Thom Tillis Defends His Late-Career Criticism of Trump in New Book
Senator Thom Tillis, retiring in June 2025, argues in his memoir that he only grew vocal against President Trump after announcing his departure.
In his recently released book, How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents, the two-term senator rebuts claims that he waited until retirement to challenge President Trump. Tillis labels detractors as “lazy reporters” and acknowledges that his criticism intensified after he disclosed his retirement plans. The work reflects his perspective on the political dynamics of the past years.
