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.”

“ they may eventually react favorably to the kindness PDJT has shown here”
Em…the Dems put this guy in jail.
Does he realize he sounds like a fat weak impotent blowhard when he does this stuff? He is a FAILURE. We have all been scammed. God himself saved him from a deep state assassin’s bullet to do what? He’s done NOTHING except whine like a fat loser on social media
But...You’ll wake up with fleas.
The sweet nothings about Trump that Blago is so regularly whispering, into the ears of whoever will listen to him, show that on balance, Trump benefits from not replicating the communist tactic of relentlessly pummeling the enemy when he is down.
No. It will be presented as a play for pay ordeal. The media will say that Trump is giving pardons for something in return.
To New England from the South, we miss deeply Mither Limbaugh.
It’ll end up shaving at least some reasonably important individuals away from donkeyland.
This story about Cuellar perfectly encapsulates the weaknesses of Trump’s reliance upon “loyalty”. That and he tries to form loyalty bonds with some quite left wing actors, even endorsing Lindsey Graham for another 6 years in the Senate.
I really wish Trump would have embraced conservatism at some point but it’s probably too late for that.
You couldn’t sound any more like an AI abuse bot if you tried.
If there is I hope it starts working soon.
Based on his post, Trump clearly expected something in return for the pardon that he didn’t get.
JP, You could not have said it better .
For the rest of you, see tagline.
He wouldn’t be there without having handlers, though many FReepers would like to deny it.
But this stuff is his own personal indulgence.
More political equity for Trump. Trump looks sympathetic and the ungrateful Democrat solidifies the left as back stabbing selfish scumbags.
“ All will be well eventually. Cuellar will now have three women incessantly singing PDJT’s praises into his ears for the rest of his time on earth.”
He’ll be wishing he was back in jail by the end of the weekend

Interesting that you repeat the medias agenda, rather than pointing out the flaws and and teaching a higher truth.
So funny, s.
The poor guy!

Trump tests people all the time, this was a test. sometimes you do get surprised on the upside. Hope says you give them another chance with this hope.
secondary objectives were achieved.
The amazing thing to me is how you latch onto the medias message instead of the bigger picture.
I see realism. You continue to live in your little bubble where the media is truthful and honest. You do you.
I see realism.
