just the President! Many of these Congressmen/Senators have been there for 20+ years and done nothing about it!!

Someone please explain to me how a 4 time indicted criminal, potentially facing life in prison, is allowed to influence the people's business? Our government is an utter joke.

[ebear]

Just another example that the GOP does not give a s*** about fixing the Border

[Historynerd]

It's hard to believe how pathetic our government has become. I hope the people of our great country see the games the Republicans have been and still are playing.

[borislazo]

Yep good old Republicans hard at work like always blocking progress

[donlewis]

Donald Trump is not an elected official, nor has he won his party's presidential nomination.

What a shame to let this man control them.They are only hurting themselves by believing and doing anything he says.

8:20 If anyone who thinks that trump gives a damn about this country you are truly lost everyday and night this coward shows that he should never be near that white house door ever

[mycat]

How can we get the supporters of this dictator to understand how bad this behavior is for the country?

[eddydormilus]

Creating chaos is the easiest thing in the world, and it seems that Donald Trump is the master of it.

I’ve been a swing voter all my life, but that was when the Republican Party was concerned about issues, not a personality cult. I’m voting a straight Blue ticket for 10 years. When the GOP crashes and burns, there is a chance a new party will emerge which is concerned about issues again. Perhaps there can emerge a multi-party system. Let’s be honest, a two party system does not represent most people well. It’s too inclusive. Government needs coalitions, not a two party system.

Republicans would rather serve Trump than serve the American people.

[ohioagainsttheworld]

yup, watched it over again. and never once does it say or show where Trump openly said this. headline is a complete lie.

[trufan]

Biden and Dems need to jump on this. Fox features a constant banner ‘Biden’s Border Crisis.’ This political move by Trump and the GQP needs to be the first of the Dems talking points.

[keepthepeacesharethelove]

Of course the republikkkans didn't or don't want to solve any problems, because they would lose their taking point.

[renatetrittelvitz]

Trump says what serves him, he admits something and denies the same thing in the same sentence if necessary. Contradictions don't mean anything for him. I wonder how he was raised, how it was for the adults to raise him, what a child he was, how he learned and perfected his no- conscience-game.

[jaymass]

The bill had more money for Ukraine than for our own border!

[daddyjoe]

What is wrong with this people in Congress don't they know the difference between president and expresident? They should be consulting with the president not the expresident and fix the border problem.
