‘Paid troublemakers’: Trump alarmed by ruckus at GOP town halls after first-month chaos
President Donald Trump took notice of the ruckus at Republican town hall events after his first month in office was marked by chaos.
The president spoke out about the town halls in a Monday post on his Truth Social platform.
"Paid 'troublemakers' are attending Republican Town Hall Meetings. It is all part of the game for the Democrats, but just like our big LANDSLIDE ELECTION, it's not going to work for them!" Trump wrote.
NBC News reported that Republicans had largely canceled town hall meets amid fear of blowback from Trump's actions.
"A Republican lawmaker who spoke to NBC News on the condition of anonymity to avoid publicly divulging internal party strategy, said that the RNC has been helpful in making suggestions about how House Republicans can handle the situation but that it stopped short of trying to impose an impossible-to-enforce moratorium," NBC said.

One Republican senator who went through with a town hall was swamped by people mad at Trump.
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) quickly ended the town hall event last week after he experienced a wave of backlash over Trump's DOGE-related cuts.
