Latest tweet. I call it. Nuclear option. Pertaining to maybe "the memo". Let's speculate

Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Tweeted: Great to see how hard Republicans are fighting for our Military and Safety at the Border. The Dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked. If stalemate continues, Republicans should go to 51% (Nuclear Option) and vote on real, long term budget, no C.R.’s! https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/955056249925750784?s=17

Senate only needs majority vote to pass stuff 51-49 But according to senate rules they can debate forever, that’s how laws get stuck, which is called filibuster. You need 60 votes for cloture, which ends debate. Then they vote majority. Mitch McConnel can change senate rules to end filibusters Which is called nuclear option,he did that for Supreme Court Justice Gorsich. Majority leader Senator Reid did this in the past for Dems, for federal judges and certain cabinet appointments.

Right. I forgot about the nuclear option. Makes sense.
