Ex-Trump staffer lashes out at ‘Kuck Brothers’ after the billionaires denounce president’s trade war

The open battle between the White House and the billionaire Koch brothers escalated further on Tuesday when former Donald Trump campaign advisor Sam Nunberg insulted the billionaire heirs.

“The Kuck Brothers (sic) better check themselves before they wreck themselves & get with the Donald Trump White House – punks,” Nunberg tweeted.


Trump's tweets about the Kochs:

The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade. 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. 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!

richer with his tax cuts and deregulation.

Dems really, really must use these tweets in their ads and their public comments.

neither. Don't fuck with the rich's "extreme profits". Greed and power is their bread and butter. Shithole is messing with tariffs and other things that the super rich cherish.

Loyalty means money, lots of money and power. Billionaires will have him for breakfast. Shithole has pissed off the IC's as well. Middle America doesn't like him either. t-rump is the worst person in the WH . . . . . . . .EVER.

Is he doing that to appease the Koch's? Is this so-called feud between Trump and the Koch's just an act - a sham? Are they playing us?
