President Donald Trump launched an early morning attack on three Republican lawmakers on his Truth Social account, calling them out by name and hitting them with sharp insults. He targeted Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, saying he would soon be “out of office,” Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who recently lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger, and Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, whom Trump called a “major sleazebag”.
According to Raw Story, Massie, who lost his primary to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, got the harshest treatment of the three. Trump’s post also included a warning about the Iran deal, saying it would either be “great and meaningful” or there would be no deal at all. This move fits into a broader pattern of Trump going after Republicans who have crossed him or failed to meet his expectations.
