President Donald Trump called on Republicans to replace Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough on Wednesday after she blocked an effort to include funding for his White House ballroom in an appropriations bill.
Earlier this week, reports indicated that Trump called Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and demanded MacDonough be fired, though Thune resisted. The White House declined to comment on the reports at the time.

“Shockingly, Republicans have kept the very important position of ‘Parliamentarian’ in the hands of a woman, Elizabeth MacDonough, who was appointed, long ago, by Barack Hussein Obama and a vicious Lunatic known as Senator Harry Reid, who ran the Senate for the Dumocrats with an ‘iron fist,'” the president wrote on Truth Social Wednesday morning. “Over the years, she has been brutal to Republicans, but not so to the Dumocrats — So why has she not been replaced? There are many fair people who would be qualified for that vital job.”
Trump accused Republicans of playing “a very soft game compared to the Dumocrats,” which he called “their single biggest disadvantage in politics.”
“The Dumocrats cheat, lie, and steal, especially when it comes to Votes in Elections, but stick together, whereas the Republicans allow the Elizabeth MacDonoughs of the World to stay in power, and brutalize us,” he continued.
In the same post, Trump once again called on the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act, his favored election integrity bill, and eliminate the filibuster.

“If we don’t pass at least one of these two provisions quickly, you will never see another Republican President again. The Dumocrats will end up with 2 additional States, D.C. and Puerto Rico, and all that entails, including 4 Senators, many Congressmen, and many additional Electoral Votes, and they will also get their dream of a packed United States Supreme Court with their most favorite number — 21 Justices,” Trump continued. “The Dumocrats will eliminate the Filibuster on the First Day that they get an opportunity to do so. The Republicans aren’t doing it because they say the Dumocrats will never do it, but the Republicans are WRONG. Get smart and tough Republicans, or you’ll all be looking for a job much sooner than you thought possible!”
