Trump betrayed the man who tried to name an Interstate after him
from Hope For America with Heather Delaney Reese · host Heather Delaney Reese
The President of the United States woke up early this morning for his third "annual" physical exam in just the past 13 months. Before leaving the White House for Walter Reed, Donald Trump posted more than 20 times on Truth Social. But one post stood out from the rest because it crossed into something darker. Donald Trump shared an image of himself holding a shotgun as if he were personally threatening members of his own political party, whom he believes are not loyal enough to him.Based on the events of 5-26-2026The Breakdown:Trump posted an image of himself sitting on top of a rhinoceros holding a shotgun beside giant letters reading "NO RINOS!"Why this was the President of the United States using violent imagery to target members of his own partySenator John Cornyn, a four-term Republican first elected in 2002, lost his Texas primary runoff to Trump-endorsed Ken PaxtonCornyn even introduced legislation to name a 1,800-mile highway "Trump Interstate" trying to woo a Trump endorsementWhy Trump knifed him: Cornyn "was not supportive of me when times were tough"Cornyn's own warning: "We will have an Election Day massacre" if Paxton is at the top of the ticketPaxton was impeached by his own GOP-dominated state legislature in 2023 on sixteen countsWhy Trump will burn his own house down to settle a scoreRepresentative Thomas Massie lost his Kentucky primary just a week ago, after the most expensive House primary in American history at more than $32 millionMassie's crime: pushing to release the Epstein files and voting against the budget billTrump's pattern from his first term: Jeff Sessions, William Barr, Mike Pence, all loyal until loyalty required betraying the ConstitutionEven Elon Musk, who spent close to $300 million to put Trump back in office, discarded the moment he criticized the spending billTrump's third "annual" physical in roughly 13 months and the announcement that everything checked out "PERFECTLY"Why a man turning 80 next month cannot tolerate even the appearance of weaknessHow the doctors covering for him are no different from CornynThe Trump Mobile T1 phone collapse: 59 million dollars taken in deposits, "Made in the USA" promise quietly vanished, the few phones sent out appear to be relabeled overstockThe promotional material even shows the wrong number of stripes on the American flag printed on the deviceHow the same supporters being scammed are losing their healthcare under the largest Medicaid cuts in historySouth Carolina's Republican-led state Senate killed Trump's redistricting push to erase Jim Clyburn's majority-Black districtRepublican state Senator Richard Cash: "Neither my conscience nor my common sense will allow me to stop an election that is already begun"More than 32,000 South Carolinians cast ballots on day one of early voting, and that turnout gave Republicans the spine to stand upOn the same day Trump posted a meme about threatening disloyal Republicans, members of his own party did the brave thing so many others before them failed to do, and his people called it betrayal. But it was not betrayal. It was conscience. The very Republicans Trump despises most, the ones he threatened with violence just this morning, are the same people who just proved he can be stopped.
