Trump Demands Senate Fire Parliamentarian | San Antonio News

Trump is back on social media demanding Senate Majority Leader John Thune fire Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, whom he accuses of unfairly blocking Republican priorities — including a recent $1 million White House ballroom funding request tied to an immigration bill. This isn’t the first time Trump has targeted MacDonough, who was appointed by Harry Reid and Obama in 2012; Thune called Trump’s remarks concerning but acknowledged they’re his opinion, while also noting heightened security measures are being taken. Trump insists Thune has the power to act immediately — and the Senate will soon see if this public pressure leads to real change.
