Trump Calls Border Bill ‘Trap’ For Republicans: ‘Don’t Be Stupid!’ | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Former President Donald Trump slammed the Senate's bipartisan border bill on Monday, calling it a "trap" set by Democrats for Republicans.

    Senators released the final version of a long-awaited border bill on Sunday afternoon. The bill will likely face a full Senate vote soon, but it is unclear whether it will pass, especially as it continues to bleed Republican support.

    "Only a fool, or a Radical Left Democrat, would vote for this horrendous Border Bill, which only gives Shutdown Authority after 5000 Encounters a day, when we already have the right to CLOSE THE BORDER NOW, which must be done," Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday morning.

    "This Bill is a great gift to the Democrats, and a Death Wish for The Republican Party," Trump continued. "It takes the HORRIBLE JOB the Democrats have done on Immigration and the Border, absolves them, and puts it all squarely on the shoulders of Republicans. Don't be STUPID!!!"

    The former president said Republicans need a separate border bill that is not "tied to foreign aid in any way, shape, or form," saying Democrats "broke Immigration and the Border. They should fix it."

    Trump posted again later Monday morning, saying the "ridiculous" border bill is "nothing more than a highly sophisticated trap for Republicans to assume the blame on what the Radical Left Democrats have done to our Border, just in time for our most important EVER Election. Don't fall for it!!!"

    Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the bill will have its first procedural vote on the floor on Wednesday.

    However, some Republicans have already said they will not support it.

    The $118 billion deal would tighten asylum requirements, shut down the southern border if immigrant encounters hit certain levels, and send billions of dollars to not only the border but Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.

    The bill faces an uphill battle in the Senate, with several conservative senators already casting doubt on whether they will support it.

    "This is an open-borders bill if I've ever seen one. The Democrats are celebrating already," Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) said on X.

    Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said she will "never vote to make illegal immigration legal, and I will not support this deal."

    The two top Republicans in the House both said the bill is a non-starter in the lower chamber.


    House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said the bill is "dead on arrival" in the House and called it "even worse than we expected."

    House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) also slammed the bill, vowing it will not receive a vote in the House and calling it "a magnet for more illegal immigration."

Understanding that there are two firm positions concerning the Open Border Crises, but many realties regarding its current, and, or projected real impacts to the functioning, sustainability of this Constitutional Republic: What position below best represents what you know to be true regarding this impactful policy?

  The United States' must continue the Executive initiative of Open Borders until a Democratic Congress can codify full Demographic Inclusion by keeping the Biden /Harris Open Borders policy in place.

  Our United States' borders are sovereign just as are our self-governed citizens, where borders must be maintained, monitored and defended, which is the position of core Republicans.

  I am in favor of Open Borders to make my America more of a global community; however, the federal government must now fix problems that "Red State" governors have caused in our cities.

  I do NOT favor the Democratic Socialists' disruption of the cultural fabric of my Representative Republic, and there will be Treasonous Hell to Pay when the certain calamity begins in earnest.

Considering what real news is available for all to witness, and in great specificity, should one pursue what is true outside of the channeled realm of the corrupt corporate /legacy media, and: Is Institutionalized Corruption real, and is it a hindrance to sustaining our Constitutional Republic now, and for future generations of American citizens?

  Yes

Should the Institutionalized Corruption of the Biden /Harris Administration, in this separate instance the Open Border Policy of our Sovereign Southern Border, be not only tolerated, but sanctioned by the raising of local spending by local politicians to pay for these now visible and known effects of rampant, and out-of-control Illegal Immigration?

  Yes, it is a kind thing to do, and a way that our county, our state can aid in this tremendous effort toward local federal foreign aid; and now, thankfully, in great abundance.

  No, our Constitutional Republic WILL NOT continue to exist, as our United States of America, if we do not control our sovereign borders, to protect our citizens, to keep them solvent and safe.

  I only consider what is topical and popular since my friends, too, only care to do the same.

Considering the deep morass of complete incompetence at the Federal level, in the executive branch of our self-governed People, unarguably the worst in modern times; if certain changes could be made by Impeachment of those most qualified: Who would be your best choice because of abject Corruption, incompetence, or both?

  Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

  Attorney General Merrick Garland

  President Joseph R. Biden

  Are you a MAGA Extremist, and do not know any better? These are our best of days, not our worst.
