‘Totally Unhinged': Trump Ripped After Bizarre Attack On Lawmaker's ‘Ugly Face'
He also said Raskin has an 'ugly face.'
Trump's tirade came shortly after Raskin appeared on MSNBC, where he spoke about a report indicating that the president wasn't aware that his signature 'big, beautiful bill' would cut Medicaid until a Republican lawmaker pointed it out to him earlier in the day.
Raskin said there's a lot of discussion on the floor of the House over just how much Trump knows about his own bill and whether he's 'out of it.'
Yet most GOP lawmakers support the bill anyway, even those who aren't happy with it themselves.
'All of these people have gotten in line despite their own misgivings because Trump is leading the way ― but Trump might not even understand what's in the bill,' Raskin said. 'So it's a very dangerous moment when you think about what democracy is, and it doesn't speak well for what has become of the Republican Party.'
Yet not everyone in the Republican caucus has backed the bill, and as a key vote stalled late Wednesday, Trump attacked Raskin on Truth Social:
Raskin brushed it off during an interview on MSNBC.
'I suppose I don't mind being called a loser several times by Donald Trump, given that he's our only president who has lost the popular vote for president in two different elections,' he told Lawrence O'Donnell. 'And the last time, when he lost by more than 7 million votes to Joe Biden, it upset him so much that he incited an insurrection against the Constitution, against his own vice president, and against the Congress of the United States.'
He also had a response to Trump calling him 'ugly.'
'I suppose I don't like being called ugly by Donald Trump, but not everybody can live up to his exquisite levels of handsomeness and personal physical grace,' he said.
Trump's critics on X also fired back at the president:

Just a really disturbed person. Media has normalized his insanity to a ridiculous degree. This (and most of what he does) is not normal. healthy human behavior. https://t.co/dvM43o4mvH

Can you remember another time in modern American history where the president of the country attacked an opponent of his for his 'ugly face'? (Also, do you remember when Republicans with clutch their pearls about civility and etiquette?) https://t.co/sA106MoiUg

Trump is projecting — again. No world leader speaks about their own officials with such venom. His unhinged rants aren't strength, they're a warning sign.This isn't leadership. It's emotional instability wrapped in delusion. America deserves better.

When you point your finger at someone else, you point three fingers at yourself. Jesus said to 'love your neighbor as yourself.' Hard, isn't it, Mr. President? Cong. Raskin is a Constitutional expert, the real reason you attack/resent him. @realDonaldTrumphttps://t.co/cmN2FkEUdt

.@RepRaskin is one of the smartest, kindest, most principled leaders we have - and he has continued to lead through some of the most profound loss a human being can endure. Unlike those who are clinging to cruelty, ego and self interest right now - he has never lost his compass. https://t.co/vA74MeqtNK

Jamie Raskin would eat Donald Trump for lunch in a debate. Raskin is a constitutional lawyer who has taught constitutional law for over 25 years.

Trump's tirade isn't just petty—it's part of a pattern. His rhetoric leans hard into violence, personal attacks, and sugar-coated distortions dressed up as 'truth.' Political scientists have tracked a sharp rise in his use of violent language over the years, often rivaling…

Fox News Host Hits Republican Lawmakers With A Blunt Election Warning
Republican lawmakers on Thursday were in a jubilant mood as they marked the passage of President Donald Trump's signature 'big beautiful bill.' But Fox News host Jessica Tarlov said some of them might not be celebrating next year, when they could face unexpectedly early retirement. Polls show the bill ― which adds trillions to the debt, cuts taxes for the wealthy, and slashes Medicaid ― is deeply unpopular with the American public. With midterm elections looming in 2026, Tarlov ― a rotating co-host of 'The Five' ― wrote on X that moderate Republicans in particular will be at risk next year: By voting for this budget bill, many moderate Republicans are ensuring their retirement will come earlier than expected. — Jessica Tarlov (@JessicaTarlov) July 3, 2025 The bill is so unpopular that CNN data chief Harry Enten earlier this week showed it was underwater in five recent polls by between 19 and 29 percentage points. 'The American public at this particular point hate, hate, hate the 'big, beautiful bill,'' he said. 'As far as they're concerned, it's not a 'big, beautiful bill,' it's a big, bad bill.' Democrats also believe that Republicans who support the bill will pay the price at the polls next year. 'There are House Republicans now, this morning, who are about to sign their political obituary with this vote,' Representative Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) told Reuters before the final votes were cast. 'They are literally walking the plank for Donald Trump.' The party that wins the White House often suffers in the midterm elections that follow. Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews expects that to be the case next year, as well, and said the passage of the bill won't make things any easier for Republicans. He estimated that Democrats could pick up between 15 and 20 seats ― more than enough to win control of the House.

Trump deployed the language while touting the impacts of his signature legislation that had just passed Congress hours earlier.

4 ways Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' could impact your wallet
The "Big Beautiful Bill" is headed to President Donald Trump's desk. It includes a repeal of student loan forgiveness and an increased child tax credit. It also includes new "Trump accounts" and changes to Medicaid and SNAP. From taxes to student loan forgiveness, provisions in President Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will soon be impacting Americans' wallets. On Thursday, the House passed the final version of the bill, which would extend the president's 2017 tax cuts and make key changes to the tax system, along with implementing significant changes to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Beyond the effects on Americans' wallets, the legislation provides roughly $150 billion to ramp up immigration enforcement. The bill first passed the House in May before undergoing changes in the Senate, where it narrowly passed on Tuesday. Trump could sign the bill into law as soon as Friday, July 4. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the bill would add at least $3.3 trillion to the US deficit. In May, Moody's Analytics downgraded the US's credit rating last week, citing rising federal debt. It said an extension of Trump's 2017 taxes could add $4 trillion to the deficit over the next decade. This could lead to higher interest rates on mortgages, auto loans, and more down the road. Here are four other key ways the tax bill could affect Americans' finances. Many of Trump's campaign promises are included in the tax bill. The legislation would eliminate taxes on tips and overtime wages. About two-thirds of tipped workers earn enough to owe federal income tax. After a final bill is signed, the Trump administration will release a list of qualifying occupations. The Senate bill includes a $6,000 tax deduction for older people making less than $75,000 a year ($150,000 for couples). Seniors making above that threshold would see a decreasing deduction until hitting a cap of $175,000 ($250,000 for couples.) Lower-income seniors likely won't benefit from the deduction. The provision is how lawmakers are trying to fulfill Trump's promise to end taxes on Social Security payments. The deduction would run through 2028. Another provision would permanently raise the child tax credit to $2,200. Additionally, it would eliminate electric vehicle tax credits after September. It also proposes ending tax credits for homeowners to install solar panels or energy-efficient heat pumps and incentives for new energy-efficient homes and home weatherization projects by the end of this year. The bill would also make Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanent and increase the state and local tax deduction, known as SALT, from $10,000 to $40,000 in 2025, $40,400 in 2026, and increase an additional 1% every year through 2029 before reverting to $10,000 in 2030. Lifting the SALT cap allows wealthy taxpayers in states and cities with high taxes to claim a bigger federal deduction, and the cap is something some Republican lawmakers have sought to raise or eliminate. Under the Senate bill, millions of student loan borrowers would see their repayment options change. The legislation proposes eliminating existing income-driven repayment plans and replacing them with two options: the Repayment Assistance Plan and a standard repayment plan. The Repayment Assistance Plan would allow for loan forgiveness after 360 qualifying payments based on the borrowers' income, while the standard repayment plan would require a fixed monthly payment over a period set by the servicer. The bill also would repeal former President Joe Biden's SAVE plan, an income-driven repayment plan that promised cheaper monthly payments and a shorter timeline for debt relief. The plan is blocked in court pending a final legal decision. If the bill passes, parents could get extra money for their kids down the line. The tax bill includes a "Trump account," previously called a "money account for growth and advancement," or MAGA account. The government would put $1,000 into accounts for babies born after December 31, 2024, and before January 1, 2029. The baby would be required to have been born in the US and have a Social Security number to receive the cash. The money would need to be invested in a qualified index fund and can't be touched until the child turns 18. Parents and others could contribute up to $5,000 a year to each account. The accounts would have tax incentives; earnings would be tax-deferred, meaning taxes on the accounts would not need to be paid right away. Withdrawals from the accounts would also be taxed at the long-term capital-gains rate, which is dependent on income and typically lower than the regular income tax rate. Lower-income Americans could face bigger healthcare costs or lose federal assistance benefits. The tax bill would mean significant changes for the millions who rely on Medicaid and SNAP. The legislation would mandate that states implement an 80-hour-a-month work requirement by the end of 2026 for childless adults on Medicaid without a disability. The Congressional Budget Office previously estimated that work requirements on Medicaid could strip coverage from over 8 million Americans over the next decade. Additionally, the bill would extend the age range of adults subject to work requirements to receive SNAP to include adults ages 55 to 64. Currently, adults ages 18 to 54 without children can receive SNAP benefits only if they work at least 20 hours a week.
