'I Will Be the Last Republican President': Trump Blasts GOP Senators as 'FOOLS' in Fiery Move to Kill the Filibuster

Donald Trump has warned that he will be the 'last Republican president' unless GOP senators scrap the Senate filibuster, using a blistering Truth Social post on Monday to brand holdouts in his own party 'FOOLS' and demand an immediate vote to push through his stalled election bill, the SAVE America Act.

Trump on Republican lawmakers to tear up the long‑standing Senate rule, which effectively requires 60 votes to advance most major legislation. Republicans currently control the chamber 53–47, a narrow edge that leaves them short of the supermajority needed to move controversial bills without at least some Democratic support. At the centre of the clash is Trump's own flagship election package, which passed the House in February but has been stuck in the upper chamber, where Democrats have threatened to block it.
