Trump goes after ‘moron’ Massie at National Prayer Breakfast

Trump’s insult at the National Prayer Breakfast signals GOP intolerance for dissent as Massie faces a Trump-backed primary challenge ahead of November midterms.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump called Representative Thomas Massie a `moron` at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC because Massie pushes spending cuts, opposes new wars, and exposes sex traffickers.
  • His recent cross-aisle legal move last month includes teaming up with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna to ask a judge for a special master, criticizing the DOJ as `cannot be trusted`, and he was one of the few House Republicans to vote against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, earning praise from Elon Musk.
  • In October, Trump endorsed Navy veteran Ed Gallrein to challenge Massie, signaling how the administration will respond to dissent ahead of the midterms later this year.
  • Public attacks from Trump have prompted responses from party figures, with Greene criticizing House Republicans' silence over Massie's votes and stance on foreign aid.
  • His anti-intervention stance, including opposing U.S. action in Venezuela, and Elon Musk telling him `You're awesome` in July, underscore GOP divisions over foreign policy.
