Despite a raging war, Trump has nothing better to do than attack someone with a 95% Republican voting scorecard.
The Wall Street Journal reports Trump Steps Up Effort to Oust Rep. Thomas Massie
President Trump heaped scorn on longtime GOP nemesis Rep. Thomas Massie in a speech in the congressman’s Kentucky district Wednesday, about two months ahead of one of the most closely watched Republican midterm primaries.

“Thomas Massie is a disaster for our party,” Trump said. “We got to get rid of this loser, this guy is bad.”
Trump was joined on stage by his handpicked candidate for Massie’s seat, Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL and farmer who unsuccessfully ran for state Senate in 2024. The visit, in which Trump talked up his economic policies, shows how intently he wants to oust one his few remaining GOP critics in Congress.
The MAGA KY super PAC, backed by hedge-fund billionaires Paul Singer and John Paulson and a group funded by Miriam Adelson, started running ads against Massie last year to try to soften him up for the primary. So far, MAGA KY and another super PAC, the pro-Israel RJC Victory Fund, have spent about $3.6 million on ads to oust Massie, the AdImpact data shows.
Massie has questioned Gallrein’s MAGA credentials, calling him “Woke Ed,” and the congressman highlighted that Gallrein left the Republican Party for several years.
Silence
Absolute silence from the crowd as Trump goes after Massie!
