Though many of former President Donald Trump's supporters are unflinchingly loyal and defiantly vocal, Trump was a historically unpopular President. His average approval rating never rose above 50 percent. He was impeached twice. He's one of only 10 American Presidents to ever lose reelection.

Trump has been embraced by most of the Republican party, but he's not without his Republican critics. He was opposed by the likes of the late Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona, Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming, Republican Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, and others.


While most of these reasons were made out of moral umbrage at Trump's character, Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana—who frequently voted in line with Trump's agenda—has a much simpler, more blunt reason for opposing Trump if he runs in 2024.

Watch below.

Cassidy told Axios:

"President Trump is the first president, in the Republican side at least, to lose the House, the Senate and the presidency in four years. Elections are about winning. ... If you want to win the presidency, and hopefully that's what voters are thinking about, I think he might [lose the Republican nomination]."

Back in January, the Senator didn't vote in favor of overturning election results in swing states Trump lost. He also voted to convict Trump in his second Senate impeachment trial for inciting an insurrection, so Cassidy has by no means been a favorite of Trump's.

But his most recent comments sent Trump into a familiar rage.

Trump wrote:

"Wacky Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana is a RINO Republican who begged for my endorsement in 2020 and used it all over the place to win re-election, much like Little Ben Sasse, and then voted to impeach your favorite President...Now, Wacky Bill Cassidy can't walk down the street in Louisiana, a State I won by almost 20 points. He could not even be elected dog catcher today, the great people curse him."

People weren't receptive to the former President's smears.




And Trump's claim to be America's "favorite" President was particularly absurd.




Trump has yet to publicly confirm whether he'll be running in 2024.

MAGA Candidate's Tone-Deaf Advice For How To Save On Rising Gas Costs Comes Back To Bite Her

Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate and former NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya was criticized after her past remarks about how Americans can make their gas go further amid rising fuel costs—namely by buying less Starbucks—resurfaced after her primary win.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

Marco Rubio Just Tried To Claim That 'American Citizenship Is Not For Sale'—And Everyone Had The Same Response

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was called out after trying to claim on X that "American citizenship is not for sale," even though the Trump administration offers a route toward citizenship in exchange for a large financial contribution.

Birthright citizenship is a legal concept that grants citizenship automatically at birth. It exists in two forms: ancestry-based citizenship and birthplace-based citizenship. The latter, known as jus soli, a Latin term meaning "right of the soil," grants citizenship based on the location of birth.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
