I wish that Trump would sometime in his lifetime learn that one does not always need to have something to say and especially if its rather childish.
Sometimes this man is simply unhinged and doesn't think before he publicly opens his big yap. I suspect his ginormous ego has a lot to do with that but sometimes this guy just gets on my nerves and under my skin.

If he were an employee of mine it would not take long before we could add the letters EX in front of the word employee.

WHY does he always have to shoot his own soldiers?
Its the biggest thing I really don't like about loud and egotistical people.

Show some class and some grace. Not everybody is going to agree with ya all the time. If one can't handle criticism, especially when its spot on ya shouldn't be in politics. Grow a pair Trump ! ACT like a leader and not a street thug..

I don't like Thom Tillis. On the other hand, I don't like Trump's name-calling very much. I used to think it was tactical. But I am increasingly thinking otherwise. And this really could cost the Republicans a seat.

Also, as I've said before, I am wondering WHY Trump hasn't taken the time to FULLY explain this bill to even his own supporters? I'm thinking now it must stink to high heavens with all sorts of wasteful spending (pork).

GOP's Thom Tillis Rage-Quits Senate, Will Not Seek Re-Election Amid 'Political Theatre' And 'Hypocrisy'

Sunday, Jun 29, 2025 - 01:55 PM
Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) announced on Sunday that he will not seek re-election, just one day after voting "no" on a procedural vote to advance President Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' - for which Trump attacked Tillis in a series of posts on Truth Social.

"In Washington over the last few years, it’s become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species," Tillis said in a statement, adding "It underscores the greatest form of hypocrisy in American politics. When people see independent thinking on the other side, they cheer. But when those very same people see independent thinking coming from their side, they scorn, ostracize, and even censure."

"As many of my colleagues have noticed over the last year, and at times even joked about, I haven’t exactly been excited about running for another term. That is true since the choice is between spending another six years navigating the political theatre and partisan gridlock in Washington or spending that time with the love of my life Susan, our two children, three beautiful grandchildren, and the rest of our extended family back home. It’s not a hard choice, and I will not be seeking re-election."

Tillis' decision creates a political opportunity for Democrats, as it now means a wide-open Senate race in a state that has long been a contested battleground.

In several posts to Truth Social, Trump slammed Tilis for being one of two GOP senators who voted against the bill - accusing him of seeking publicity with his "no" vote, and threatening to launch a campaign against him.

"Tillis is a talker and complainer, NOT A DOER," Trump wrote.
