President Trump finally appears to be finally growing tired of Senate Leader John Thune, after repeatedly defending him despite his failure to lead Senate Republicans in passing the SAVE America Act.
While speaking to supporters in Georgia, Trump urged “everybody” to call John Thune and demand that the Senate terminate the filibuster and “approve everything,” including the SAVE Act.
The House of Representatives sent the SAVE Act to the Senate a fourth time on Wednesday while Trump was speaking, attaching it to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and sending the bill to the Senate.
“I have to say Mike Johnson and Congress have done a great job, but we’re having a hard time in the Senate. What they are doing, it’s just not right,” Trump told the crowd while discussing the SAVE America Act at his rally in Marietta, Georgia.
“Congress is going to pass it again. They passed it three times. They are going to pass it again. It’s like the senate is a place you send things when you want them to die.”
Trump continued, “We’re not going to take this any longer, we’re not gonna take it. You know, I’m trying to be nice, trying to be really nice.”
“Look, what they should do, very simple,” Trump said, demanding the Republican controlled Senate terminate the filibuster, “because the Democrats going to do it!”
“The democrats are going to terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they go approve Puerto Rico and D.C. as a state, they get four more senators, they’re gonna end up with 12 more congressmen, they’re gonna get like 40 electoral votes,” Trump added.
“If they are allowed to do that, by that time, I’ll be sitting home, and I’m not a big crier; I don’t think you want to see me cry… but I may be crying. I’ll be sitting home, and I’ll say I told them.”
Trump further demanded, “Everybody call John Thune at the Senate. He’s the leader of the Republican Party. And tell him to get this stuff approved!”

President Trump has long called Thune out for “playing it too soft,” but has seemingly been patient with the RINO Senate Leader.“
He’s only a couple of votes short, but that’s what being a leader is,” Trump said of Thune’s claim that he doesn’t have the votes to nuke the filibuster in March. “That’s part of being a leader. You have to get the votes.”
Trump has also previously questioned Thune’s leadership abilities, calling him out over his repeated refusal to exercise his right as leader and fire MacDonough. “I cannot understand it. A leader has the right to fire the person at will and put somebody else there,” Trump said late last month.
“We get so many negative rulings from her, the parliamentarian. She’s been there for years, and she was put there by Harry Reid and Barack Hussein Obama.”
Instead of calling Thune out by name, Trump has slammed Senate Republicans collectively.
Trump previously went off on Senate Republicans last month after the Democrats revealed their plans to nuke the filibuster when they reclaim the Senate with radical left candidates, expand the Supreme Court, and impose term limits on justices.
Trump has been demanding that Republicans nuke the filibuster since October 2025, but Thune refused to listen. Now, the Democrats are going to overhaul our system of government with their Communist agenda.
Trump said he will no longer call the Democrats “Dumocrats,” and that “The title of DUMB will revert to the Republicans who allowed this horrible calamity to happen to our Party, and our Nation, itself.”
