Trump Teases Paxton

Trump jokingly calls Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton a pain in the ass

President Donald Trump made a joke about Texas Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton during remarks in Denton, Texas. This is the latest in a series of insults Trump has made about Paxton, who is running in a critical race for the GOP. Despite endorsing Paxton in the Republican primary and generally supporting his campaign, Trump has been critical of Paxton's dress and language. The New York Times published audio of Paption's private complaint about the convention, which he claimed did more harm than good. Despite these criticisms, Trump did not comment on the leaked audio.
