Senate Majority Leader John Thune: The Deep State RINO Sabotaging Trump’s MAGA Revolution

In the high-stakes arena of Washington politics, few figures embody the duplicitous nature of establishment Republicans quite like Senate Majority Leader John Thune. Hailing from South Dakota, Thune has long positioned himself as a reliable conservative, often appearing on Fox News to tout his pro-Trump credentials and decry Democratic obstructionism. Yet, beneath this facade lies a pattern of betrayal that has repeatedly undermined President Donald Trump’s agenda and the broader Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. As a key player in the Senate, Thune’s actions—particularly his recent maneuver to block hundreds of Trump’s recess appointments—reveal him as a Deep State operative more interested in preserving the status quo than advancing populist reforms.

This article delves into Thune’s history of thwarting Trump, drawing exclusively from conservative perspectives that expose his hypocrisy and disloyalty. The most glaring example of Thune’s sabotage unfolded in August 2025, when the Senate was poised for its traditional summer recess. Under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution, presidents can make recess appointments to fill vacancies without Senate confirmation when the chamber is not in session. Trump, fresh off his landslide 2024 victory, sought to use this power to install loyalists in key positions across the judiciary, executive agencies, and prosecutorial roles—potentially hundreds of nominees stalled by Democratic filibusters. However, Thune orchestrated a series of “pro forma” sessions, brief sham meetings every few days with no real business conducted, to prevent a true recess from occurring. This tactic, rarely used against a president of the same party, effectively handcuffed Trump and allowed Deep State holdovers to continue their resistance from within the bureaucracy.

Conservative commentators erupted in outrage. On his Infowars platform, Alex Jones labeled it “SWAMP SABOTAGE,” accusing Thune of waging a “covert war” to stifle Trump’s populous agenda. Jones highlighted how Thune’s move protected entrenched interests, arguing that Trump’s biggest threat isn’t Democrats but “Deep State Republicans” like Thune. Similarly, The Gateway Pundit branded Thune a “hypocrite” for publicly slamming Democrats’ nominee blockades while employing the same obstructive tactics himself. Thune’s defenders claimed it was procedural, but MAGA voices saw through the ruse. As one X post thundered, “John Thune just blocked President Trump from making recess appointments… This isn’t ‘procedural.’ It’s sabotage. Thune is Mitch 2.0 in a cowboy hat.”

Even as Thune appeared on camera lamenting Democratic delays, his actions ensured Trump’s team remained understaffed, hamstringing efforts to drain the swamp. This isn’t an isolated incident; Thune’s record is riddled with betrayals dating back to Trump’s first campaign. In October 2016, following the release of the infamous Access Hollywood tape, Thune publicly called for Trump to withdraw from the presidential race. In a statement that echoed establishment panic, Thune declared Trump unfit and urged Mike Pence to step in as the nominee. Conservative outlets like Breitbart lambasted this as a stab in the back, noting Thune’s alignment with anti-Trump forces within the GOP. While Thune later fell in line after Trump’s victory, his initial disloyalty set the tone for future obstructions. Fast-forward to the tumultuous post-2020 election period. Thune was among the first Republicans to recognize Joe Biden’s “victory” in December 2020, dismissing Trump’s fraud claims despite mounting evidence from conservative investigators.

On Fox News, Thune claimed the election was fair, a position that alienated MAGA grassroots who viewed it as capitulation to the Deep State steal. The Federalist criticized Thune for this, arguing he prioritized Beltway decorum over fighting for Trump’s supporters. Then, in the wake of January 6, 2021, Thune blamed Trump for the events, stating the president bore “some responsibility” and that his rhetoric had gone too far. Although Thune ultimately voted to acquit in the second impeachment trial, his public finger-pointing fueled media narratives against Trump, drawing ire from outlets like Townhall, which accused him of aiding the left’s witch hunt. Thune’s legislative betrayals further cement his traitor status. In 2021, he voted for the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, a bloated spending package Trump vehemently opposed as a giveaway to Democrats and special interests. Conservative Roof reported this as Thune ignoring Trump’s pleas, enabling Biden’s agenda while pretending to support fiscal conservatism.

Similarly, Thune backed multiple Ukraine aid packages totaling over $100 billion, despite Trump’s warnings that such funding perpetuated endless wars and drained American resources. MAGA voices on X decried this as Thune’s Deep State loyalty, with one post noting, “Thune’s Ukraine votes are proof he’s more globalist than America First.” In 2022, Thune supported the Respect for Marriage Act, codifying same-sex marriage federally—a move seen by social conservatives as a betrayal of traditional values Trump championed. Even in Trump’s second term, Thune’s obstruction persists. Beyond the recess fiasco, he has slow-walked confirmations for Trump’s nominees, allowing Democrats to maintain a de facto veto. In September 2025, Thune refused to censure Rep. Adam Schiff despite calls from MAGA leaders like Gunther Eagleman, who blasted him on X for protecting a key anti-Trump figure.

Just in case you guys don’t know who John Thune is. Share this out for everyone to see this RINO Trump hater.

Thune’s inaction on impeaching rogue judges or codifying Trump’s executive orders, such as the SAVE Act for election integrity, has frustrated conservatives. As Flopping Aces put it, “Thune is a disgrace,” echoing widespread sentiment that his camera-friendly pro-Trump talk is mere theater. Thune’s Deep State ties run deeper. Critics point to his close relationship with Mitch McConnell, whom he succeeded as leader, and his fundraising from lobbyists and Big Tech donors hostile to Trump’s populism. In 2023, Thune opposed Trump’s bid to return as Speaker of the House, siding with establishment picks. Conservative Roof highlighted how Thune’s leadership election was marred by suspicions of backroom deals to thwart MAGA insurgents.

On camera, Thune praises Trump, but his votes and maneuvers tell a different story—one of calculated subversion. The MAGA movement demands accountability. As Donald Russo tweeted, Thune’s pro forma sessions were a “major betrayal,” hurting Trump by blocking essential appointments. Calls for primaries grow louder, with figures like Lara Logan questioning who’s truly standing in Trump’s way. Thune’s pattern—lying about support while actively thwarting reforms—exposes him as a traitor. For Trump to succeed, such RINOs must be purged.  President might have to deal with him as he does command the Senate, but it is now up to MAGA to help America and Trump, and get rid of this man from politics ASAP.
