Trump pledges to 'lead the charge' against Rep. Massie, likens him to Liz Cheney
'HE SHOULD BE PRIMARIED,' Trump declared of Massie

After President Donald Trump lashed out at Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., in a Monday night Truth Social post, declaring that the congressman "SHOULD BE PRIMARIED" and pledging to "lead the charge against him," Massie fired back on Tuesday, leveraging the incoming fire from Trump as a fundraising opportunity while declaring that he would seek re-election.

Trump likened Massie to former Rep. Liz Cheney, of Wyoming, one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

"Congressman Thomas Massie, of beautiful Kentucky, is an automatic ‘NO’ vote on just about everything, despite the fact that he has always voted for Continuing Resolutions in the past. HE SHOULD BE PRIMARIED, and I will lead the charge against him. He’s just another GRANDSTANDER, who’s too much trouble, and not worth the fight. He reminds me of Liz Chaney(sic) before her historic, record breaking fall (loss!). The people of Kentucky won’t stand for it, just watch. DO I HAVE ANY TAKERS???" Trump wrote in the post.

Trump-endorsed primary challenger Harriet Hageman handily defeated Cheney in the 2022 Republican primary for Wyoming's at-large Congressional District. Hageman, who went on to win the 2022 general election, was re-elected last year, while former Rep. Cheney, a vociferous Trump critic, supported then-Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

Massie solicited donations in a Tuesday tweet from his campaign account on X.

The deafening ratio Trump is getting for blasting @RepThomasMassie is something his team is now digesting.

If things go the way I think, this will be the last you hear about any of this, as Trump never apologizes when he makes a mistake. He just course corrects and moves on.

Massie is a big time fiscal conservative that all of us typically would rally around during normal times.

But today is not normal times, we have to sustain, until, we can get our massive return on investment with DOGE.  A GOP blamed shutdown is not the best strategy right now for that

But Trump is equating Massie to bitch Cheney is idiotic.  And 1 time I wish he'd keep his damned mouth shut.

Trump will threaten any congressman who opposes another bloated budget in the fall.  We have seen this before.  He attacked Massie for not funding his COVID shutdown.
