Trump Issues Scathing Warning To Republican Congressman
President Donald Trump issued a worrying warning to the Kentucky Republican representative Thomas Massie after expressed his opposition to the White House strike on Iran.
Trump announced on Truth Social on Saturday that the United States had bombed Iran’s nuclear sites through Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow. Massie, who opposed the president several times, replied by a series of tweets, saying that Trump’s decision was not constitutional. The president wrote a long social social on Sunday saying that he and his team would have taken the member of the Congress.

“The member of the Congress Thomas Massie of Kentucky is not Maga, even if he likes to say that he is. In fact, Maga does not want him, does not know him and does not respect him,” wrote Trump.
“It is a simple” podium “who thinks that it is a good policy for Iran to have the nuclear weapon of higher level, while shouting” Death To America “on each occasion,” he added.
Massie, as well as the Democratic representative of California, Ro Khanna, presented a resolution on June 17 which seeks to prevent Trump from engaging in “unauthorized hostilities” with Iran. (Linked: Trump addresses the nation after bombing Iran)
The president said that he would campaign personally against Massie and that a wonderful “American patriot” would challenge the member of the Republican Congress in primary school.
The deputy chief of the White House, James Blair, echoes Trump’s warning with a short article on Sunday.
“I hope Thomas Massie appreciates his last mandate in the congress,” wrote Blair.

Only a few hours after the post of president, Axios reported that Trump’s political operation had launched an effort to oust Massie from his headquarters.
While the member of the Republican Congress and Trump clashed for years, Massie has managed to repel the primaries in the last three electoral cycles. Massie previously told Axios that the internal survey shows that it has strong support in the center of Kentucky.

Massie also opposed the president’s “Big Beautiful Bill”, which aims to advance many elements of his program. The member of the Republican Congress had previously voted against the bill, citing concerns about his impact on the national deficit and the lack of reduction in federal spending.
Massie was also one of the two Republicans to break with the party and to vote against the legislation on the pornography of revenge supported by First Lady Melania Trump. The legislation was massively adopted by the congress and was signed by the president. Massie said that the legislation was “a slippery, ripe for abuse, with involuntary consequences”.
“Any serious person who plans to run should spend money on an independent survey before letting the swamp consultants take them for an embarrassing ride,” Massie told Axios about news that the Trump team was preparing to the priest.
