The Wall Street Journal's editorial board criticizes President Trump for attacking Senators Thom Tillis and Rand Paul just after securing a political win. Trump's inability to maintain political harmony is highlighted, suggesting that he often undermines his own success by hostile remarks. Tillis's retirement due to Trump's antagonism potentially shifts the Senate's balance in favor of the Democrats for the upcoming 2026 elections. The editorial emphasizes that Trump, despite securing legislative victories, seems compelled to create divisions within his party that could jeopardize future elections.
A common feature of Donald Trump's two terms as President is that he can't stand political prosperity. When events are going in his direction, he has an uncanny habit of handing his opponents a sword.
Mr. Trump dumped three different Truth Social posts on Mr. Tillis, calling him a sellout, a talker and complainer and various other insults. Clearly threatening Tillis.
