Fact Checks (2)

"Democrats will terminate the filibuster the first chance they get"

Mostly False

Democrats had Senate majorities in 2021-2023 and did not eliminate the legislative filibuster despite internal pressure. They modified it for judicial nominees in 2013 but the legislative filibuster has remained intact.

"Terminating filibuster and passing legislation is 'SO EASY TO DO'"

False

Eliminating the filibuster requires 50+ Senate votes and faces significant internal Republican opposition. Multiple Republican senators have consistently opposed elimination.

Analysis: "Republicans Should Terminate the Filibuster" (2025-11-09)

This post is a near-verbatim recycling of a tweet Trump originally posted on December 21, 2018, during the first major government shutdown of his presidency. The current context—a 39-day shutdown in November 2025—mirrors that earlier crisis. The post urges Republicans to eliminate the filibuster, pass unspecified legislation, and win the midterms.

Authorship

Posted at 12:05 UTC = 7:05 AM ET. Trump was likely at Mar-a-Lago. Early morning timing, ALL CAPS parenthetical, and the impulsive rhetorical style all point to authentic authorship. The scare-quoted "Things" and the informal closing line are classic Trump markers.

Psychological Dynamics

The post reflects frustration with Republican senators who have not fallen in line. The parenthetical "(THE DEMS WILL DO IT THE FIRST CHANCE THEY GET!)" is a projection-rationalization hybrid—justifying norm-breaking by attributing the same impulse to opponents. "SO EASY TO DO" reflects characteristic grandiose simplification of complex legislative mechanics.

Rhetorical Techniques

False dichotomy: "Smart Party" vs "Stupid Party"
Projection: Democrats will do it first
Hyperbole/grandiose simplification: "SO EASY TO DO"
Vague superlatives: "lots of Great 'Things'"

Context

Day 39 of the shutdown. The recycled nature of this post (from 2018) suggests perseveration on a familiar script when facing a structurally similar crisis, rather than fresh strategic thinking.
