President Donald Trump continued to express rage over Republican Rep. Thomas Massie’s criticism of his decision to strike Iran.  

‘GET THIS ‘BUM’ OUT OF OFFICE, ASAP!!!’ Trump posted to Truth Social Monday. 

In his fresh post, Trump had highlighted a Massie-themed tirade he had posted to his social media network the day before. 

‘Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is. Actually, MAGA doesn’t want him, doesn’t know him, and doesn’t respect him,’ the president had said. 

While other Congressional Republicans applauded Trump’s Saturday action to send American bombers to take out a trio of Iranian nuclear sites, Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,’ Massie was quick to complain. 

‘This is not Constitutional,’ the Kentucky Republican wrote, sharing the Truth Social post that the president sent out Saturday night to announce the U.S. strikes. 

Ahead of Trump’s military action, Massie was pushing other members of Congress to join a bipartisan effort to pass a resolution under the War Powers Act, in an effort for the legislative branch to have more control over any executive military action. 

‘This is not our war. But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our constitution,’ he wrote last week.

Massie also expressed that he was vehemently against Iranian regime change, which Trump floated in a Truth Social post on Sunday. 

‘This is not America First folks,’ the Kentucky Republican said. 

‘Worth a listen. I will not vote for the United States to get dragged into another regime change war. In fact, I will actively oppose it,’ he had previously said. 

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt massaged Trump’s statement Monday morning during an appearance on Fox News Channel. 

‘The president believes the Iranian people can control their own destiny,’ Leavitt said. ‘And what he said last night makes complete sense. If the Iranian regime refuses to come to a peaceful diplomatic solution, which the president is still interested and engaging in, by the way, why shouldn’t the Iranian people take away the power of this incredibly violent regime that has been suppressing them for decades?’

Leavitt also took on Massie during the Fox & Friends segment. 

‘He should be a Democrat because he is more aligned with them than with the Republican Party,’ she said. 

She also pushed back on Massie’s claim that Trump’s action was unconstitutional. 

‘The White House was not obligated to call anyone because the president was acting within his legal authority under Article 2 of the Constitution, as commander-in-chief of the president of the United States,’ Leavitt argued.  

The day before, Trump had dedicated 328 words to telling off Massie. 

‘He’s a simple minded “grandstander” who thinks it’s good politics for Iran to have the highest level Nuclear weapon, while at the same time yelling ‘DEATH TO AMERICA’ at every chance they get,’ Trump complained. 

‘Massie is weak, ineffective, and votes “NO” on virtually everything put before him (Rand Paul, Jr.), no matter how good something may be,’ he also said. 

Trump called Massie ‘disrespectful to our great military’ and pointed out he didn’t  ‘acknowledging their brilliance and bravery in yesterday’s attack, which was a total and complete WIN.’

 ‘MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague!’ Trump also suggested, while whacking the congressman for not voting for his ‘big, beautiful bill.’ 

Massie addressed Trump’s outburst on X. 

‘@realdonaldtrump declared so much War on me today it should require an Act of Congress. #sassywithmassie,’ the congressman wrote.
