Scandal-ridden, washed-up former guy Donald Trump finally took to his struggling Truth Social platform to offer up his congratulations for new Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who finally secured enough votes to gain the Speakership under new GOP leadership, after only fifteen different tries. But, like any good Trump “statement,” he couldn’t do so without also taking a moment to rail against pretty much everyone else he’s mad at these days.
This time, it just so happened to be a whopping 17 different Republican senators, nearly a third of the entire Republican Senate caucus, all of whom he’s big mad at for voting in favor of a massive $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that recently passed.
Trump kicked off his little Truth Social statement with his congratulations for McCarthy — who he smoked out down to the wire when it came to actually throwing any public support behind the guy — and even made sure to include a video clip of Kevin crediting his narrowly-successful bid for second in line to the presidency to Trump’s support.
But Kevin’s spotlight didn’t last long.

Trump was quick to turn his focus to “Mitch McConnell and his China flagrant boss, Coco Chow,” ensuring that he included what feels like the millionth racist slur against the Senate Minority Leader’s wife, who formerly served in Trump’s Cabinet as Secretary of Transportation. “Something is wrong with McConnell, and those Republican Senators that Vote with him,” Trump fumed before screeching in shouty caps, “PRIMARY THEM ALL!!!”
His full social media post reads:
Great job Kevin! We must now stop Mitch McConnell and his China flagrant boss, Coco Chow. It’s as though he just doesn’t care anymore, he pushes through anything the Democrats want. The $1.7 TRILLION quickly approved Bill of the week before was HORRIBLE. Zero for USA Border Security. If he waited just ten days, the now ‘United Republican Congress’ could have made it MUCH BETTER, or KILLED IT. Something is wrong with McConnell, and those Republican Senators that Vote with him. PRIMARY THEM ALL!!!”
Mediaite laid out the full list of the 18 Republican senators Trump is looking to run out of Congress:
• Roy Blunt (Missouri)
• John Boozman (Arkansas)
• Shelley Capito (West Virginia)
• Susan Collins (Maine)
• John Cornyn (Texas)
• Tom Cotton (Arkansas)
• Lindsey Graham (South Carolina)
• Jim Inhofe (Oklahoma)
• Mitch McConnell (Kentucky)
• Jerry Moran (Kansas)
• Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
• Rob Portman (Ohio)
• Mitt Romney (Utah)
• Mike Rounds (South Dakota)
• Richard Shelby (Alabama)
• John Thune (South Dakota)
• Roger Wicker (Mississippi)
• Todd Young (Indiana)
As noted by the publication, that list actually counts for 36 percent of all Republican senators, though Blunt and Shelby have since retired, and the former US president is directing his followers to oust them all.
Frankly, it seems Trump knows that his grip on the GOP is slipping fast, and his desperation is officially in high gear.
