Donald Trump has lashed out at several Republican congressmen after an amendment to defund criminal prosecutions of the former president failed by "only one vote."

In a post on Truth Social he attacked Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson after he "stupidly" voted "no" on the amendment that would have prohibited the use of federal and state funding for the prosecution of any presidential candidate prior to November's election.

The amendments to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) Appropriations Bill, introduced by Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde, failed to pass by a vote of 25-26.

Trump also blamed House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee who did not show up to vote on the amendment.

Writing on Truth Social, Trump said: "Just heard from Great Congressman Andrew Clyde of Georgia that the Amendment to Defund the Prosecution of a Presidential Candidate prior to November's Election did not pass, 26-25.

"It lost by only one vote, because one Republican, Mike Simpson of Idaho, stupidly voted NO, and two 'Republicans,' David Valadao of California and Dan Newhouse of Washington, the only two remaining Impeachers in the House of President Donald J. Trump, didn't show up to vote,' Trump added.

"They must have had more important things to do. Also, Mike Garcia of California, David Joyce of Ohio, and Juan Ciscomani of Arizona, didn't show up to vote. Thanks very much, fellas, for your great support!"

1. What the fuck - he wrote this

the only two remaining Impeachers in the House of President Donald J. Trump, didn't show up to vote,' Trump added.

I thought it was the people’s House.

2. I think he meant "impeachers in the House" as a phrase

and not “House of Donald Trump.”

4. Very few MAGAs even know the three branches of their own gov't.

Sadly, this lack of knowledge is an epidemic across the board.
And these Americans who don't even know anything about their own gov't dare to rag on other nation's systems of government? - which, as usual, they know nothing about (other than what America's corrupt corporomedia tells them - or wikipedia).
It's so stoopid. And harmful.

9. Trump does think everything belongs to him.

Like other fascist leaders, Putin and Xi.
The entire world and all resources belong to them.
