President Donald Trump is threatening to take action against his fellow Republicans if they don’t get on board to end the Senate filibuster and reopen the government. Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday, “It is time for the Senate Filibuster to END. Those weak and ineffective Republicans Senators that stand in the way of this should be exposed to the public. The Democrats are CRAZY!”
Trump has been frustrated by Democrats’ refusal to end the partial government shutdown because they want assurances over reforms within the Department of Homeland Security and ICE.
Ending the filibuster would eliminate the 60-vote threshold required to pass most legislation, and would allow the majority Republican party to pass bills with a “simple majority” of just 51 votes. It would be one way for Republicans to immediately end the month-long shutdown and easily pass other Trump-approved legislation like the SAVE America Act.
Trump has been complaining about the filibuster ever since his first term. On Thursday night, he called for Republicans to invoke the “Nuclear Option.”. “It is now time for the Republicans to play their ‘TRUMP CARD,’ and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!” Trump wrote. A majority of Republicans have resisted calls to eliminate the filibuster because it would also allow the other side to get by with a simple majority if and when Republicans are once again in the minority

when they stand in the way of his criminal enterprise. He usually ignores them altogether, but too many people are watching now.
In his business and personal practices he could always hire crooked lawyers to bypass laws that stood in his way. He's trying to do that with the DOI (Department of Injustice) but a smattering of real lawyers and judges took a silly oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States of America. 
Suck it up, buttercup. WE, THE PEOPLE are watching you, and your days as a wannabe dictator are almost over. 😁
