The ongoing feud between President Trump and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) escalated amid recent House votes. Conservatives blasted Massie as a “RINO” after he was the lone Republican to vote against a DHS funding bill, which included billions for ICE and border security.
Many critics accused him of siding with Democrats against Trump’s deportation agenda, drawing furious comments like “Open Borders Massie” and calls for his removal. Trump intensified attacks on Truth Social, calling Massie “the Worst ‘Republican’ Congressman,” while urging MAGA support for primary challenger Ed Gallrein.
Announcing the treachery of Massie, a popular post blasted the RINO, saying, “🚨 Thomas Massie just voted with Democrats against funding DHS and President Trump’s mass deportations.” Conservatives were enraged and let their opinions fly in the comments under his post.
“Open Borders Massie, can’t wait to see him primaried and run out of congress,” said one user. “If that’s what happened, he has to be remo ed from office, we can’t allow this,” another reacted. One quip read. “Never surprised but repeatedly disappointed.”
Agreeing, another user quipped, “🚨 UNIPARTY STRIKES AGAIN: 57 House “Republicans” just voted AGAINST Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) amendment to H.R. 7148 that would have DEFUNDED the Fed’s “vehicle kill switch” which gives the Govt the ability to remotely shutdown your car. These RINOs joined nearly every Democrat to keep the path open for remote-capable car shutdowns.”
This is just the latest incident in the battle between the president and Thomas Massie, whom Trump referred to as “the Worst ‘Republican’ Congressman we have had in many years.” Additionally, Trump has indicated that he will support a primary challenger in the next election.
“I have heard that there are other Candidates exploring a run for this seat, but I am asking all MAGA Warriors to rally behind Captain Ed Gallrein, the Candidate who is, far and away, best positioned to DEFEAT Third Rate Congressman Thomas Massie, a Weak and Pathetic RINO from the beautiful Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love, and won BIG, ALL THREE TIMES,” the president delcared.

Speaking about the challenger, the president quipped that Gallrein “is a big fan of our recent attack on Nicolas Maduro, the Dictator of Venezuela.” He added that Massie “only votes AGAINST the Republican Party, making life very easy for the Radical Left.”
“Unlike ‘lightweight’ Congressman Massie, a true hater of Israel, and a totally ineffective LOSER who has failed us so badly, CAPTAIN ED GALLREIN IS A WINNER WHO WILL NOT LET KENTUCKY DOWN!”, he declared, wrapping up his comments.
Defending himself, the controversial lawmaker posted, “Wake up MAGA. VENEZUELA is not about drugs; it’s about OIL and REGIME CHANGE. This is not what we voted for.” Additionally, he added, “It happened again today! Why do I get attacked weekly? Because I’m the only Republican who refuses to rubber stamp foreign aid, endless deficits, and unnecessary wars. I’m also exposing sex traffickers. My primary is in May. Please help if you can.”
