President Donald Trump claimed in a Truth Social message on Sunday night that the Republican party was bigger and more united than ever, calling out a few "lowlifes" who are making it seem more divided than it actually is.
The party has "never been so UNITED AS IT iS RIGHT NOW!" Trump posted.
"Other than Rand Paul, Rand Paul Jr.(Massie!), Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, and a couple of other ‘lowlifes,’ and other than the fact that many want the Election threatening Filibuster TERMINATED (the Dems will do it in the first minute of their first chance!), and some don’t, there is great spirit and cohesion," he continued.
Of course, there is some division in the GOP because it's virtually impossible to get hundreds of nationwide legislators to be in lockstep at all times.
I would argue strongly that different views and vigorous debate make the party better than having a bunch of yes-men (and women) who just agree with the leader and don't think for themselves.
Most people don't totally agree with any one person's views, so I think they get it when they see Republicans debating on issues. It would be nice if they could be respectful, but that doesn't get media attention so it is becoming more rare.
In my opinion, the amount of differing opinions in the GOP has given it an advantage over Democrats in recent years, even though it is sometimes difficult to deal with (like the House Speaker race the last couple times).
Trump also bragged about the size of the GOP since he first ran for president in 2015.
"Many Millions More Members!" Trump wrote. "We now have the Strongest Border EVER, Biggest Tax Cuts, the Best Economy, Highest Stock Market in USA History, and sooo much more."
He added, "BUT, THE BEST IS YET TO COME! VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!"
Trump is right here; the GOP has grown under his leadership.
That only leads to more diverse opinions, but that's part of the bigger tent and ultimately is good for the party.
Trump doesn't like diversity; he wants everyone to agree with him and I get it, but it's healthy and needs to happen.
Recently though, he has shown the ability to reconcile after having a spat with someone (i.e. Elon Musk and MTG, for a few examples), which is a welcome development as far as I'm concerned.
"I can patch up differences with anyone," he said when asked about Greene.
