In a scathing rebuke of President Donald Trump’s<\/a> endorsement track record, former Rep. Bob Good suggested that the president’s picks would be better used to know which candidates not to support in election contests.<\/p>\n

“Truth\u2026face it\u2026Trump IS the problem\u2026not his advisors (that he picks because they say nice things about him on TV)\u2026Trump himself\u2026you would literally do better by using Trump\u2019s endorsement to know who NOT to vote for,” the former lawmaker wrote on X<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Good has personal experience running against a Trump-backed opponent.<\/p>\n

In 2024, while serving as House Freedom Caucus chair, Good lost<\/a> a GOP congressional primary in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District to Trump-endorsed challenger John McGuire, who went on to win the general election and succeed Good in the House seat.<\/p>\n

Trump had repeatedly trashed Good on Truth Social, asserting<\/a>, “Bob Good is BAD FOR VIRGINIA, AND BAD FOR THE USA.”<\/p>\n

Last week Good declared in a post<\/a> on X, “Trump LIKES RINOS\u2026based on his endorsement history.”<\/p>\n

In a post<\/a> last month, Good asserted that “Trump has never made an endorsement based on the principles, character, policy positions, or qualifications of a candidate or elected official.”<\/p>\n
