Trump Tells Schumer to "GO TO HELL!" as Senators Bail Without Deal

Talk about a fiery end to the week! Here's the spicy scoop from Washington:

President Donald Trump told top Democrat Chuck Schumer to "GO TO HELL!" in a wild social media blast on Saturday. This explosion happened just as the US Senate packed up and went home without fixing a major fight over Trump's picks for government jobs.

So, what exploded?

Senate Stuck: Republicans, led by John Thune, wanted to quickly approve a bunch of Trump's nominees before taking their August break.

Democrats Slowed Things Down: Democrats, led by Schumer, used their power to drag things out. They wanted something in return for speeding up the votes.

Schumer's Price: Schumer asked for two big things: 1) Release frozen federal money (for things like health research and foreign aid), and 2) Get Trump to promise not to push another big package cutting government funding later.

Trump Says NO WAY: Trump called Schumer's demands "egregious and unprecedented" (basically, totally unfair and out of line). Then came the "GO TO HELL!" post.

Deal Dead, Senators Bail: With talks totally collapsed, the Senate just... left for recess. No deal on the nominees.

Trump's Social Media Rant:
Trump told Republicans: "Tell Schumer... to GO TO HELL! Do not accept the offer, go home and explain to your constituents what bad people the Democrats are..." He encouraged them to "Have a great RECESS."

Schumer Fires Back:
Schumer said Democrats were trying to be "reasonable," but Trump "threw in the towel" in a "fit of rage." He mocked Trump, asking, "Is this the 'Art of the Deal'?" (referencing Trump's famous book). Schumer claimed they were close to a deal before Trump "pulled the rug out."
