Thomas Massie just exposed that Trump is threatening to “ruin” his supporters’ businesses if they fund his campaign.
“I’m not talking about IRS audits.”
“It’s bigger than that.”
“Here’s what happens behind the scenes … ”
First, Trump allies are coercing Massie’s consultants into quitting his re-election campaign:
“Three of my consultants have quit on my campaign, all three for the same reason.”
“They were told: your other 30 clients will fire you if you keep working for Massie.”
“They make it hard to hire people.”
“I really love the consultants I got now, because they’re the ones who said: screw you, I’m gonna work for Massie brcause I believe in what he’s doing, and I’m good enough at my job, I’ll go find some other clients if you clowns fire me.”
Second, Trump allies are threatening to “ruin” Massie supporters’ businesses by abusing state power:
“I’ve got 15,000 donors across the United States. My average donation is $80.”
“Is that because I don’t want millionaires to give to a super PAC and to help me?”
“No. I’ll take all the help I can get.”
“The problem is, if you’ve reached some degree of success where you have a million-dollar disposable income, you probably can’t afford to tick off this administration, or they will come at your business.”
“You won’t get the permits you need to do the business.”
“Over the MAGA split and on foreign policy, there are people of great means … who could put money in my race and post up against the Israel First billionaires.”
“But they’re staying on the sidelines, because their business will get ruined.”
This is why Marjorie Taylor Greene left Washington.
The Trump administration is abusing its power and influence to crush populist, America First voices in the Republican Party.

Write them a strongly-worded letter.
He's playing pocket pool.
So, is it Trump doing this?
Assie sure goes out and says stuff and tries to get people away from Trump, but is Trump threatening any of this??
No it’s nothing like that
Massie isnt threatening to ruin folk
I guess nobody ever told you that politics is a full contact sport. 😏
Rand wants to defund ICE among other issues. He votes with the Democrats as often as Republicans, so I wouldn’t trust him a lot. Apparently Trump doesn’t either.
“”Massie isnt threatening to ruin folk”””””
He votes with the democrats to ruin us all.
He votes with GOP about 90% of the time. Look it up
I don't give a shit. Thomas Massie is a politician. If he can't stand the heat from his own party because he's a mutant, then he needs to leave politics. Trump's own Congressional party members like Rand Paul, Tom Massie, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins, Tillis, Thune and others have f*cked Trump over and over during both his terms in office. And I'm supposed to give a crap about Tom Massie? Get bent.
Massie is lying through his worthless ass.
Politics isn’t bean bag.
Must we stoop to such levels?
“He votes with GOP about 90% of the time.”
Hopefully he will be voting 0% of the time when he is
beaten in the GOP Primary in 2026.
They’re duly elected memebrs of a branch of government
Similar to Trump yes, not the same I admit but they have a role
“””He votes with GOP about 90% of the time. Look it up””
He votes with the democrats on the important bills.
In case you haven’t noticed we’re in a civil war here. Its time to pick a lane. No wobbling! Wobblers aren’t helpful and need to be pushed aside. Wobblers are weak!
What are “guys”? I’m just a person of one
You make it sound like we’re some co-ordinated swarm attacking Trump. That’s nonsense. I dont even converse with others on the subject.
Anyway, I have praised Trump on many issues but not lately. You never seem to show up in those threads? You pick up on the ones where I think he’s veered off course.
“Must we stoop to such levels?”
You opened the conversation when you posted this thread.
Don’t get angry when others disagree with you.
The difference is it’s not MY opinion these are facts
I’m just putting them on the table and re-posting a post that has 1.9 million views on twitter/X
SOME Freepers object because it shows Trump Admin in bad light
(as it should because they’re abusing their positions!)
Are we not adult enough to discuss this?
If you think Massie - a politician - would behave differently if he were in Trump’s position (which may seem strong but has a weak spot - the slim GOP majority in Congress) then you don’t know politics. Sometimes the situation calls for hardball, within or beyond a party.
F Massie and you! When at war, you need to clearly pick a side. No one rides the fence.
