Follow me on Twitter @gordonholmesIn a move that could shake up the nation's political landscape, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is threatening to pull the bill from President Donald Trump's desk after he was asked about his refusal to support a Syrian air strike.

The Republican is not in the majority in the Senate. He plans to send a letter to President Barack Obama on March 9 that asks if Trump will consider moving forward with military action against Syria.

But Trump's decision to take action against the government of the Syrian government did so in response to a series of tweets from the President.

Reid, who has been a voice of reason in the Senate since 2013, is the latest in a line of Republican leaders to say Trump's tweet is "fake news."

On March 9, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told his boss, "I have no choice but to reject the use of force."

"I think Trump had a very bad experience with the people of Syria," McCain told Fox News. "People were killed by Russia … He's a liar, he's a bully. He's a bully who's trying to get things done."

On Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Trump's tweet is "fake news."

"I think [Trump] has a very bad experience with the people of Syria," Graham said. "I think Trump has a very bad experience with the people of Syria. And you know I think that will be the end of him. He's very dangerous. He's very dangerous because he's a bully, he's a bully who's trying to get things done, and he has an agenda and a plan to win that fight. But there's no way to stop him."

He added: "We know what he did is unconstitutional, and we've been told as a nation to stop doing it. So we'll fight that. We won't stop him. He's a bully."

Trump, who has called the United States a "loser," also told reporters he is "very disappointed" with the president's decision.

"I think he was right to get a lot of people fired," Trump said. "They should get fired."
