President Trump on Friday nuked RINO Thom Tillis and “his RINO friends” in response to backlash over the $1.776 billion weaponization fund to compensate victims of the weaponized Department of Justice, as lawmakers move to block the fund.
The fund was created in exchange for Trump dropping more than $10 billion in legal action against the federal government for leaking his tax returns and weaponizing the Justice Department against him. At less than two billion dollars, the fund is a small fraction of the cost that Trump would receive from his lawsuits.
Trump told reporters on Monday that he wants to reimburse “people that were horribly treated.”
“They’ve been weaponized, they’ve been, in some cases, imprisoned wrongly. They paid legal fees that they didn’t have. They’ve gone bankrupt, their lives have been destroyed, and they turn out to be right,” the President said.
However, Republican lawmakers are already teaming up with Democrats to kill the fund, with Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA.) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY) leading the charge and drafting legislation.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Senate Republicans broke for a ten-day recess, delaying the reconciliation vote to fund ICE, Border Patrol, and Secret Service to buck Trump over the weaponization fund.
Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) lashed out at Trump and interim Attorney General Todd Blanche in a statement writing, “So the nation’s top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong – Take your pick.”
Other RINOs similarly lost it, including Thom Tillis (R-NC), who compared the fund to Democrats’ calls to defund the police and described it as “tyranny.”
He further described the fund as a “payout pot for punks” and “stupid on stilts.”

Trump went off on Tillis, “the weak and ineffective Senator from the Great State of North Carolina,” slamming his anti-Trump record and calling him a “QUITTER” for announcing his retirement because Trump wouldn’t endorse him.
“When I told him that I would not, under any circumstances, endorse him for another run, too much work and drama (he couldn’t have won, anyway!), he immediately quit the race and publicly announced that he was going to ‘retire.’ I said, ‘Wow, great news, that was easy!’” Trump said. “The media said how brave he was to take me on, but he wasn’t brave, he was just the opposite.”
He continued, “Now he can have all the fun he wants for a few months, with some of his RINO friends, screwing the Republican Party. In the end it will only get bigger, and better, and stronger, than ever before!!!”
People don’t remember that Thom Tillis, the weak and ineffective Senator from the Great State of North Carolina, a State I won, including primaries, 6 consecutive times, didn’t have the courage to fight it out in the Senate, remain in place, and run again for office, a thing he desperately wanted to do. I called him a “Nitpicker,” always fighting against the Republican Party, and ME, mostly on things that didn’t matter. When I told him that I would not, under any circumstances, endorse him for another run, too much work and drama (he couldn’t have won, anyway!), he immediately quit the race and publicly announced that he was going to “retire.” I said, “Wow, great news, that was easy!” The media said how brave he was to take me on, but he wasn’t brave, he was just the opposite – HE WAS A QUITTER! Now he can have all the fun he wants for a few months, with some of his RINO friends, screwing the Republican Party. In the end it will only get bigger, and better, and stronger, than ever before!!!

Trump also noted that “I could have settled my case, including the illegal release of my Tax Returns and the equally illegal BREAK IN of Mar-a-Lago, for an absolute fortune.”
He continued, “Instead, I am helping others, who were so badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration, receive, at long last, JUSTICE!”
I gave up a lot of money in allowing the just announced Anti-Weaponization Fund to go forward. I could have settled my case, including the illegal release of my Tax Returns and the equally illegal BREAK IN of Mar-a-Lago, for an absolute fortune. Instead, I am helping others, who were so badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration, receive, at long last, JUSTICE! President DJT
