President Donald Trump, along with many other Republicans, is convinced that the Democrats are exploiting the Senate filibuster rule in a continued effort to stall or fight against Trump's agenda.
According to the Washington Examiner, as the president expresses increasing frustration at the Democrats using the filibuster, he pitched Republicans once again to consider "nuking" the filibuster, which, of course, comes with its own risks.Â
The president said in a recent post calling on the GOP to take action that he believes the filibuster is contributing to destroying the U.S. economy.
President Trump made it clear in a Truth Social post this weekend that he wants Republicans to end it. Now.
While Trump has made a number of suggestions regarding ending the filibuster, his most recent was straight to the point.
"The Democrats are winning in that they are destroying our great, miracle economy, which is exactly what they set out to do. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!" he wrote on his Truth Social account Saturday.
In another post, he made it even clearer, writing, "TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!"

On Friday, he had the same message to his followers and to Republicans, writing, "Republicans, Terminate the Filibuster and bring back the American Dream. If you don’t do it, the Dems will, and you’ll never see office again! President DJT."
Experts say that Trump's push to end the filibuster was ramped up in the wake of the latest election, in which Democrats scored predictable, but key victories in a variety of offices and states.
Users across social media reacted to Trump's latest call for the filibuster to be terminated.
"He’s right, the filibuster isn’t protecting democracy, it’s protecting the swamp’s deadlock. Democrats kill it the second it blocks their agenda, but Republicans freeze when it’s ours. Stop playing defense and govern like you mean it," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Trump’s right—time to clear the roadblocks and move."
Only time will tell if Trump can levy enough pressure to make it happen.
