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.”

Cuellar is an amoral grifter. Why would he be expected to have a moral epiphany now that he's free and clear?
And now that he's shown his true colors, what's to be gained by excoriating him?
“You Knew I Was A Scorpion When You Met Me”
Truth telling is it’s own reward. There is no justice w/p sunshine.
So Trump thought he was buying a GOP congressman with his pardon?
“ And now that he’s shown his true colors, what’s to be gained by excoriating him?”
Trump would say, that’s for you to figure out
Apparently Trump did not “get” his favorite parable about “The Snake.”
Trump still doesn’t understand that liberalism is a disease with no cure.
Why would GOP want that crook?
So true!🦂
Trump got played...
Loyalty to who? I’ve already accepted that we, the general public will never know the real reasons behind several of President Trump’s pardons. So much of greater urgency is going in the right direction, i.e. border control, I tend not to dwell on petit mystere for very long.
He forgot the lesson of "The Snake" which was often used in campaigning. Cuellar, the snake, did what snakes do.
Revisiting the last part of the poem:
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite.Some of President Trump's advisors have NOT been advising him well. Democrats ( and the DSA ) should not be trusted -- ever.“Take me in, oh tender woman,
“Take me in, for heaven’s sake,
“Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake.
“I saved you,” cried that woman.
“And you've bit me even, why?
“You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die.”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin,
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in,
”Take me in, oh tender woman,
“Take me in, for heaven’s sake,
“Take me in oh tender woman,“ sighed the snake."
Maybe there’s a method to Trump’s madness, I don’t know.
And now that he’s shown his true colors, what’s to be gained by excoriating him?
There are many unintended consequences to this. Cuellar is tied to trump now in his election. Trump has tagged him as untrust worthy.
“ Maybe there’s a method to Trump’s madness, I don’t know.”
Ya think?
“If you want loyalty in DC - get a dog” : Harry S Truman
Of course. He sure blew that deal!
Stop pardoning Democrats.
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Song was a Rush bumper tune !!
There must be a lot more dirt in his closet.
