President Donald Trump shared an angry influencer's tirade against his own party this week, posting a curse-laden message to his Truth Social account that accuses congressional Republicans of failing to deliver his agenda and drifting toward a midterm reckoning.
The message, written by former nuclear scientist turned conservative influencer Matt Van Swol, landed on Trump's Truth Social feed with no comment of his own attached. Van Swol's post took direct aim at the GOP, arguing that even politically disengaged voters have turned on the party.
"I don't think the GOP fully grasp how badly they are f---ing up right now," he wrote on X. I'm talking to people who normally have ZERO interest in politics who are legitimately p---ed off. They are not seeing the major reform they thought would happen and are REALLY MAD about it."
"I'm very worried the GOP is sleepwalking toward a midterm reckoning they don't see coming," Van Swol added.
His post ran through a list of grievances familiar to the MAGA base, such as a perceived failure to mass deport, no meaningful cuts to the deficit, and legislation that stalled out.
"Where is the SAVE ACT?" he asked, referencing the non-citizen voting measure that Senate Republicans left unpassed before adjourning for a five-week recess. He also pressed on bills that clear the House only to "disappear in the Senate."
Van Swol leaned on a complaint Trump himself has railed over.
"People are p---ed off that they voted Trump into office and then the GOP continues to slow-walk every reform people want," he wrote.
The anger tracks with tensions Republicans have aired publicly, with one senator predicting the party could lose seats in November amid infighting with the White House.
Trump has worked to steer that frustration away from himself. "They're angry at Republicans," he said last week when asked about voter anger. "But they're not angry at me."
Van Swol warned Republicans in Congress would "discover that frustration has consequences."
