Trump Tweets His Outrage On Fiscal Cliff: ‘Republicans May Be The Worst Negotiators In History!’

Donald Trump slammed members of his own party Tuesday, Tweeting that Republicans “may be the worst negotiators in history.” Trump was, of course, speaking about the last-minute fiscal cliff deal, which was passed in the Senate early Tuesday morning. Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) were the main proponents of the deal, which is being seen as a compromise for both Democrats and Republicans.


Trump continued blasting his party via Twitter, posting, “Obama and the Democrats are laughing at the deal they just made…the Republicans got nothing!”


Mere hours earlier, Trump had Tweeted that Republicans “have all the cards…but they just don’t know it.” He was referring to the coming debate over the debt ceiling, which he previously called the GOP’s “nuclear weapon.”

I would definitely take another look at whatever it was I happened to be agreeing with him on.

If "someone" happens to support what appears to be the same policy as a political opponent, then that "someone" will be immediately pigeon-holed with the political opponent.

The inability to think here at DU has become a pandemic.

We have hordes of non-thinking, emotionally driven sheep following each other around as they randomly make irrational pronouncements.

Let's take this one as an example: Trump has declared that the GOP in the Senate has sold out and demonstrated a lack of spine. We have a lot of noisy DUers saying exactly the same thing about Obama but for exactly the opposite reasons. Both cannot be correct. My opinion is that Trump is probably right and the Obama detractors are a bunch of overly dramatic attention whores.

Here's one, he's considerably closer to agreeing with you than he is to my position.

My point being that it's easy to nutpick from the posters here on DU, we have nuts of all descriptions and they are by no means limited to just the EmoProg Firebaggers.

He can't even rally registered republicans to call their representatives. (Sorry for the alliteration.)
