This weekend, Donald Trump picked a fight with two Republicans in Congress and lost.
The president has reportedly been apoplectic about a House vote, which could come as soon as Tuesday, ordering the Justice Department to release its files on the sex-trafficking financier Jeffrey Epstein. On Friday Trump attacked Thomas Massie, the eccentric conservative who, along with the California Democrat Ro Khanna, spearheaded a maneuver to bypass House leadership and force the Epstein measure to the floor. Massieโs wife of three decades died unexpectedly last year, and on social media, Trump mocked him for remarrying. โBoy, that was quick!โ he wrote, adding, โHis wife will soon find out that sheโs stuck with a LOSER!โ
