Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, one of poker's most successful players, has been ranting over the past 48 hours about everything from anti-Trumpism, President Joe Biden running for re-election in 2024, the WSOP failure to punish player who are tardy to tournament events and puberty blockers?

Poker pro Andrew Barber, a Democrat, got under Mike's skin after tweeting out the following:

"I think many on the left think that the current GOP is the threat (and I tend to agree), not just Trump, so this strategy makes sense. Would anything change your mind?"

Matusow remains a loyal supporter of former U.S. President Donald Trump.

"Man you’re so brainwashed I almost feel bad for you because you used to be a really nice guy!," The Mouth tweeted in response.

Barber admitted on Staurday he did not believe Biden would run in 2024, to which Matusow claimed the odds were 1 billion to 1.

True odds are 1billion to 1 I’ll give you 20 for how much? https://t.co/dgbHkE2zEG

Then the Mouth offered Barber a back-handed compiiment, sort of.

I don’t think you’re an asshole I just think you’re brainwashed & don’t think for yourself! All media does is lie & if I go to point out those lies you won’t even let me show them to you cause it’s confirmation bias politics!I debate my friend Ashley on left every week on issues https://t.co/aZe6JCBNEi

Matusow also accused those in power pushing puberty blockers and get sex reassignment surgery as "child abusers".

Mike couldn't resist taking a swipe at the World Series of Poker over their apparent inability to punish players who are late to tournament events,

I honestly commend this policy of seating! I’m sick of people who show up on time getting penalized! Finally fairness https://t.co/4seBhznuu9
