From Axios: President Trump’s political operation has launched an aggressive effort to unseat Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, its first such effort to defeat a sitting Republican incumbent, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: By going after Massie, Trump’s team is looking to put wayward Republicans on notice that they’re ready to play hardball.

Massie has attacked Trump over his strike on Iran, saying on X that it was “not Constitutional,” prompting the president to fire back on Truth Social that the congressman is “not MAGA.”

The report explains that Trump’s team has launched a super PAC devoted to defeating Massie in the May 2026 primary, called Kentucky MAGA.

It effort will be headed up by Trump’s senior political advisers, Tony Fabrizio and Chris LaCivita, who say they will spend “whatever it takes” to defeat Massie.

In a blistering Truth Social post Sunday, President Trump wrote:

Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is. Actually, MAGA doesn’t want him, doesn’t know him, and doesn’t respect him. He is a negative force who almost always Votes “NO,” no matter how good something may be. He’s a simple minded “grandstander” who thinks it’s good politics for Iran to have the highest level Nuclear weapon, while at the same time yelling “DEATH TO AMERICA” at every chance they get.

Iran has killed and maimed thousands of Americans, and even took over the American Embassy in Tehran under the Carter Administration. We had a spectacular military success yesterday, taking the “bomb” right out of their hands (and they would use it if they could!) but, as usual, and despite all of the praise and accolades received, this “lightweight” Congressman is against what was so brilliantly achieved last night in Iran.

Massie is weak, ineffective, and votes “NO” on virtually everything put before him (Rand Paul, Jr.), no matter how good something may be. He is disrespectful to our great military, and all that they stand for, not even acknowledging their brilliance and bravery in yesterday’s attack, which was a total and complete WIN. Massie should drop his fake act and start putting America First, but he doesn’t know how to get there — he doesn’t have a clue!

He’ll undoubtedly vote against the Great, Big, Beautiful Bill, even though non-passage means a 68% Tax Increase for everybody, and many things far worse than that. MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague!

The good news is that we will have a wonderful American Patriot running against him in the Republican Primary, and I’ll be out in Kentucky campaigning really hard. MAGA is not about lazy, grandstanding, nonproductive politicians, of which Thomas Massie is definitely one.

Thank you to our incredible military for the AMAZING job they did last night. It was really SPECIAL!!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

Trump doubled down Monday morning, adding in an all-caps demand, “GET THIS “BUM” OUT OF OFFICE, ASAP!!!”

There’s already a Republican who wants to run against Massie.

Jeremy Harrell, a combat veteran and founder of Veterans Club Inc. responded to Trump’s fiery post, writing, “Mr. President, I’m in the 4th district of Kentucky….I’m very much MAGA Sir and ready to serve. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump.”

Someone else is trying to get conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings to run for the spot.

Meanwhile, Massie has ramped up his fundraising efforts in response to Trump’s vow to replace him.
