President Trump ripped the Koch brothers one day after the political network formed by the billionaire conservative businessmen said it would not support a Republican Senate candidate in North Dakota.

"The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade," Trump said in a series of tweets early Tuesday.

"I never sought their support because I don't need their money or bad ideas. They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks & more. I made them richer. Their network is highly overrated, I have beaten them at every turn," he added.

"They want to protect their companies outside the U.S. from being taxed, I'm for America First & the American Worker - a puppet for no one. Two nice guys with bad ideas. Make America Great Again!"

Interesting. It is really becoming the party of Trump

Globalist is a racial slur.

This is probably a fight he shouldn't pick...

They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks & more. I made them richer.

Another prime example of Republicans outing themselves. Nobody notices or cares.

He is pretty good with those kind of moves.

People said the same thing when I called out Cerium for not providing snacks and Ecto Cooler Hi-C

Relix · Jul 31, 2018

Of all the fights he shouldn't have picked, that's a big one.

PeskyToaster · Jul 31, 2018

I thought this was going to be one of those aides reporting on private meetings things but nope, just tweeted out there.

Gouty · Jul 31, 2018

I love how he openly admits his policies have made the ultra wealthy even richer, to the point he's owed something. They'd have torched the White House if Obama ever said anything like that.

Am_I_Evil · Jul 31, 2018

So he's finally admitting the tax cuts help the wealthy? Wasn't he always fighting that, saying how he'd pay more, etc....

Says the guy who imports foreign labor for his U.S. properties and makes his branded goods in China.

ahoyhoy · Jul 31, 2018

I mean, he's right.

Trump has gotten away with all this shit without the explicit blessing of so many big name conservative groups out there. No reason to think they'll be willing or able to confront him in a meaningful way.

They'll just be happy laying low and reaping the benefit of the tax cuts.

Shadybiz · Jul 31, 2018

That's a bold strategy Cotton.

"Those who understand strategy are in AWE of Trump the Master right now!"

Moron.

He keeps saying Collusion is not a crime too and all that

Funky Papa · Jul 31, 2018

Back to Sloppy Steve's loving embrace, I guess.

Infinity Times Two · Jul 31, 2018

He's not even trying to hide the fact that the tax cut was to transfer wealth to the top 1%. "I made them richer".

Right in front of your eyes.

Key words that Trump will always use when a powerful figure go against anything Trump says/does.

This man is an absolute joke.

BUT...I do appreciate his reiteration of 'no puppet' because, you know, no need to mention. :lol

After yesterday it should be pretty obvious that something definitive is coming with the change in narrative.

They have turned on one another.

When they start fighting amongst themselves it means they have less 'resources' to wage battles on other fronts which is exactly what they don't want going into the midterms.

My thoughts exactly.

Rosejamie95 · Jul 31, 2018

I don't care the Koch brothers are fucking neo cons.

FeliciaFelix · Jul 31, 2018

I legit never understood the Koch endgame. Trump made them richer, what else do they want?

Slayven · Jul 31, 2018

Frozenprince · Jul 31, 2018

This is bad news. This means that the party is trying, and might even succeed, in bulwarking the usual swing from the opposition that comes when they take power in mid-terms.

Trump becoming the new GOP brand should scare everybody.

Dennis8K · Jul 31, 2018

Lock them up!

ReginOfFire · Jul 31, 2018

Arent these guys big supporter of him?

Daaamn. This is good.

Deleted member 442 · Jul 31, 2018

Interestingly enough Heidi Heitkamp; the democratic candidate that the Koch brothers are supporting, has consistently voted in line with Trump's policies.

Dennis8K · Jul 31, 2018

"See, he is a man of the people, fighting the globalists like that even why they tried to buy him off"

Tex Murphy · Jul 31, 2018

So I guess we can assume Fox & Friends was discussing the Kochs is some fashion this morning.

Deleted member 12790 · Jul 31, 2018

I assume he forgot the parentheses around koch bros in his tweets?

apocat · Jul 31, 2018

Well this should be entertaining.

Let them fight. If the Koch brothers get upset enough I could see them bankrolling a third party candidate.

BWoog · Jul 31, 2018

Well if ever there was a move that I thought would legit get Trump impeached, this is it.

Probably not? Didn't they announce they were getting out of politics anyway (so there's not really a bridge to burn).

aerie · Jul 31, 2018

This is almost too much, I've not even had a coffee yet.

The Kochs are one of the most central backers of the entire GOP.
