President Donald Trump fumed about a House Democrat — who he just pardoned — choosing to remain with the party rather than defect to the Republicans.
In a blistering post to Truth Social early Sunday, the president bashed Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) for announcing his intent to run for re-election as a Democrat, despite receiving a pardon from the president. Cuellar was facing charges for allegedly taking over $600,000 in foreign bribes. (The congressman’s wife, Imelda, was also charged in connection with the scheme.)
“Can you imagine???” Trump wrote. “The Democrats, under the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, who always use extreme force and jail-time to destroy their political opponent, wanted to put Congressman Henry Cuellar, and his wife, Imelda, in PRISON, for 15 years, which I predicted these Radical Left Lunatics would do – And they never stopped wanting to fulfill this evil quest! The Dems mercilessly went after Henry with everything they had! They were looking to destroy him, his lovely wife, his two young daughters, and anyone close to them. When the Democrats overwhelmingly lost the 2024 Presidential Election, and power with it, they, regardless, did everything they could to keep going after the Cuellar family. The Dems were vicious, and all because Henry strongly wanted, correctly, BORDER SECURITY!”
The president went on to cite a letter he’d received from Cuellar’s two daughters — who pleaded for a pardon for their parents.
‘It was all very unfair what they were doing to him and his family, so much so that his daughters wrote me a beautiful letter about their parents (Just posted on TRUTH!),” Trump wrote. “After reading it I decided, in the interest of justice, and based on the daughter’s loving request, that I would give Henry and Imelda a Full and Complete Pardon. I never spoke to the Congressman, his wife, or his daughters, but felt very good about fighting for a family that was tormented by very sick and deranged people – They were treated sooo BADLY!”
But Trump quickly changed his tune.
“Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be ‘running’ for Congress again, in the Great State of Texas (a State where I received the highest number of votes ever recorded!), as a Democrat, continuing to work with the same Radical Left Scum that just weeks before wanted him and his wife to spend the rest of their lives in Prison – And probably still do!” Trump wrote. “Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry’s daughters, will not like. Oh’ well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!”
Cuellar, on Wednesday, said “Nothing has changed — I’m a good old conservative Democrat.”

“ When will we realize that we cannot place our trust and loyalty in any politician, including presidential politicians?”
I am sure Trump would like for us to consider this
Disloyal and irrational are not synonyms.
In another world, it could be taken as evidence that he didn’t make a prior, explicit deal.
He’s a democrat...what else do we need to know? At least Blagolevitch had the decency to become a Trump supporter..

Who is currently holding the seat he is running for? A Dem or a Pub?
“You are using a one line definition of gambling”
And you’re dismissing a literal dictionary definition of gambling to make up your own. I’m going to go with the dictionary definition over whatever cope is going on in your head.
Things have to exist OUTSIDE your head, or they’re an hallucination.
“Here’s how to know Trump’s not a gambler- he hasn’t risked more than he can afford.”
This is called the no true scotsman fallacy. In order to be a gambler, one MUST risk more than they can afford.
You have thrown out the dictionary and even basic logic to declare that gambling is betting more than you can afford. Plenty of gamblers manage risk carefully.
-no made up examples (hallucinations) will change the dictionary definition that gives us the standard meaning.
-no listing of books Trump wrote decades ago will change that either.
Whatever. TDS is one of those things
It’s like the Taylor Swift wedding that will get shoved at us for the next 6 months
As I said, I was not directing my comments at you
Ye gods, that’s some menagerie.
“ Who is currently holding the seat he is running for? A Dem or a Pub?”
It’s San Antonio to the border. It will be Republican when dinosaurs return to roam the earth
It is affected in the redistricting from the maps I see. I may be MIs interpreting. The pardon came out the day after SC decided on the Texas case
“Whatever. TDS is one of those things”
These are just sentence fragments with no referents.
“It’s like the Taylor Swift wedding that will get shoved at us for the next 6 months”
Non sequitor (does not follow) and possible red herring fallacy.
“As I said, I was not directing my comments at you”
You replied to me, bro. You can’t have it both ways.
And they haven’t replaced Cuellar. They have him listed as rep no mention that is serving jail time. Of course.
Yet another poor decision among many this guy has made lately.
This country is so corrupt and irreparable.
I knew I was in for an all day insult slam
Not interested
No but they don’t have to be. I think Trump is making the point to make people think. He has been doing that since 2016. Say something shocking or unexpected and the topic will be well chewed over. I think few are naive enough to belive that HC is good a loyal moderate democrat staying true to his life long position.
The “cure “is lead based.
I think you are being disingenuous.
A quick stroll through a few dictionaries comes up with a myriad of definitions for gambler some of which are simply one who gambles, some of which add in the concept of high risk.
Words are neither able to be redefined on the fly nor hard and fast; they have shades of nuance as illustrated by differences in different dictionaries.
I’m curious. Do you have any idea what you are saying here? I sure don’t...
“Please enlighten us. In what court in this country would Trump have not been quoted, spun out of control and thrown in jail”
You are a whiny little pimple.
