Trump’s Disturbing Attack on Rep. Massie’s Late Wife Draws Outrage

UPDATE: Outrage erupts after President Donald Trump unleashed a shocking attack on the late wife of Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) in a post on Truth Social on November 14, 2025. Trump’s comments have been described as “repulsive” and “grotesque” by political analysts, sparking widespread condemnation.

In his post, Trump targeted Massie’s recent remarriage, stating, “Boy, that was quick,” despite the fact that Massie wed approximately 16 months after his late wife’s passing in June 2024. The former president added, “His wife will soon find out that she’s stuck with a LOSER!” This inflammatory rhetoric has incensed many, including prominent political commentators.

On a recent episode of “The Bulwark Takes,” analysts Sam Stein and Jack Cocchiarella discussed the fallout from Trump’s remarks. Stein voiced his disbelief, declaring, “Honestly, like it’s just a horrible thing to do and say. The man was married for 30 years. His wife tragically passed. He is remarried. You are allowed to remarry.”

The backlash has been swift, with many online commentators, including some within Trump’s own base, labeling his comments as “repulsive.” Stein noted that even those who typically support Trump found this particular attack unacceptable, emphasizing the emotional toll of losing a spouse.

Stein further remarked, “I know Trump has said millions of horrible things about people all the time… but I think a lot of people found this viscerally grotesque and rightfully so. You don’t go after a dude who tragically lost his wife.”

With the political climate heating up as the 2024 election approaches, Trump’s comments are drawing attention not just for their insensitivity but also for their potential impact on his support base.

As the story develops, many are watching closely to see how this incident affects Trump’s standing within the GOP and among voters. The emotional weight of Massie’s loss and the public’s reaction to Trump’s words underscore a growing concern about the tone of political discourse in America today.
