I like a lot of what Trump is doing (though I don't particularly care for any efforts that continue to send money overseas). I like a lot of what Massie says and that he seems very "America First"-oriented. Even JD Vance in much of his public rhetoric/talking points seems to sympathize with American fatigue with foreign aid.
So... what the heck is the deal with Trump vs. Massie? I've even heard that Pete Heg. is opting to help campaign against Massie (which is illegal, I think)?
Is Massie secretly Hitler or something? Please help me understand this.
Just scroll down the headlines; you'll see. He's all hat, no cattle.

Big one recently was to vote against Operation Epic Fury. (Autocorrect really wanted Operation Epic Furry, which might have gotten his support...) But there were a few others before that.
His reasoning for that was grounded in the condition. If America needs to do to war, fine, but do it the right way. Inform congress, get a vote to go to war, then act. Calling it a "military maneuver" just sounds like a paper-thin excuse to do whatever the heck you want regardless of what the constitution requires.
I just picked one of the recent ones where he went against Trump; there's a bunch more. Just go down the list. All of them have reasonable-sounding arguments, but all of them go against strong Trump policies. That's what the beef is about: on big issues Massie has frequently sided against Trump. Of course he makes it sound principled: he's a politician. But the voting record is what counts, and Trump doesn't like it
