Trump Tells Schumer ‘Go to He
The break came with a threat.
Hours after Trump told Chuck Schumer to “GO TO HELL,” the Senate simply walked away.
No deal, no nominees, no truce.
Behind closed doors, fury boiled over federal funds, budget cuts, and raw political power.
Trump’s public broadside at Schumer wasn’t just an outburst;
it was a deliberate signal that he would rather let Washington freeze than bow to Democratic demands.
Schumer, boxed in by his own party’s left flank and sinking approval ratings, tried to leverage the one thing he still controlled: time.
By slow‑walking nominees and tying confirmations to unfreezing federal
funds and blocking future spending cuts, Democrats gambled that Trump needed Washington to function more than they did.
They misread the moment.
As negotiations collapsed and senators fled for recess, Trump’s allies pointed to the real source of his confidence:
a $1.4 billion war chest, already locked in more than a year before the midterms.
That money, funneled through the RNC and his super PAC, promised a tidal wave of ads, ground operations, and primary threats.
Schumer left town with procedure. Trump left with the means to punish.
