During a recent meeting with Republican House members, former President Donald Trump touched on a variety of topics, showcasing his typical brash and outspoken style.
Trump began by praising House Majority Leader Steve Scalise for his courage following the 2017 shooting at the Congressional baseball game. He remarked on Scalise's wife's devotion, noting that not all spouses would show the same level of care.
Trump then shifted gears to discuss his proposed 'no tax on tips' plan, highlighting his policy priorities.
Expanding on his political ambitions, Trump revealed plans to target electoral battleground states such as New Mexico, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Virginia. He also took aim at the Department of Justice, labeling them as 'dirty no-good bastards.'
Engaging in some playful banter, Trump urged Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to be cordial to Speaker Mike Johnson, despite Greene's previous attempts to remove Johnson from his position.
Transitioning to a more critical tone, Trump proceeded to impersonate President Joe Biden while outlining differences between their economic policies.
Turning his attention to internal party dynamics, Trump criticized Republican California Rep. David Valadao for his vote to impeach him. He boasted about the dwindling number of 'impeachers' within the House GOP and took jabs at former Representatives Tom Rice and Liz Cheney.
The meeting provided a glimpse into Trump's unfiltered and confrontational approach to politics, showcasing his willingness to challenge both allies and adversaries within the Republican Party.
