    Trump is childish…..per Repub congressman

    “The level of immaturity is beyond words,” Paul said of the White House, adding that he’s lost “a lot of respect” for Trump.

    “It’s just incredibly petty,” Paul told CNN outside the Capitol on Wednesday evening. “I’m arguing from a true belief and worry that our country is mired in debt and getting worse. And they choose to react by uninviting my grandson to the picnic. I don’t know. I just think it really makes me lose a lot of respect I once had for Donald Trump.”

    Why does everything have to descend to this level?’” Paul added.

    President Obama didn’t disinvite us …. Biden didn’t disinvite us, and we always did this,” Paul said, noting he’s been to 10 White House picnics. “It’s the Americans’ White House. We all pay for it.”

    (Trump now says he’s invited. But considering the level of hate and attacks Trump sends out as his standard mode, easy to see him playing these games)

    Add Representative Tom Massie to the list who also got uninvited for speaking the truth about the budget bill and failing to fall in line.

    I’m shocked this is actually still happening.
    I can imagine Dems in one corner Republicans in another but maybe I’m wrong

    Yes, pretty petty to complain you got uninvited to a picnic…it’s just a picnic.

    So you think the petty people in this scenario are the ones who got uninvited and not the person who uninvited them because they (correctly) stated that the budget bill would increase the deficit?

    Hardly. It's a lesson for anyone speaking out of turn, and it's not subtle. Petty, yes, counter-productive, of course, but nothing in DC is "just" anything.

    Exactly. Like I said. Maga is not fiscally conservative.

    Rand Paul would make a great POTUS because he has convictions and he sticks to them.

    MAGA is republicans are not. Republicans are really less emotional democrats who will lie to your face.

    Epic levels of gaslighting. The last remaining principled conservatives oppose the spending bill because it will balloon the deficit. MAGA is fully on board with that and has resorted to blatantly lying by saying it will reduce the deficit.

    bizarre maga is backing the BBB that will increase our already large deficit and add trillions more to our debt. And why? “Because Trump said…..”

    215 Republicans in the House voted to add $3 trillion to our national debt by voting for Trump's BBB. What percentage of them do you think are MAGA?
