The Daily Blast: Trump’s Angry New Tirades Push Mike Johnson into Awkward Clean-Up Mode

In recent days, President Trump issued two furious tirades demanding that Republicans end the Senate filibuster to reopen the government. He r anted at great length in demanding this “NOW” and exploded in all-caps while urging the “NUCLEAR OPTION.” As many noted , this undercut Republicans, revealing that they could simply end the shutdown themselves, ultimately showing that they control the government . Then Trump ranted about his horror that health care premiums are set to spike for millions. This, too, undercuts the GOP, because guess who won’t extend Affordable Care Act subsidies to prevent that? Republicans! Trump’s fury forced Mike Johnson into an awkward routine declaring that the president is “angry” because...the government hasn’t reopened. But this just showed how disconnected Trump is from all this, highlighting the Trump-GOP refusal to do the hard work of negotiating a settlement. We talked to Fair Share America organizer Maura Quint. She discusses Trump’s deep laziness, how this is perceived by low-info voters, and whether this will allow Democrats to penetrate Trump-dominated info spaces. Looking for More from the DSR Network?
