Fuming Trump Lashes Out at Republican Ditching the GOP in Late-Night Tantrum [View all]

[Zorro]

The one-time Republican lieutenant governor announced he’s become a Democrat.

President Donald Trump ripped into a Georgia lawmaker who changed his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat, calling him a “total loser” in a late-night social media tirade.

After serving as Georgia’s lieutenant governor from 2019 to 2023 as a Republican, Geoff Duncan announced this week that he is switching parties and is now a Democrat.

“Failed former Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan, of Georgia, is a total loser. Was never able to get anything done, all he ever did was complain,” Trump wrote at about 1 a.m. Friday in a Truth Social post. “We didn’t want him in the Republican Party any longer, so I’m told he became a Democrat. Good riddance Geoff. You don’t even have a chance!!!”

The former Georgia state representative has been a sharp critic of the president since 2020, when Trump pressured Georgia’s Republican leaders to overturn former President Joe Biden’s victory in the state.

“Donald Trump has been running a Ponzi scheme of propaganda for the better part of a decade and it’s finally catching up to him,” Duncan told the Daily Beast in a statement. “Like most Ponzi schemes, they collapse under their own weight and this situation will be no different.”
