A day after admitting his controversial anti-weaponization fund was “dead,” President Donald Trump pledged to get the effort “PASSED” in a fiery Truth Social post slamming Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC).
The president’s apparent pivot came after he spoke about the fund — which has sparked bipartisan pushback — at a Friday Cabinet meeting held at Camp David.
“Well, it is dead, but, you know, I wish it weren’t , to be honest with you,” Trump told a reporter when asked about the fund.
By Saturday morning, Trump insisted in a Truth Social post the $1.8 billion fund would become a reality:
If Senators Cornyn and Tillis, both upset because I wouldn’t Endorse them (they lost, and quit, respectively!), aren’t going to approve Todd Blanche , one of the most respected professionals, according to everybody, in the Country, to be the United States Attorney General, then I will keep Todd as Acting A.G., and push hard to get the Anti-Weaponization Bill, which takes care of those who have been so badly treated by the Crooked Joe Biden (and Obuma!)
Administration (I get nothing, although I was treated horribly!), PASSED.
Todd Blanche was a voice of reason!
It will immediately be back on the table, and I will get it done.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The president’s message comes amid a standoff between the lame duck senators and Trump, with Cornyn and Tillis refusing to vote to confirm Blanche as U.S.
Attorney General until they get a written guarantee the anti-weaponization fund is dead.
Trump’s Justice Department said earlier this summer it would drop the fund amid outcry from both Democrats and Republicans, with critics claiming it would be a taxpayer-fueled “slush fund” for the president’s allies.
Tillis is not seeking re-election while Cornyn lost his primary race to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, after Trump endorsed Paxton over the incumbent.
