Donald Trump, the former president, has sternly criticized the Senate’s bipartisan border bill which was released recently. He calls it a “trap” for Republicans managed by Democrats and is disapproving of certain points in real news reports.

In an all-hands-on-deck situation, lawmakers unveiled their much-anticipated border legislation on Sunday. A complete Senate vote expected to take place soon. The outcome still remains uncertain due to waning support from the Republican side.

President Trump expressed his disdain for the border bill on Truth Social Monday morning where he indicated his stance with a hard-hitting statement, “Only an inept person or Radical Left Democrat would vote for this horrendous Border Bill.” He criticizes that the bill only authorizes closing operations after 5000 daily encounters even though there exists the right to SHUT DOWN THE BORDER NOW. In Trump’s perspective, this must be done sooner rather than later.

He continued his critique of the bill by explaining how this proposed legislation offers a substantial advantage to Democrats while spelling doom for the Republican party. “The deplorable state of Immigration and Border processing that Democrats have created is then absolved with this bill and squarely dumps its entire load onto Republicans – don’t fall for it,” warns Trump in direct address.

Trump advocated that Republicans need a separate border bill that should not get tangled with foreign aid under any circumstance and suggested Democrats tackle immigration and boundary issues since they ostensibly broke them.

Engaging again on Truth Social later on Monday morning, Trump even more strongly rebuked about ‘ridiculous’. According to him, it’s just an intricate trap set by Radical Left Democrats for Republicans intending to put blame on their shoulders concerning the border crisis as vital elections approach.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed that Wednesday will see its first procedural voting on the floor. Nevertheless, some Republicans already signaled non-support.

A $118 billion deal personified within the bill, is devised to strengthen asylum prerequisites, close the southern border if immigrant encounters reach certain thresholds, and earmark billions of dollars fornot only border necessities but also Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.

The bill will have a challenging path through Senate due to already emergent skepticism amongst multiple conservative senators.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) tapped into his disapproval by labelling it as ‘an open borders’ deal that already has Democrats cheering. In parallel, Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) staunchly conveyed her decision on not supporting the legislation.

This controversial bill was also debunked by top Republicans in House. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) rejected it right away declaring its future in the House to be doomed and even surpassing negative expectations. Simultaneously, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) denounced the bill as a magnet for illegal immigration and refused to bring it up for voting in the house.

Today’s discussion underscores one thing: It is absolutely critical for citizens now more than ever before to get access to trusted news sources that are aligned with their Christian worldview so they can make educated decisions on this important subject matter.
