Former President TrumpDonald TrumpWyoming GOP leaders say they no longer recognize Cheney as GOP governors of party members divided over response to the rise in COVID-19. Senate MORE gives Biden major bipartisan victory on Wednesday the Senate Democrats’ efforts to move forward tore $ 3.5 trillion spending package, called “Communist Plan to Destroy America ”and calls on Americans to“ wake up ”.

Trump made the statement through his Save America PAC hours after the Senate voted 50-49 early Wednesday to pass budget dissolution as the first step towards passing their spending plan without GOP support.

The former president, who in recent days with his PAC has signaled his dislike of the $ 1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill officially passed by the Senate on Tuesday, told his supporters on Wednesday that “while you were all asleep Radical Democrats put forward a plan known as the $ 3.5 trillion Communist Plan to Destroy America. ”

“This legislation is an attack on our nation, our communities and the American dream,” argued Trump.

He went on to say that the plan will “destroy our borders and the rule of law by granting a dangerous amnesty that will inundate America’s beautiful cities” and “overwhelm our schools and make our nation less secure.”

“It raises taxes like we’ve never seen before, while also making many things you buy every day (gasoline, groceries, and more) more expensive,” he continued. “And don’t forget the crazy Green New Deal.”

“America, you are robbed in the dark of night,” he wrote. “It’s time to wake up!”

A memo sent to Democratic senators this week said the spending package will include several Democratic priorities, including Immigration reform, combating climate change and free community college.

It is also expected to affect funding for childcare, health care, housing, education, vocational training and manufacturing, with Democrats suggesting paying the bill in part through increased taxes for wealthy individuals and some businesses.

While the budget decision passed early Wednesday is a first step in potentially bypassing the 60-vote threshold required for most Senate bills to pass, Democrats could face obstacles to their 50-member faction in the form of Rejections from more centrist members of the party.
