Trump goes nuclear on Republican after Iran war powers slapdown, vows to back primary foe: ‘MAGA doesn’t want him’
"President Trump unleashed his fury on libertarian-leaning Rep. Thomas Massie and vowed to prop up a primary challenge after the Kentuckian co-introduced a measure to rein in his war powers.
Trump, who has long been vexed by Massie (R-Ky.) in the past on a host of issues, ripped him as a “pathetic loser” during a fiery Truth Social screed.

“Massie is weak, ineffective, and votes ‘NO’ on virtually everything put before him, no matter how good something may be,” Trump fumed on Truth Social Sunday.
Massie voted last month against the House version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which is intended to be the president’s signature legislative achievement of the year and possibly his second term.
The two have butted heads repeatedly in the past. In 2020, Massie opposed a $2 trillion emergency COVID-19 relief measure intended to avert a steep recession, drawing Trump’s wrath.
Last week, Massie banded together with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) in rolling out a War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s ability to strike Iran."
