President Trump used his Michigan 100-day speech to hammer Democrats and Republican “grandstanders.”
For blocking his big beautiful budget reconciliation bill.
He warned that failure would unleash the highest tax increase in history on Americans.
Later he urged voters to “remember who those grandstanders were and vote them the hell out of office.”
Who are they? There’s a few names floating around that would fit that label.
It was a classic Trump rally moment during his 100th day celebration.
Fox News reports:
During a speech in Michigan marking his first 100 days in office, President Donald Trump slammed Democrats and Republican “grandstanders” opposing his “big beautiful” budget reconciliation bill, saying if they succeed, Americans will see the “highest tax increase in history.”
He said his bill has “100% just about Republican support,” adding it “would be nice if we had just a couple of Democrats just to make sure, because, you know, every once in a while, you have a grandstander Republican. We have some grandstanders.”
As the crowd booed, Trump noted there were “not many” Republicans opposing his bill, but he urged viewers to “remember who those grandstanders were and vote them the hell out of office.”
Trump cautioned that if the bill fails, the U.S. is “going to have the highest tax increase in history instead of the greatest tax cut in history.”
“If the Democrats prevail on this bill, you get a 58% tax increase,” Trump told the crowd. “Would you like that?
“All my life I’ve been watching, and I’ve never heard people campaigning that they’re going to raise taxes. It’s always been, ‘We will reduce your taxes.’ Democrat, Republican. Now, they go, ‘We’re going to raise your taxes. I’ve never seen all the years that they campaign. ‘We will raise your taxes.’ I said, ‘This country has gone crazy.’”

People are saying Rand Paul is also one.
Here Paul says he’s against tariffs and that “they don’t work.” So, he’s an idiot or a liar, that much is certain.
Senator Rand Paul says he now has the votes needed to block Trump’s tariffs in the Senate and is co-sponsoring a bipartisan resolution to do so.
Although Paul describes himself as a Trump supporter, he says he doesn’t want to live under emergency rule.
