Trump Blasts GOP For Being ‘Worst Negotiators in History’ Following Fiscal Cliff Deal
Donald Trump had a few choice words for his fellow Republicans following the compromise over the so-called fiscal cliff. The real estate billionaire tweeted his disgust at the deal agreed upon by the Senate, which now has to pass in the House of Representatives in order to go into effect.

‘Obama and the Democrats are laughing at the deal they just made… the Republicans got nothing!
‘What is Mitch McConnell thinking?…make the big deal,’ he said of the Senate minority leader.
‘Maybe Boehner will stop this one sided deal in the House…I hope so!’
Politicians open hours negotiating on New Year’s Eve to try to put together a deal so that a rash of harsh spending cuts were not implemented at the beginning of the year.
