Trump trashes 'wise guy' Kevin Stitt after moving governors' event from White House

President Donald Trump on Thursday had harsh words for Gov. Kevin Stitt, R-Okla., after the governor decided not to hold the National Governor's Association (NGA) annual meeting at the White House.

Stitt made the decision following reports that Trump would not invite specific Democratic governors to the event. Trump suggested that Stitt had made the decision in a bid to score publicly for himself.

"Remember, it was RINO Governor Kevin Stitt, of Oklahoma, who was massively behind his Opponent in his previous Election for Governor, who called me to ask for help. I Endorsed him (Barely!), and he won his Race," Trump posted on Truth Social. "He then went on to modestly represent among the greatest people on Earth, the incredible Patriots of 'The Sooner State,' who gave me unprecedented Voting acclimation in all three Elections, winning every County within the State, three times, and getting more Votes than anyone who has ever run for Office, including the Late, Great Ronald Reagan."

"In any event, we will soon have a Governor in Oklahoma who knows how to accurately write a Press Release to the Public, in this case, to state that I invited, not happily, almost all Democrat Governors to the Governor’s Dinner at the White House," he added. "Stitt, a wiseguy, knew this, but tried to get some cheap publicity by stating otherwise. Anyway, I’ll see whoever shows up at the White House, the fewer the better!"
