Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., seemingly made light of President Donald Trump repeatedly branding the maverick Republican congressman a “Rand Paul Jr.”
“In case you were wondering after five posts in ten days… I am NOT paying any rent to live there,” Massie wrote in a post on X that contained screenshots of multiple Truth Social posts in which Trump referred to the congressman as “Rand Paul Jr.,” a reference to the Republican U.S. senator from Kentucky.
Massie added the face with tears of joy emoji and joked, “BTW, the name is Ron Paul, Jr. — Rand and I were mixed up at the hospital.”

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a Massie ally who has said he will help the congressman win re-election, is the son of former Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas.
Massie made the quip hours after Trump re-issued a broadside targeting both Massie and Paul. It was the same attack Trump made in a Truth Social post last month targeting the two lawmakers.

“Whatever happened to ‘Senator’ Rand Paul? He was never great, but he went really BAD! I got him elected, TWICE (in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky!), but he just never votes positively for the Republican Party,” Trump declared in the post.
“He’s a nasty liddle’ guy, much like ‘Congressman’ Thomas Massie, aka Rand Paul Jr., also of Kentucky (which I won three times, in massive landslides!), a sick Wacko, who refuses to vote for our great Republican Party, MAGA, or America First. It’s really weird!!!” Trump added.
