President Donald Trump has officially had enough of Republican “leaders” who refuse to lead. And this week, he unloaded—three separate times—on one of the worst offenders in the country: Indiana State Senator Rodric Bray, a man Trump says is sabotaging GOP chances in the 2026 midterms.
At the center of the firestorm is a stunning betrayal. Indiana—one of the reddest states in America—has the opportunity to redraw congressional lines in a way that would *easily* add two more Republican seats to the U.S. House. In a narrow Congress where Democrats are clawing for relevance, those two seats could decide control.
Yet Bray, who calls himself a Republican, is refusing to do it.
Trump isn’t letting that treachery slide. On November 18, he unleashed a three-part takedown on Truth Social that lit up conservative media.
In his first volley, Trump reminded Indiana Republicans that he carried the state “in a landslide, the most votes ever gotten in the State.” He praised Governor Mike Braun as “a good man”—but made it crystal clear that the governor must deliver results on redistricting or face embarrassment as the only governor in America who failed to do so.
Then came the heat.
“A RINO State Senator, Rodric Bray,” Trump wrote, “who doesn’t care about keeping the Majority in the House in D.C., is the primary problem. Soon, he will have a Primary Problem, as will any other politician who supports him in this stupidity.”
Message received.
But Trump wasn’t done. Hours later, he released a second statement, this time blasting Bray as the *only* lawmaker in the entire country—Republican or Democrat—standing in the way of redistricting that would strengthen his own party.
“In the entire United States of America,” Trump wrote, “only Indiana ‘Republican’ State Senator Rod Bray…is opposed to redistricting for purposes of gaining additional Seats in Congress.”
Trump added that Democrats will “lie, cheat, and steal” when it comes to elections, and that Republicans must “be TOUGH and SMART” if they want to win in 2026. Bray, he said, is neither.
“The Rod Brays of Politics are WEAK and PATHETIC,” Trump said. “I wish he cared about saving our Country as much as Democrats care about destroying it.”
It was a stinging rebuke—and deserved.
In his final post of the day, Trump delivered the knockout punch: primary challengers are already lining up. And according to Trump, every single RINO who stands with Bray “will lose, in Record Numbers.”
Trump’s message to Indiana was unmistakable: **You either fight with MAGA—or you get run over.**
Grassroots conservatives have echoed Trump’s fury, pointing out that if deep-blue states like California can openly carve out more Democrat seats, there is zero excuse for Indiana Republicans to refuse similar action. Instead, Bray is insisting on playing polite while Democrats play for power.
Trump and MAGA aren’t having it.
Indiana voters now face a choice: back courageous conservatives willing to fight for the country—or stick with the old “nice guy” Republicanism that loses.
Trump has already made his choice clear.
And for RINOs like Rodric Bray, the primaries may be coming sooner—and harder—than they ever expected.
