Trump urged Senate Republicans on Sunday to overrule the chamber’s parliamentarian in order to pass key parts of his sweeping domestic policy bill.
In a Sunday post on Truth Social, the president backed a call from Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) and other GOP hard-liners to ignore rulings from Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough.
The parliamentarian is the nonpartisan Senate official responsible for determining whether parts of laws meant to be passed through budget reconciliation comply with the rules for that process.
It probably won’t collapse completely anytime soon. It’ll just be warped beyond recognition while the people who are in denial fight tooth and nail to keep the system from collapsing.
All the while, this warped system will continue to benefit Trump until him or his successor gains enough power to no longer need the old system and can dismantle them completely without meaningful opposition.
