‘I am withdrawing my endorsement’: Donald Trump revokes support for GOP congressman after dust Up

Donald Trump recently spoke at the Detroit Economic Club in Michigan, and around the same time he made it clear he was very upset about a decision by the Supreme Court.

The court had ruled against one of his key tariff policies, limiting his ability to place new tariffs the way he wanted. Trump strongly disagreed with the ruling and publicly criticized the justices who voted against him. He described his tariff policies as a big success and said they had made the country richer and stronger.

Not long after criticizing the court, Trump also took action within his own political party. Over the weekend, he posted a long message on Truth Social announcing that he was taking back his endorsement of Republican Congressman Jeff Hurd, who represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District. Instead of supporting Hurd, Trump said he would now back a new candidate, Hope Scheppelman, to replace him.

In his message, Trump said he felt Hurd had not supported him strongly enough, especially on the issue of tariffs. He claimed the tariffs were working well and helping the United States stand up to other countries that he believes have taken advantage of America for many years.

Trump accused Hurd of not standing firmly behind these efforts. He suggested that Hurd was more concerned about foreign countries than about protecting American interests. Trump used the term “RINO,” which stands for “Republican In Name Only,” to describe Hurd. This term is often used by Trump and his supporters to criticize Republicans they feel are not loyal to his policies.

Trump also explained that taking back an endorsement is not something he does often. He said he has only done it once before. He mentioned former Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks as an example. Trump had once supported Brooks in a Senate race, but later withdrew his endorsement after Brooks adjusted his position on the 2020 election.

Brooks eventually lost that race to Katie Britt, whom Trump later supported. By bringing this up, Trump seemed to show that he believes loyalty to his views is very important and that he is willing to change his support if he feels a candidate no longer aligns with him.

At the same time, Trump had very positive things to say about Hope Scheppelman. He described her as a respected critical care nurse practitioner and a veteran of the U.S. Navy. He said she understands and supports his “America First” approach.

According to Trump, Scheppelman would work hard in Congress to grow the economy, reduce taxes, cut regulations, and support American farmers and ranchers. He also said she would promote American-made products, strengthen energy production within the United States, secure the southern border, prevent crime involving migrants, protect gun rights under the Second Amendment, and support the military and veterans.

Trump’s message was direct and emotional. He made it clear that he felt disappointed and let down by Jeff Hurd. He ended by saying that Scheppelman had his “complete and total endorsement” and that, unlike Hurd, she would not disappoint voters.

Overall, the situation shows how strongly Trump reacts when he feels his policies are challenged, whether by the Supreme Court or by members of his own party. It also highlights how important loyalty and public support for his agenda are to him, especially on major issues like trade and tariffs.
