Former President Trump went after the flurry of GOP House members leaving their seats this year, throwing the already razor-thin Republican majority up in the air.

“Never forget our cowards and weaklings! Such a disgrace,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday in response to an articleabout outgoing Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.).

Trump’s Easter criticisms were aimed at Gallagher and former Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), who both chose to retire early from Congress, leaving their seats empty. Gallagher will resign from Congress in mid-April, leaving his seat open until next January, while Buck resigned last week to be replaced in June.

The openings, added to other vacancies in the House, bring the GOP majority down to just a single seat after Gallagher resigns, making the already difficult task of passing party-line votes that much harder. The situation has even led to some speculation that Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) could be named Speaker, with some Republicans in revolt against Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).

    They ARE cowards and weaklings. They are running away from the monster they created instead of getting rid of him. They are cutting tail and running for the hills instead of fixing the mess they made. “We lost control of our monster, let’s run away because I don’t get paid enough for this”. Cowards all of them.

      All of the orange mobster’s little people are cowards looking for his blessings. The ones who left are the lessor cowards as they realize they have been used and abused.

        There is no “lesser” of cowardice here. They made a mess and are now running away from cleaning it up. They are maybe worse, they don’t care about country, they were only there for themselves in the first place and cut their losses and ran when THEY were inconvenienced and not going to get their way anymore.

    Look, I am gonna lay it out right here: trump is short on money and could use some help. I would be willing to donate to his campaign if starting today he drops all food and just starts eating feces on stage. If he wants my money he should do it willingly and happily, hungrily shoving loads of feces into his large mouth with his little hands.

    If he permanently drops hamberders and ketchup to just eat diarrhea onstage, I would give him regular donations.

    My balls in your court, donald.
