Trump Declares GOP United While Blasting Greene, Paul, and Massie

President Donald Trump said Sunday that Republicans have “never been so united,” even as he criticized several GOP lawmakers and renewed his frustration with senators who oppose ending the legislative filibuster, as reported by The New York Post.

Trump delivered the remarks in a series of posts on Truth Social late Sunday while addressing ongoing disputes inside the party.

“The Republican Party has never been so UNITED AS IT IS RIGHT NOW! Other than Rand Paul, Rand Paul Jr.(Massie!), Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, and a couple of other ‘lowlifes,’” Trump wrote.

He added that despite disagreements about the filibuster, “there is great spirit and cohesion.”

Trump’s comments come as tensions inside the GOP have intensified.

Earlier this month, he clashed with outgoing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia after she supported releasing Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein and questioned Trump’s commitment to the “America First” agenda.

Greene announced Friday that she will retire from Congress on Jan. 5, 2026, a timeline that allows her to qualify for a congressional pension at age 62.

Her departure could complicate the GOP’s narrow House majority next year if Democrats win a Tennessee special election scheduled for Dec. 2.

Trump has also continued feuding with Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and has encouraged efforts to primary Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican with libertarian leanings, in the 2025 cycle.

These conflicts follow a series of smaller disputes among House Republicans since the government shutdown ended on Nov. 12.

Last week, several House Republicans expressed frustration after an unsuccessful attempt to censure Delegate Stacey Plaskett of the U.S. Virgin Islands over 2019 text messages with Epstein.

In a separate action, Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina forced a vote to censure Rep. Cory Mills of Florida over allegations of domestic abuse, stolen valor, and financial misconduct. Mills has denied all the allegations.

Another point of disagreement arose from a provision in the government funding bill that allows senators who were subjects of improper surveillance to sue the federal government for damages.

House Republicans objected to the measure, putting them at odds with their Senate colleagues.

Trump has repeatedly urged Senate Republicans to eliminate the 60-vote filibuster. Democrats used the filibuster during the most recent shutdown, which lasted a record 43 days.

In his posts on Sunday, Trump pointed to what he described as the party’s growth and accomplishments during his presidency.

“The Republican Party is MUCH BIGGER than it was when I announced in 2015 or, ever was before – Many Millions More Members! We now have the Strongest Border EVER, Biggest Tax Cuts, the Best Economy, Highest Stock Market in USA History, and sooo much more,” he wrote.

He ended the message with: “BUT, THE BEST IS YET TO COME! VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!”
