The ongoing MAGA backlash against the Trump administration over what critics have characterized as its incompetence to make good on campaign promises has extended to House Republicans, who on Monday were dogpiled by conservative critics online after making a self-congratulatory social media post.

“It’s simple: Republicans recognize that YOU, the American citizen, know how best to use YOUR money,” reads the online post from the official House Republicans X account. “Democrats believe that the GOVERNMENT knows better than you.”

Both conservative and MAGA critics, however, were clearly unhappy with the GOP’s record since reclaiming the congressional majority, and didn’t hesitate to respond with scathing criticism.

“You can f--- right off,” wrote X user “BanjoBased,” a self-described MAGA conservative, responding to the House Republicans’ self-congratulatory social media post. “I’ve dedicated a portion of my life to helping elect Republicans locally and federally… and for what!? Codify Trump’s executive orders! Do something, anything!”

Others, like X user "YN," an opponent of COVID-era policies, called House Republicans "useless," and X user “TheMagelk,” another self-described MAGA follower who’s amassed more than 45,000 followers, decried House Republicans for not making good on one of the party’s key platforms.

“I have yet to see a House Republican try to support some meaningful budget cuts,” they wrote in a social media post on X.

House Republicans have long championed reigning in federal spending and reducing federal debt. However, Republicans, despite having the majority in Congress, voted to increase the federal deficit this year with their support of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which is projected to increase the federal debt by at least $3.3 trillion over 10 years.

While MAGA and conservative critics dogpiled the House GOP by the dozens, the backlash was so severe that a GOP candidate and Mississippi’s Republican secretary of state could be seen joining in on dogging House Republicans.

“So cut Federal Government Spending and allow us to keep more of our money,” wrote Nick Polce, a Republican candidate for Wisconsin lieutenant governor. “You control the house yet the spending increases YoY. Less posting. More action.”

In response to the House Republicans’ online post, Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson simply stated: “great talking point. Maybe pile up some results?”

President Donald Trump’s second-term fixation on retribution may soon turn inward, with analysts warning that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles could become the next target after publicly undercutting him in recent interviews. On their Court of History podcast, historians Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz argued that Wiles’ remarks to Vanity Fair — including describing Trump as having an “alcoholic personality” and acknowledging that investigations of his enemies were driven by revenge — amounted to a public humiliation Trump is unlikely to forgive. While his vendettas have so far focused on outside foes like James Comey, Letitia James, and Adam Schiff, Blumenthal suggested Trump “never lets a humiliation go to waste” and may seek to force Wiles out as part of an escalating pattern of internal purges amid growing turmoil in his administration.

Trump’s revenge tour heads inside White House after aide ‘humiliates’ him: analysts

With Donald Trump reportedly acknowledging to his inner circle that an unconstitutional third term is unlikely, attention has shifted to Vice President JD Vance, who has positioned himself as a potential successor without formally announcing his candidacy.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Trump has repeatedly told White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles that a third term "isn't possible," but has refrained from giving Vance a definitive endorsement to inherit the MAGA mantle.

CNN's Harry Enten reported Monday that betting markets favor Vance in an unsettled field. The vice president maintains a substantial lead in New Hampshire polling. However, the New Republic's Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling noted that Vance faces significant national favorability challenges — a concerning development for Republicans.

While Talking Point USA, now led by Charlie Kirk's widow Erika, has pledged to support Vance and endorsed him a week ago, polling data suggests limited enthusiasm for his candidacy. Quinlan Houghtaling of The New Republic observed, "no one seems to like him."

A CNN poll conducted earlier this month found that only 22 percent of Republicans support Vance's presidential bid. Respondents cited his intelligence as a potential asset and his likelihood of continuing Trump's agenda as factors in his favor.

Despite his status as the presumptive frontrunner after nearly a year auditioning as Trump's successor, Vance's favorability does not translate to electability. A striking 64 percent of those polled indicated they currently have "no one specific in mind" as their preferred candidate.

Adding to Vance's challenges, longtime Trump confidant Steve Bannon appears to be mounting a campaign against the vice president, telling his followers that Vance is "not tough enough" for the presidency.
