President Trump Has Had It With Leader John Thune

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has not allowed President Trump to make a single recess appointment. Why is that? The American people deserve to know why the Majority Leader is blocking the president’s agenda. And the American people also deserve to know why Senate Republicans have not removed Thune from leadership. As far as I’m concerned, at this point every Republican senator is complicit. They’ve played games with the America First agenda for 2 years. Lots of talk. Lots of condemnation. But no action. (Too Starnes)

Jim Banks is now the third Senator to oppose August recess until the SAVE America Act passes.

“We don’t need a recess. Let’s pass the SAVE America Act. It’s more important than taking a break, taking a recess!”

President Trump just BLASTED Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Truth Social — and he’s FED UP.

Zero. Recess. Appointments.
ZERO.
Other presidents got dozens. Trump has gotten NONE.
Thune is just another Mitch McConnell in the Senate.
Horrible.

Never liked Trump.

Thune is working for the Democrats.

Do they have pictures with Thune with a farm animal? What do they have on him?

OH MY GOSH!

Senator Jim Banks said, “We don’t need a recess — let’s pass the SAVE America Act.”

“It’s more important than taking a break.”

“I’ve heard from people everywhere I go — from the diner this morning to the grocery store: pass the SAVE America Act.”

GOP Sen. John Kennedy warns John Thune ‘being too cautious’ as Trump agenda hangs in the balance

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) needs to get to work on passing the rest of President Trump’s agenda with fewer than 100 days to go before the midterm elections, a key member of the GOP’s rank-and-file warned Sunday.

“Look, I mean no disrespect. I love John Thune. He’s my leader. He’s got a big brain. He’s better looking than me, but I think he’s just being too cautious,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) told CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” adding that the majority leader “wants to spend the rest of our time talking with [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer about shutting down government, and the Graham Platner wing of the [Democratic] party is, his party, is not going to let Schumer agree with us.

“They already want to give Schumer a bathrobe, a Popsicle, and an early bedtime, and have him retire. I don’t think Chuck can agree with us,” Kennedy predicted. “I think he’s going to shut down government.”

“We need to put the, the House budget resolution on the floor,” Kennedy told host Margaret Brennan. “It’s the only chance we have to get money to defense, the farmers, and to take another crack at the SAVE Act. We need to add Iran to the [Lindsey] Graham Russian sanctions bill and vote on it. We need to put the cryptocurrency market structure bill on the floor and vote on it.”

Currently, a shutdown is set to begin at 11:59 p.m. ET Sept. 30.

“That to me is what the SAVE Act is all about, and I think we can pass it … but we’re not going to know if we don’t try.”

The Louisianan’s comments came three days after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Trump’s “patience is running out” with Thune.

A day earlier, the president had told supporters in Georgia to “call John Thune, he’s the leader of the Republican Party, and tell him to get this stuff approved.”

Democrats have repeatedly blocked Republican attempts to bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor for debate.
