Trump Is Feeling The Heat As He Calls Republican Town Hall Protests Fake

Donald Trump has noticed that Republicans are showing up at the town halls of GOP members of Congress and they are angry. Trump has decided that his own supporters are fake.

On the day before he is set to address a joint session of Congress, things are not going well for Donald Trump.

His approval ratings are negative. Voters have turned on him and are demanding that he fix the economy. Trump has decided to ignore the voters, including his own supporters, and allowed Elon Musk to slash funding for government programs while laying off federal employees, including a substantial percentage of disabled veterans.

When House and Senate Republicans hold town halls, they are being increasingly asked about DOGE, or veterans losing their jobs, or benefits cuts, and more often than not the result is a viral moment.

When Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) was asked about DOGE firing disabled vets, he responded by ending his town hall and leaving. Marshall’s story is not unique. The situation has become so bad for Republicans that they have been advised to stop holding town halls because the Republican response to their own unpopular policies is to hide and hope that it blows over.

Even though Trump lives in a bubble where he thinks everything is going great, the rumblings of discontent in America’s grassroots were going to eventually reach him, and they did on Monday.

Trump posted on Truth Social:

Paid “troublemakers” are attending Republican Town Hall Meetings. It is all part of the game for the Democrats, but just like our big LANDSLIDE ELECTION, it’s not going to work for them!

The problem for Trump is that these people showing up at the town halls aren’t Democrats. They are Republicans. How do we know this? Because they are on video saying I’m a Republican, or I’m not a Democrat.

Take these people in Kansas who are definitely not Democrats:

Speaker Mike Johnson has claimed that the angry Americans at town halls are fake.

All of this is very good news for reasons that we will discuss immediately.
