‘Totally Unhinged': Trump Ripped After Bizarre Attack On Lawmaker's ‘Ugly Face'
President Donald Trump on Wednesday launched a wild attack on Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), calling the lawmaker a 'DOPE,' 'TOTAL LOSER,' and a 'bad politician.' He also said Raskin has an 'ugly face.' Trump's tirade came shortly after Raskin appeared on MSNBC, where he spoke about a report indicating that the president wasn't aware that his signature 'big, beautiful bill' would cut Medicaid until a Republican lawmaker pointed it out to him earlier in the day. Raskin said there's a lot of discussion on the floor of the House over just how much Trump knows about his own bill and whether he's 'out of it.' Yet most GOP lawmakers support the bill anyway, even those who aren't happy with it themselves. 'All of these people have gotten in line despite their own misgivings because Trump is leading the way ― but Trump might not even understand what's in the bill,' Raskin said. 'So it's a very dangerous moment when you think about what democracy is, and it doesn't speak well for what has become of the Republican Party.' Yet not everyone in the Republican caucus has backed the bill, and as a key vote stalled late Wednesday, Trump attacked Raskin on Truth Social: Raskin brushed it off during an interview on MSNBC. 'I suppose I don't mind being called a loser several times by Donald Trump, given that he's our only president who has lost the popular vote for president in two different elections,' he told Lawrence O'Donnell. 'And the last time, when he lost by more than 7 million votes to Joe Biden, it upset him so much that he incited an insurrection against the Constitution, against his own vice president, and against the Congress of the United States.' He also had a response to Trump calling him 'ugly.' 'I suppose I don't like being called ugly by Donald Trump, but not everybody can live up to his exquisite levels of handsomeness and personal physical grace,' he said. Trump's critics on X also fired back at the president: House Republicans Hold Out Against Trump Tax Bill For Hours, Then Cave Big, Blundering Typo Kicked Off Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Meeting With GOP Rep.

Media has normalized his insanity to a ridiculous degree. This (and most of what he does) is not normal. healthy human behavior. — Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 (@Wilson__Valdez) July 3, 2025 Can you remember another time in modern American history where the president of the country attacked an opponent of his for his 'ugly face'? (Also, do you remember when Republicans with clutch their pearls about civility and etiquette?) — Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) July 3, 2025 MAGA is a movement by jerks, for jerks — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 3, 2025 Trump is projecting — again. No world leader speaks about their own officials with such venom. His unhinged rants aren't strength, they're a warning isn't leadership. It's emotional instability wrapped in delusion. America deserves better. — Shahn Khalfan (@ShahnKhalfan) July 3, 2025 When you point your finger at someone else, you point three fingers at yourself. Jesus said to 'love your neighbor as yourself.' Hard, isn't it, Mr. President? Cong. Raskin is a Constitutional expert, the real reason you attack/resent him. @realDonaldTrumphttps:// — Representative Joy Garratt, NM HD29 (@joyousgarratt) July 3, 2025 .@RepRaskin is one of the smartest, kindest, most principled leaders we have - and he has continued to lead through some of the most profound loss a human being can endure. Unlike those who are clinging to cruelty, ego and self interest right now - he has never lost his compass. — Kyra Ellis-Moore (@KyraEllisMoore) July 3, 2025 'I love watching his ugly face.' - the president of the United States of America — Alex Jewell 🧢 (@bestfoodalex) July 3, 2025 The functional illiterate calls the constitutional scholar a dope. — Robert (@avjagfan) July 3, 2025 The walls are red with tomato based products. — The Dr. - ❤️'s Educated Women (@gatesisthedevil) July 3, 2025 Jamie Raskin would eat Donald Trump for lunch in a debate. Raskin is a constitutional lawyer who has taught constitutional law for over 25 years. — Denison Barb (@DenisonBarbs) July 3, 2025 Shame on republicans — On A Bender (@on_bender) July 3, 2025 Trump's tirade isn't just petty—it's part of a pattern. His rhetoric leans hard into violence, personal attacks, and sugar-coated distortions dressed up as 'truth.' Political scientists have tracked a sharp rise in his use of violent language over the years, often rivaling… — SleuthyFella (@SleuthyFella) July 3, 2025 — Tucker&Otis (@Tucker_and_Otis) July 3, 2025
