Former President Donald Trump has publicly called for Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie to be ousted from office in the 2026 midterms, citing his frequent opposition to MAGA administration proposals, particularly the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Trump also criticized Massie’s criticism of the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, claiming Massie polls poorly. In his statement, Trump endorsed Captain Ed Gallrein to challenge Massie in the primary and attached a photo of them together in the Oval Office. Massie, however, has not been deterred, as he continues to pursue transparency in the Epstein case, even working across party lines to demand the release of further investigative documents.

Trump Demands Epstein-Obsessed Nemesis Be Removed From Congress
The situation is pretty clear: Trump wants Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie out, and it’s all about the Epstein files. Apparently, being concerned about a potential pedophile scandal is now labeled as “Epstein-obsessed,” which seems like a convenient way to try to deflect from the core issue.
It appears the former president is lashing out because Massie, a Republican, has been vocal about the need for transparency regarding the Epstein case, including the release of related documents. Trump’s reaction seems to confirm the obvious – he is trying to protect those involved, including himself. If the files were to be released and he was not in them, he could easily prove his innocence by demanding they be released. Trump’s behavior reeks of someone trying to bury something, and the more he fights to keep the files hidden, the more suspicious it looks.
Massie’s stance on the Epstein case has clearly struck a nerve. Trump is going after Massie in the upcoming primary, putting his support behind a different candidate, seemingly hoping to install someone more aligned with his own agenda. This is a clear indication that Trump sees Massie as an obstacle to protecting those potentially implicated in the Epstein scandal.
The core of the issue boils down to transparency. Many feel that the public has a right to know the truth about the Epstein case, and Massie’s efforts to push for the release of documents are seen as a vital step towards uncovering that truth. Trump’s actions, on the other hand, are seen as obstructionist. His efforts to remove Massie from Congress are viewed as a direct attempt to silence those who are trying to shed light on the matter.
The timing of Trump’s attack on Massie is also telling. It comes as Massie, along with other members of Congress, is pushing for the release of more documents related to the Epstein case. This pressure is likely what prompted Trump to take action, hoping to eliminate a potential threat to his interests. He wants to shut down anyone who dares question his dealings with such a person, no matter their political affiliation.
The whole situation reeks of a cover-up. Trump’s long-standing friendship with Epstein, his previous comments about him, and now his attempts to discredit and remove those who are demanding transparency, all point towards a desire to control the narrative and protect those who are potentially at risk of being exposed. It’s a classic move: try to distract, deflect, and ultimately, protect those involved, especially when the names of those people might cause an issue.
Many people are questioning if this is the start of a trend. The idea of removing people from congress if they disagree is a dangerous precedent, and a concerning sign of authoritarianism. Such moves are common in dictatorships and often used to silence those who are perceived as threats.
Ultimately, this is about more than just one representative. It’s about protecting the interests of powerful individuals and shielding them from accountability. It’s a desperate attempt to control the flow of information and maintain the status quo. The people who are calling for the release of the Epstein files are not crazy or “Epstein-obsessed,” they are simply demanding transparency and justice.
