trump is in Kentucky today to, "punish," Rep. Massie

Is he here to comfort the family of Sgt. Pennington, who died for his ego war, a few days ago? I would say, no--because he'd be too ashamed to look them in the face. But, we all know the man has no shame. He just can't be bothered with any particular loser. I wish the Pennington's had the opportunity to spit in his face.

I think Massie will have a massive win BECAUSE trump hates him so much.

This trip, however, marks the first time this primary cycle that Trump has sought to keep promises to punish members of his own party who oppose him on key issues. The president has endorsed Ed Gallrein, a farmer, businessman and retired Navy SEAL, who is running against Massie in Kentucky’s Republican primary on May 19. Trump and Gallrein will appear together on Wednesday.

Massie is an outspoken Trump critic who opposed the White House-backed tax and spending measure and bucked Trump by pushing to have files related to the sex trafficking investigations into Jeffrey Epstein released. He’s also opposed the U.S. strike on Venezuela that toppled then-President Nicolás Maduro and, most recently, the war in Iran.

“This isn’t America First,” Massie posted on X on Sunday, blaming the war for causing gas prices to jump.
