## Resource

When REPUBLICAN Senators call your $1.776 billion dollar slush fund a "Payout Pot for Punks" you know you are in deep trouble politically. Popok reports on Trump falling flat on his face in efforts to convince his OWN PARTY in the Senate to support his IRS slush fund and tax wipe out bill, as they pay him back for attacking Republican sitters in recent primaries, and take an early Memorial Day recess rather than vote just to rub it in.
