Inside Trump’s Festering Grudge Against Sen. Jon Tester

NOTUS reports:

Trump’s grudge against Tester goes back to 2018. Back then, Tester, the top Democrat on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, opposed Trump’s nominee to run the Department of Veterans Affairs. The pick — then-White House physician Ronny Jackson — faced allegations that he inappropriately prescribed pain medication and created a toxic work environment. (An Inspector General report later substantiated those claims.)

Jackson withdrew his candidacy. A livid Trump blamed Tester and called on the senator to resign. And then, when that failed, the former president fought to oust him. Trump rallied in Montana four times that election cycle to topple the well-liked farmer turned lawmaker. Mike Pence and Donald Trump Jr. each made multiple trips to Big Sky Country to boost Tester’s opponent, Rep. Matt Rosendale. Tester won by three and a half percentage points anyway.

Read the full article. Trump will rally tonight in Montana, a state he easily won in 2016 and 2020, primarily to boost the candidacy of Tester’s challenger, Tim “Stolen Valor” Sheehy. Ronny Jackson will be with him. And as noted below, Trump still hasn’t paid for his last visit to Montana. Fascinating piece above. Hit the link.
