Why Donald Trump Is Trying To Make An Example Out Of This One House Republican
HuffPost
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) isn’t an anti-Trumper, but he won’t set aside his dislike of deficits to vote for the so-called Big Beautiful Bill.
WASHINGTON — In his second term, President Donald Trump has turned most Republican members of Congress, from the House speaker who declared Congress has no war powers to the backbench wingnuts nominating him for the Nobel Prize, into his stooges and henchmen.
Except for Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).
The Kentucky Republican has stood athwart the tide of Trumpism, not yelling “stop!” exactly, but at least not going along with the tide.
And Trump clearly hates it.
“He votes, ‘NO!’ on everything, because he thinks it makes him cool, but he’s not cool, he’s a LOSER!” Trump wrote on his platform Truth Social on Tuesday, the latest in a series of similar slams.
