唐纳德·特朗普总统在肯塔基州第四国会选区共和党初选中支持挑战者埃德·加尔雷恩（Ed Gallrein），以对抗现任共和党议员托马斯·梅西（Thomas Massie）。周二，他再次强调了自己的支持，而他计划于周三访问蓝草之州（肯塔基州别称）。
随后，特朗普在周三上午的Truth Social帖子中再次针对梅西展开抨击。
“我预测，‘代表’托马斯·梅西将成为美国国会漫长而传奇的历史中最糟糕的共和党议员，甚至比疯狂的莉兹·切尼（Crazy Liz Chaney）、哭泣的亚当·金辛格（Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger）和玛乔丽‘叛徒’布朗（Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown）还要糟糕（记住，压力之下绿会变棕！）。他们都是不合时宜者和失败者，但梅西在肯塔基州初选中对抗一位伟大的美国爱国者，希望他会惨败。我爱肯塔基州！！！”总统在周三上午的Truth Social帖子中宣称。
梅西在给福克斯新闻数字版的短信中回应道：“实际上，是莉兹·切尼和亚当·金辛格在2020年3月与特朗普联手试图击败我。”

在X平台（原推特）上的帖子中，梅西写道：“我预测‘总统’唐纳德·特朗普会不情不愿地签署我那部漂亮的《爱泼斯坦文件透明法案》，导致世界各地饱受困扰的王子、大使、首相和首席执行官们在极度羞愧中被逮捕或辞职。哦，等等，那已经发生了。”
总统在周二的Truth Social帖子中部分声明：“埃德·加尔雷恩上尉得到我完全的支持，对抗‘议员’托马斯·梅西——他只投票反对共和党，为激进左派的生活变得非常轻松。与‘轻量级’的梅西不同，梅西是真正的以色列仇恨者，是完全无能的失败者，让我们大失所望，而加尔雷恩上尉是不会让肯塔基州失望的胜利者！”
“有人得知觉醒的埃迪（Woke Eddie）在特朗普获得提名时就离开了共和党，感到很不高兴！这是今天的Truth Social帖子，只是几个月前内容的复制粘贴。说埃德‘今日提交’，这甚至不可能，因为登记截止日期在1月就已过去。”梅西在周二的X帖子中写道。
梅西周二在X平台上发布了一份他声称是加尔雷恩的选民登记卡的文件——该文件显示加尔雷恩于2016年5月登记为无党派人士。
“这是埃德的选民登记卡，记录了他何时为抗议特朗普在提名前几天获得提名而放弃共和党身份。”梅西在帖子中写道。
周三上午，梅西在给福克斯新闻数字版的短信中谈到特朗普周二的帖子时表示：“他的Truth Social帖子是几个月前的内容 recycled（重复利用），但我们的广告是全新的。我们今天将在X平台、电视和广播中投放该广告。”他指向一个带有攻击加尔雷恩党派历史的竞选广告的帖子。
梅西的竞选广告称，加尔雷恩在2021年将登记重新转为共和党。

“我很自豪地三次为特朗普总统投票，并在2020年和2024年捐款，而托马斯·梅西在2024年为他竞选对手，并每周在国会与民主党人联手投票反对特朗普总统。”加尔雷恩在福克斯新闻数字版获得的一份声明中说道。

当被问及此次访问时，白宫发言人莉兹·休斯顿（Liz Huston）告诉福克斯新闻数字版：“特朗普总统将于周三访问俄亥俄州和肯塔基州，以宣传他的经济成就，并详细说明其政府为降低价格和提高美国经济可负担性所采取的积极、持续努力。”
周三上午，梅西在给福克斯新闻数字版的短信中表示：“我今天在本选区还有其他预先安排的活动，包括参观两所距离总统演讲地点约3小时车程的公立学校。”

President Donald Trump, who is backing challenger Ed Gallrein over incumbent GOP Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District Republican primary, highlighted his endorsement again on Tuesday ahead of his planned Wednesday visit to the Bluegrass State.
Trump then followed that up by targeting Massie again in a Wednesday morning Truth Social post.
“I predict that ‘Representative’Thomas Massie will go down as the WORST Republican Congressman in the long and fabled history of the United States Congress, even worse than Crazy Liz Chaney, Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger, and Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown (Remember, Green turns to Brown under stress!). They are all misfits and losers, but Massie, who is running against a great American Patriot in the Kentucky Primary, will hopefully lose BIG. I LOVE KENTUCKY!!!” the president declared in the Wednesday morning Truth Social post.
In a text message to Fox News Digital, Massie wrote, “It was actually Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger who teamed up with Trump in March of 2020 to try and defeat me.”

In a post on X, Massie wrote, “I predict ‘President’ DJT will begrudgingly sign my beautiful Epstein Files Transparency Act, causing beleaguered princes and ambassadors and prime ministers and CEOs around the world to be arrested or resign in total shame. Oh wait, that already happened.”
The president had declared in part of a Truth Social post on Tuesday, “Captain Ed Gallrein has my Complete and Total Endorsement against ‘Congressman’ Thomas Massie — He only votes AGAINST the Republican Party, making life very easy for the Radical Left. Unlike ‘lightweight’ Congressman Massie, a true hater of Israel, and a totally ineffective LOSER who has failed us so badly, CAPTAIN ED GALLREIN IS A WINNER WHO WILL NOT LET KENTUCKY DOWN!”
“Someone’s upset to learn Woke Eddie left the Republican Party when Trump won the nomination! Here’s today’s Truth Social post. It’s just a copy and paste from several months ago. Says Ed ‘filed today,’ which isn’t even possible since the filing deadline passed in January,” Massie wrote in a Tuesday post on X.
Massie on Tuesday posted a document on X that he said was Gallrein’s voter registration card — the document shows Gallrein registering as an independent in May 2016.
“Here’s Ed’s Voter Registration card documenting when he abandoned the GOP to protest Trump securing the nomination just days before,” Massie wrote in the post.
In a text message to Fox News Digital on Wednesday morning, Massie said of Trump’s Tuesday post, “His Truth Social post was recycled from months ago, but our ad is brand new. We’ll be running the ad in this X post on TV and radio today,” Massie wrote, pointing to a post that features a campaign ad attacking Gallrein over his party affiliation history.
Massie’s campaign ad claims that Gallrein switched his registration back to the Republican Party in 2021.

“I was proud to vote for President Trump all three times and donate in 2020 and 2024, unlike Thomas Massie who campaigned against him in 2024 and sides with the Democrats to vote against President Trump every week in Congress,” Gallrein said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.
Trump is slated to appear at an event in Hebron, Kentucky, on Wednesday.
A Tuesday post on Gallrein’s X account said, “President Donald Trump is coming to Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District this Wednesday to support Ed Gallrein for Congress.”

When asked about the visit, White House spokeswoman Liz Huston told Fox News Digital, “President Trump will visit the great states of Ohio and Kentucky on Wednesday to tout his economic victories and detail his Administration’s aggressive, ongoing efforts to lower prices and make America more affordable.”

In a text message to Fox News Digital on Wednesday morning, Massie wrote, “I have other previously scheduled events in the district today, including a visit to two public schools that are about 3 hours from the President’s speech.”
