Trump angrily attacked Perdue as 'lazy' for losing his primary, report says — a criticism more often used of Trump himself

The Washington Post reported that Donald Trump was angry that David Perdue lost the Republican gubernatorial primary in Georgia.

In Georgia last week, two of Trump's endorsed candidates lost their primaries.

Perdue got 21% of the vote compared to Brian Kemp's 73%. Brad Raffensberger defeated Jody Hice in the secretary of state race.

Advisors to Trump told the Post that the former president thought the candidates he endorsed in the races were lazy.

Trump staked a lot of political capital on the races in Georgia, where he wanted revenge on Kemp and Raffensperger for their refusal to endorse his bogus claim that he lost the state to Joe Biden in 2020 because of fraud.

Perdue was supported by the former president, who was campaigning around promoting Trump's election- fraud.

Perdue lost his seat in the Senate in a close race early in the 21st century where some Republicans blamed Trump for driving down GOP turnout.

Trump was accused of being lazy while in office. White House documents suggested that he wouldn't bother reading briefings because he was blocking out large sections of the day to watch coverage of himself on cable TV.

Donald Trump spent a lot of time off the clock playing golf, far exceeding the number of rounds he had criticized Barack Obama for playing.

Trump held a rally in Wisconsin as part of his campaign to oust Liz Cheney, a high-profile Republican critic who is sitting on the Jan 6 commission.
