@cbsnews: President Trump delivered an ultimatum to Sens. Thom Tillis and John Cornyn on Saturday, telling them to stop stalling on confirming Todd Blanche as attorney general or he would push again to make his "anti-weaponization fund" a reality. Tillis and Cornyn have refused to vote for Blanche as the full-time attorney general unless it is put in writing that Trump will no longer pursue the "anti-weaponization fund," a nearly $1.8 billion fund to pay people who claim they were politically persecuted, which was announced in May as part of a settlement to resolve the president's lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury Department.

paulie :

You consider him to be qualified, in what alternate universe?

NnyDesign :

Let him try!!! So sick of his threats!!!!

Pickle Juice :

“One of the most respected professionals according to everybody in the country”??? Is he referring to Obama? Must be

user4775177112188 :

Hold out senators- “we’ll approve Blanche if you agree to not have the weaponizatijon fund.” Trump- “I’m no longer officially pushing for the weaponization fund, but if you don’t approve Blanche, I’m going to push for it again.” Makes total, logical sense.

LMom2025 :

He is NOT qualified for the job! WTF is wrong with everyone! 😡😡😡

Bluberrydoo :

Is this not extortion???

bizaroearthlingBackup :

Cesar Chavez :

the childish threats. when he doesn't get what he wants

bobcratchet4255 :

The courts rules he can’t have that fund so I’m not sure what he’s going to do

Anemuss :

A Presidential threat is a good reason to continue to withhold their votes. They asked for written confirmation of something that wasn’t supposed to exist anymore and he responded with threats.

Jorgeous Nicole :

Nope

Stephanie Marie :

Is this not the definition of coercion?

Jp :

In desperate times threats have become the new normal. Don't allow this intimidation to win.

Rudy :

I can’t believe we’re living this right now. Dicktator?

E K :

Todd needs jail time!
