Trump says no vacations until Congress passes his megabill

(ABC News) President Donald Trump on Tuesday told Senate Republicans to lock themselves in a room if necessary to work out their differences and pass the megabill that will fund his second-term agenda.

“To my friends in the Senate, lock yourself in a room if you must, don’t go home, and GET THE DEAL DONE THIS WEEK,” Trump posted on his social media platform while on his way to the NATO summit in the Netherlands. “Work with the House so they can pick it up, and pass it, IMMEDIATELY. NO ONE GOES ON VACATION UNTIL IT’S DONE.”

Both the Senate and House are under pressure to reconcile differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill and get it to Trump’s desk by July 4.

Then we can hear him meltdown like he did, when he expected a ceasefire from Israel and Iran.

He's not a CEO anymore. They work for the people of their districts, not for him, no matter what he thinks. If it was me, I'd tell him to fuck off.

Or the July 4 holiday? He's such a hypocrite.
