'He just couldn't utter the words!' Trump rages at Republican legend for not praising him

President Donald Trump fired off at former White House official and GOP lobbyist Karl Rove Wednesday after Rove, appearing on Fox News, stopped short of attributing the country's “tremendous success” to the president.

Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump labeled Rove a “RINO,” or ‘Republican in name only,’ and raged at the former senior advisor to the Bush administration for being “unable” to “utter” his name.

“RINO Karl Rove, when asked on Fox & Friends this morning how to explain the tremendous success of the Republican Party, with millions of people joining it, and the Dems losing millions, was unable to give an answer,” Trump wrote. “He just couldn’t utter the words, President Donald J. Trump! But that’s OK, the people get it, and always have!”

Trump has long feuded with Rove, a key architect of the Iraq War, reportedly calling him a “dope” as far back as 2010. He’d go on to criticize Rove over the years, calling him a “pompous fool with bad advice” in 2021, and a “total loser” earlier this year.

Rove has not been kind to Trump either, having criticized him ahead of his victory in 2016 frequently on Fox News and other mediums.
