In a furious post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump demanded that RINO Senate Majority Leader John Thune fire the Senate Parliamentarian, a far-left loon appointed by Obama and who has done her best to delay and obstruct the president’s agenda at every turn. Thune has, of course, refused, as he refuses to do anything that would aid the MAGA movement.
As background, Senate Majority Leader Thune (R-SD) has repeatedly refused to do what he needs to do to get the president’s agenda rammed through, such as by pushing the party to actually do as it must and get the SAVE America Act passed to save American elections.
President Trump, for his part, posted his demand on Truth Social. He began by calling out the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Parliamentarian, saying, “Senate Majority Leader John Thune should immediately fire the Parliamentarian, who treats Republicans, and everything that they stand for, horribly!”
Continuing, the president hammered outgoing Senator Mitch McConnell, saying, “She was put there by then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Barack Hussein Obama, need I say more? She is a nasty holdover from Mitch McConnell (A man who has proven to be very disloyal to John Thune!)”
The president then kept up the heat on McConnell, declaring that he “decided to keep her because he loved giving Trillions of Dollars to the Democrats, but for the Republicans, including the Wall, where I ended up having to go “around him” to build over 1,000 Miles, and close up our Open Border, he gave NOTHING!”
Still not done, the president added that “She is known as a Radical Left Lunatic that caters to Democrats, and has no respect for Republicans, or Republican Ideology. Just the other night, as an example, she ruled against us on a proposal that would have easily been approved, and should have been, by anyone else.”
Concluding, he said, commenting on the importance of the measure, “We have every right to change her, and should do so, IMMEDIATELY. As long as she’s there, we will never get our desperately needed, SAVE AMERICA ACT, approved, and put into full force and effect! President DONALD J. TRUMP”.

Senator Thune, predictably, betrayed Republicans yet again, and refused to do anything about the massive problem of a leftist Senate Parliamentarian holding up the president’s agenda for obviously partisan ends, working to use her power in an extremely unfair fashion to block the will of the American people.
Instead, speaking to Punchbowl News’ Andrew Desiderio, the Senate Majority Leader reportedly said, “Parliamentarian rulings break both ways. You lose a few, you win a few. That’s been true when the Democrats have been in the majority too. That’s a hard job. It’s a very specific skill set. And you need somebody that is going to be a fair referee.”
Desiderio claimed that the Parliamentarian has actually been fair to Trump, saying, “To Thune’s point — the parliamentarian ruled against R’s/Trump on the SAVE America Act (needed 60) but also saved Trump on the weaponization fund as Cassidy/Tillis were aiming for amendments at simple-majority threshold. The parliamentarian kept ruling that those required 60.”
