Donald Trump was seen hitting the links in Florida amidst a full-blown MAGA dispute that has the president at odds with members of his own party.
Trump made his first public appearance of the 2026 midterm campaign season for a round of golf, following a string of Republican losses earlier this month. The 79-year-old was spotted at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach on Saturday, participating in a fundraising golf tournament to bolster the re-election campaign of Sen. Lindsey Graham.
“What a great day playing golf with President Trump! So much fun today at the Trump Graham Golf Classic, that will benefit the Republican cause greatly,” the South Carolina Senator posted on X, along with a photo of himself and the president. “President @realDonaldTrump was very generous with his time and I appreciate all who made this hugely successful. Thank you, Mr. President,” he added.

Trump’s golf outing comes as tensions rise within the MAGA community after Trump lashed out at fellow Republicans Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene in a dramatic fallout on his Truth Social account.

Many MAGA supporters were incensed by Trump’s golfing excursion in the aftermath of the GOP schism. “He still won’t love you back. He will use you and throw you away like MGT,” one individual replied to Lindsey’s post.
One person questioned: “He attacks @RepThomasMassie, then plays golf with you?” Another added: “Don’t be too flattered, Graham; Trump is attending to his minions to keep them loyal as the heat ramps up.”
Joe Gruters, chairman of the Republican National Committee, also participated in the third annual “Trump-Graham Classic” golf tournament.
“Beautiful day to be on the course with President Trump!” he posted on X alongside a photo of himself and the president giving a thumbs up.

“Two idiots golfing their way to another Blue Wave. I miss competent, serious people,” one X user replied.
Another commented: “You are a damn embarrassment. The party is literally fracturing, the economy is a mess and you are on the golf course. Not one damn cent to the GOP or state party. Not one damn cent.”
A third posted: “Trump is a sellout and a disgrace. Ran on America First, enacted Israel First.” Another asked: “Taking care of damage control?”
Trump was seen holding a microphone at the event, while video also showed him surrounded by several men, some wearing MAGA hats.
On Friday, Trump ridiculed Massie, who has persistently demanded the president release additional files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, for remarrying after his wife’s death last year.
“Did Thomas Massie, sometimes referred to as Rand Paul Jr., because of the fact that he always votes against the Republican Party, get married already? ? ? Boy, that was quick!” Trump posted.

“No wonder the Polls have him at less than an 8% chance of winning the Election,” he continued. “Anyway, have a great life Thomas and (? ). His wife will soon find out that she’s stuck with a LOSER!”.
In his subsequent post, Trump turned his attention to Greene. Despite her previously being among his most loyal supporters, the president labeled Greene a “ranting lunatic” in a nearly 300-word tirade about the Georgia Congresswoman.
“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia,” Trump declared, claiming that Greene had “gone far left”. He added: “All I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”.
In another post targeting both Massie and Greene, Trump mockingly referred to the latter as “Marjorie Taylor Brown”, stating: “Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green grass turns Brown when it begins to ROT! ), betrayed the entire Republican Party when she turned Left, performed poorly on the pathetic View, and became the RINO that we all know she always was.

“Just another Fake politician, no different than Rand Paul Jr. (Thomas Massie), who got caught being a full fledged Republican In Name Only (RINO)! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! ! !”
Trump’s rage persisted as he posted: “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Green is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!” The president’s harsh critique of Greene came just hours after she stated in an interview that his decision not to disclose additional documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is “insanely the wrong direction to go”.
“I remain America First and America Only,” Greene retorted in response to Trump’s remarks. “I have supported President Trump with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him,” she wrote.
“But I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump,” Greene continued. “I worship God, Jesus is my savior, and I serve my district GA14 and the American people.”
