In an interview on Friday, President Trump made a scathing remark about senators opposed to ending the filibuster. He claimed that only someone who is "utterly foolish" would stand in the way of eliminating this outdated Senate procedure.
Despite Majority Leader John Thune's assertion that there isn't enough support among Republicans to get rid of the filibuster, President Trump remains determined to push for its repeal. This move has sparked controversy, with many arguing that it would significantly alter the balance of power within the Senate.
President Trump's remarks have been seen as a stark departure from his previous stance on the issue. Critics argue that he is using this tactic to pressure Senate Republicans into backing him, rather than engaging in meaningful bipartisan dialogue. As the debate rages on, it remains to be seen how far President Trump's push for reform will go.

I'm not buying this "utterly foolish" business from Trump. Sounds like he's trying to strong-arm his own party into backing him. What's really going on here? Is the filibuster really that broken, or is Trump just trying to reshape the Senate to his advantage? 
I need some credible sources to back up these claims before I start believing this narrative...
I mean I get that some people think it's outdated, but can't we just have a chill conversation about it instead of making personal attacks? 
Like, I know President Trump is trying to push for change, but does he really need to diss all those senators who disagree with him? It's not like they're being totally unreasonable, you know?
. I just hope everyone involved can keep a level head and have some constructive dialogue 
instead of resorting to personal attacks.
. It's like, can't we just have a calm discussion about this? The filibuster has been around for a long time, and some people might actually be trying to slow things down for good reasons, you know? I think President Trump should try to find common ground instead of dividing his own party 
omg can you even imagine trump saying something like that?? i mean what even is "utterly foolish" lol. seriously though, i'm lowkey worried about this whole filibuster thing. i think it's a good idea to keep things fair and balanced in the senate, but at the same time, i get why some people want to change it. idk, maybe trump just really wants to shake things up in washington? 
. Plus, I think it's kinda cool that some people are still willing to stand up against him, even if it means going against party lines 
. Maybe this is an opportunity for some actual compromise? 
and btw, what's with all the 'utterly foolish' business? sounds like someone who's never had to deal with actual legislation 
"
. it's just more drama and polarization. can't we aim for something better than that?
