Trump’s $10 Million Campaign to CRUSH Thomas Massie — Inside the GOP's Civil War
🔥 Trump DECLARES WAR on Thomas Massie — GOP Civil War Erupts Over Iran, War Powers & 2026 Elections 🔥
Welcome back to The Josh Lafazan Show! Today’s episode dives into a stunning and rapidly escalating Republican feud — one that could reshape the future of the GOP. Buckle up 🇺🇸👇
🟥 #1: Trump vs. Massie — From Policy Disagreement to Political War
What started as a budget dispute has now exploded into a full-blown political war. Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) — long considered a principled libertarian and fiscal hawk — has become Donald Trump’s #1 target in the House.
Weeks ago, Massie publicly opposed Trump’s $3.7 trillion “Big Beautiful Budget Bill,” slamming its projected $4.8 trillion deficit, tax hikes on low-income Americans, and increases to military spending. He gave a fiery House floor speech attacking Trump’s priorities. 🎥 (VIDEO)
That didn’t sit well with Trump.
During a Capitol Hill visit, Trump called Massie a "Democrat in disguise" and allegedly told House GOP leadership, “Massie’s gotta go.”
But the real nuclear moment came after Trump launched military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities — and Massie struck back with a War Powers Resolution that would force Trump to get congressional authorization for future military actions.
Now, Trump isn’t just mad — he’s on a mission.
🟥 #2: Trump Launches Super PAC to Defeat Massie
In a blistering Truth Social post, Trump accused Massie of “siding with the enemy,” vowing to remove him from Congress.
And he means business.
Just 48 hours later, Trump allies launched “America First Kentucky,” a Super PAC dedicated exclusively to defeating Massie in his 2026 primary. Ads are already airing in Kentucky painting Massie as a traitor to MAGA and a friend of AOC. Trump is reportedly personally committing $10 million to the effort, with top aides like Corey Lewandowski and Stephen Miller driving strategy.

🟦 #3: Massie Fires Back — “I Took an Oath to the Constitution, Not Donald Trump”
But Massie isn’t backing down. He’s gone on offense, calling Trump’s actions authoritarian and reminding Americans that Congress — not the President — has the constitutional authority to declare war.
His quote:
“If defending the separation of powers and fiscal sanity makes me an enemy of the MAGA movement, so be it.”
Massie says the GOP is at a fork in the road — choose principled conservatism, or descend into personality-driven populism.
🟩 #4: What This Means for the GOP
This isn’t just about one Congressman. This is a defining moment for the Republican Party. Here’s what’s at stake:
Will Trump’s PAC succeed in removing a Republican critic?
Will liberty-minded conservatives fight back and carve out a new lane within the GOP?
Will this fuel a full-scale civil war between populist MAGA loyalists and constitutional conservatives?
Insiders say this may be the biggest intra-party battle since Trump ousted Liz Cheney from GOP leadership. And with Trump on the ballot in 2026, every primary challenger, every PAC dollar, and every House seat is part of a larger war over what it means to be a Republican in the Trump era.
🟨 #5: Where It Goes From Here
Congress is on edge. Republicans are quietly taking sides. Some fear crossing Trump. Others whisper that Massie is saying what they’re too afraid to admit — that unchecked presidential power is dangerous, even when it comes from your own party.
With more budget showdowns, foreign policy escalations, and 2026 primary season heating up, the fallout from this feud could have major implications for the House majority, presidential politics, and American foreign policy.
👀 Stay tuned — because this battle is just beginning.
