Trump is a bulldog that was elected to take down the Bureaucracy that has made itself king over us.
Unfortunately, humans are fallen creatures who do silly fallen things.
On Monday, President Trump took to Truth Social to express his ire with Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky for not falling into lockstep with all of his policy wishes.
Massie is a dye-in-the-wool constitutionalist who actually wants to cut federal spending. Like Sen. Rand Paul (also of Kentucky), the guy doesn't budge when it comes to government waste.
Trump, meanwhile, wants to cut waste, but is also pushing some serious spending proposals of his own.
Because Massie won't get onboard with every line item, Trump has cast him out of the fold.
And thus we get to the First Great MAGA War of 2025. 🔥

On the other, the Constitutionalists, a rag-tag collection of everyone from Christian nationalists with their own social media apps:
To libertarian streamers with beanies:
To Christian actors who played Hercules:
To on-the-street reporters:
To Christian moms in Colorado:
To curmudgeonly Catholic podcast hosts with iconic beards:
Interestingly enough, Trump's usual tactic seems to be failing here.
Trump will usually force his target to the negotiation table by putting them on blast. It works great, say, when he's cutting through the virtue signaling and political correctness to expose the woke grift of his opponents. It also works when dealing with people who are trying to take advantage of America's wealth and generosity, like Panama making special deals with the Chinese to get rich off the canal America built.
But when he tries it on a beloved congressman with the most conservative voting record in Congress ... well, just see the replies on Truth Social itself:
Massie seems to be a fault line that is making a lot of Trump voters vocal about their frustrations 👇
And Massie isn't backing down:
This is a rare instance where I have to leave Trump with this meme 👇
