Trump Gives House Republicans Urgent Advice on Border Deal

Former President Donald Trump had some strong advice for House Republicans about what’s best for the U.S. border, and he shared it on social media this week.

In a post to Trust Social late Wednesday evening, Trump advised his party in Congress to hold out their support for a deal that was anything less than “perfect.”

“I do not think we should do a Border Deal, at all, unless we get EVERYTHING needed to shut down the INVASION of Millions & Millions of people, many from parts unknown, into our once great, but soon to be great again, Country!” he wrote in the post [emphasis original throughout].

“Also, I have no doubt that our wonderful Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, will only make a deal that is PERFECT ON THE BORDER,” he added.

“Remember, without Strong Borders and Honest Elections, we don’t have a Country!!!” Trump concluded in the post.

With 12 hours, the post had received over 13,000 likes and nearly 4,000 re-posts.

Another man with some experience leading House Republicans shared very similar sentiments during a radio interview Wednesday.

“I hope the House Republicans stand firm and tell the Senate Republicans, ‘We want a real border bill or nothing,’” former House Speak Newt Gingrich said on the “Cats & Cosby” radio show on WABC.

Should Republicans make a border deal with Democrats?

“‘And we’re not going to pass the aid to Ukraine without taking care of the American border,’” he suggested they add.

Gingrich supported the idea of continuing American aid to Ukraine, saying he was “very much in favor of stopping Putin,” but he said the border had to be protected.

“The American border is at least as important to Americans as the Ukrainian border,” Gingrich explained. “I’m also really, really alarmed at the sheer numbers that Biden has brought into this country and the total dishonesty of their program.”

Later in the interview, Gingrich said that the “soft wing” Senate Republicans wanted to reach a deal just to reach a deal so they can point to it as an accomplishment.

“That’s stupid,” Gingrich said. “The Senate Republicans ought to side with the House Republicans, hang very tough. The country is totally fed up with the border.”

“Our goal should be: Not a single person crosses the border without being inspected,” he said.
