“President Trump may be trying to wind down his conflict with Iran, but he is escalating his war with Senate Republicans,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Trump blindsided his supposed allies in the Senate on Wednesday with a rocket of a social media post from across the Atlantic, tying together a host of his pet peeves about the Senate while yanking his new nominee for national intelligence director from his confirmation hearing just hours before it was to occur.”
“It was an extraordinary move from a president whose own party controls the chamber, but just the latest sign of a major rupture between Mr. Trump and G.O.P. senators as the midterm elections approach.”
Politico: Trump escalates his war on Senate Republicans — and senators are striking back.
