In a Truth Social post shared after 1 AM on Friday, Trump described Duncan – a longtime critic of his – as "a total loser," arguing he was "never able to get anything done" as "all he ever did was complain."

"We didn't want him in the Republican Party any longer, so I'm told he became a Democrat," Trump wrote.

"Good riddance Geoff. You don't even have a chance!!!"

The president's remarks were in reaction to an op-ed Duncan recently published with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, in which he explained the journey to his decision began in 2020, when he became one of very few Republicans to denounce Trump's attempt to "steal" the presidential election.

Duncan criticized Trump's recent spending bill, which is expected to make massive cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and described the administration's aggressive immigration agenda as "a lesson on how not to love your neighbor."

Now that he has changed parties, Duncan added that he is interested in running for office again.

In a statement to the Daily Beast, Duncan argued Trump "has been running a Ponzi scheme of propaganda for the better part of a decade" which will inevitably "collapse" under its own weight.
