Former President Donald Trump mocks Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton during a Republican campaign event supporting GOP midterm candidates, according to multiple outlets. The comments come as Paxton appears on stage and maintains a composed expression despite repeated personal jabs.
Both reports say this is not the first time Trump targets Paxton in the same manner, describing it as the second night in a row. The coverage focuses on the public exchange and Paxton’s reaction, rather than on specific policy disagreements or any formal response from Paxton.
While the Independent emphasizes Trump’s repeated ridicule across two nights and notes it relates to Paxton’s appearance, Yahoo UK centers on the same sequence of events—Trump’s onstage mockery and Paxton’s visibly forced smile. Neither outlet attributes the remarks to a stated policy dispute, and both primarily frame the moment as a campaign-style personal insult during a party-facing event.
