US President Donald Trump faced intense backlash online after he made a personal attack on Republican lawmaker Thomas Massie, questioning his recent marriage and calling his new wife 'stuck with a loser.' The derogatory comment sparked widespread outrage, with many calling it 'utterly disgraceful.' Trump's harsh words were directed at Massie, 54, who recently married Carolyn Moffa, a 36-year-old agriculture policy staffer for Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. Massie's late wife, Rhonda, passed away last year after a 31-year marriage. The couple had four adult children and three grandchildren together. Trump's remarks on Truth Social were seen as a personal attack, crossing the line of politics and entering the realm of Massie's personal life. Many social media users slammed the President's actions, with former DOGE advisor James Fishbeck calling it 'utterly disgraceful.' The controversy comes as Trump faces criticism for withdrawing his endorsement of Georgia Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene, with whom he has disagreed on several issues, including the Epstein files. Both Massie and Greene have pushed for the release of the files, while Trump has dismissed it as a 'Democrat hoax.' Massie, who has not publicly responded to Trump's attack, had earlier expressed his grief over his late wife's passing, saying 'I still miss [her] every day.' The incident highlights the ongoing divisions within the Republican party, with many calling out Trump's lack of decency and respect for his colleagues.
