Trump warned Senate Republicans to nix working with Democrats on a bipartisan infrastructure bill.
"You are just being played by the Radical Left Democrats," the former president said on Friday.
Democrats hope to pass a separate and more robust infrastructure bill through reconciliation.

Former President Donald Trump cautioned Senate Republicans against signing off on a bipartisan infrastructure bill and told GOP legislators to maintain the tax cuts that the party enacted during his tenure.
In a statement on Friday, Trump derided Republican members who are working with President Joe Biden and Senate Democrats as RINOs, or Republicans in name only, a pejorative generally reserved for members of the party who aren't considered to be true conservatives.
"Very important that Senate Republicans not allow our hard-earned tax reductions to be terminated or amended in an upward trajectory in any way, shape, or form," the former president said. "They should not be making deals on increasing taxes for the fake infrastructure proposals being put forward by Democrats, almost all of which goes to the ridiculous Green New Deal Marxist agenda."
He added: "Keep the Trump Administrations [sic] tax cuts just where they are. Do not allow tax increases. Thinking about it, I have never seen anything so easy to win politically. Also, RINO Republicans should stop negotiating the infrastructure bill - you are just being played by the Radical Left Democrats - they will give you nothing!"
