Breaking Trump News Today: Ex-pres says Musk won’t buy Twitter at ‘ridiculous price’ as Pence backs Gov Kemp

Former President Donald Trump has criticized lawmakers for working to pass a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine.

Though the bill enjoyed bipartisan support and only 57 Republicans voted no, Mr Trump still blamed Democrats.

“Democrats are sending another $40 billion to Ukraine, but America’s parents are struggling to even feed their children,” he said in a statement issued by his spokesman.

“There is a massive formula shortage, but no one is talking about it — it’s a national disgrace,” he continued, despite the shortage being the focus of newscasts, press conferences and Biden administration planning.

Mr Trump said: “It is unthinkable that American families will not be able to get baby food for their children in 2022. Families whose children have severe allergies and need an “elemental” diet are in an even more desperate and dire situation.”

He concluded: “The pain endured by mothers and fathers who literally cannot get food for their newborns and infants is a mark of eternal shame on the Democratic Party. America first!”

Former Vice President Mike Pence will be running with incumbent Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp in his most significant political beak yet with former President Donald Trump the day before this month’s GOP primary.

Kemp’s campaign announced Friday morning that Pence will headline a get-out-the-vote rally for Kemp on Monday, May 23, the day before the vote. That puts Pence in direct conflict with Trump-backed candidate David Perdue, who is lagging behind in the polls. Kemp is one of Trump’s top targets this election cycle because he refuses to cooperate with Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
