Thom Tillis Lashed Out at Trump in Private Texts
The messages show Tillis rejecting Trump’s threats and saying he would have quit immediately if challenged directly.
- Politico Playbook published screenshots Thursday of profanity-laced private texts from retiring Senator Thom Tillis to President Donald Trump, revealing a deep rift featured in Tillis's forthcoming memoir, 'How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents,' out next week.
- The exchange began May 22 after President Trump posted on Truth Social calling Tillis 'weak and ineffective' and a 'Nitpicker.' Tillis responded, 'I don't take this bullsh*t from anyone,' emphasizing concern for the administration's success.
- In a June 6 message, Tillis insisted Trump never threatened him with a primary, writing, 'If you had ever threatened me directly with a primary, I would have immediately told you to f--- yourself.' He warned to save 'head games' for cowards.
- President Trump later characterized the senator as 'a loser' and 'just an angry man' who lacked presidential support, escalating the feud that began after Tillis announced his retirement in June 2025 over tax and spending disputes.
- Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, has emerged as a vocal critic of the administration on issues ranging from the Iran war to Homeland Security appointments. His book offers a 'no-holds-barred look' at the political environment surrounding the current administration.
