Thomas Massie just exposed that Trump is threatening to “ruin” his supporters’ businesses if they fund his campaign.
“I’m not talking about IRS audits.”
“It’s bigger than that.”
“Here’s what happens behind the scenes … ”
First, Trump allies are coercing Massie’s consultants into quitting his re-election campaign:
“Three of my consultants have quit on my campaign, all three for the same reason.”
“They were told: your other 30 clients will fire you if you keep working for Massie.”
“They make it hard to hire people.”
“I really love the consultants I got now, because they’re the ones who said: screw you, I’m gonna work for Massie brcause I believe in what he’s doing, and I’m good enough at my job, I’ll go find some other clients if you clowns fire me.”
Second, Trump allies are threatening to “ruin” Massie supporters’ businesses by abusing state power:
“I’ve got 15,000 donors across the United States. My average donation is $80.”
“Is that because I don’t want millionaires to give to a super PAC and to help me?”
“No. I’ll take all the help I can get.”
“The problem is, if you’ve reached some degree of success where you have a million-dollar disposable income, you probably can’t afford to tick off this administration, or they will come at your business.”
“You won’t get the permits you need to do the business.”
“Over the MAGA split and on foreign policy, there are people of great means … who could put money in my race and post up against the Israel First billionaires.”
“But they’re staying on the sidelines, because their business will get ruined.”
This is why Marjorie Taylor Greene left Washington.
The Trump administration is abusing its power and influence to crush populist, America First voices in the Republican Party.

This is exactly the kind of abuse of government power that Republicans and Independents railed against under Biden.
It was wrong when Biden did it, and it's wrong when Trump does it.

This was never about left vs. right.
It’s We The People vs. the oligarchy.
Progressives, conservatives, and populists need to wake up and unite against our common enemy.
That’s how we build a political revolution and unravel the deel state. https://t.co/MRDA2rZwPA

Trump runs like a mob boss. Back him and your business dies, cross him and every permit, client, and paycheck gets wrecked.
