President Donald Trump increased his criticism of the Republican senators who threatened to complicate the passage of “a beautiful big bill,” which advanced his legislative agenda.
On Tuesday, he reviled Senator Rand Paul at a social media post after the Kentucky Republic openly criticized the Megabill who was thrown at the house.
Paul opposed the bill because of an increase in the debt ceiling which he said would “explode deficits.” Paul said at an event at Iowa last week that the cutting in the bill was “weak and anemia” and called for slashes to other rights, what Trump had clarified was the red line for him.

“Rand Paul has a little understanding of the BBB, especially the extraordinary growth that will come. He likes to choose ‘not’ in everything, according to him is a good politics, but not,” Trump said At the post On the conservative social media platform Tuesday morning.
In a Separate postTrump said Paul “never had practical or constructive ideas.” During the weekend, Trump said That if Paul voted against the bill, “Great people Kentucky will never forgive him!”
Trump is working on a telephone and holding a meeting with the senators to try to get the agenda that is carried by the congress.
Trump met with the majority leader of Senate John Thune in the White House yesterday, according to a White House official. The meeting came when Thune faced a huge task to move the Bill supported by the DPR through the Senate as quickly as possible.
Thune so far has not explained what strategy is to move this package through the upper space. But as is happening now, Thune is only able to lose three of his GOP members to pass the package, and at this time, he has more members than who expressed serious doubts about the bill.
The president’s outreach has so far targeted a number of senators who openly declare the need to see substantive changes to the Bill supported by the DPR.
Trump met with Republican Senator Rick Scott on Monday to discuss the bill, sources confirmed to ABC News. Scott is among a group of senate hardliners who want to see greater cuts for government spending in this bill.
Senator of the Republic of Ron Johnson – who also received a call from Trump on Monday, according to the White House – was also a vocal about his concern that the bill was not far enough to cut federal expenses.
But anyone who wants to change the bill must balance the desire to spend cuts from the hardline of calls from others at a conference that insisted there was no cutting for Medicaid. Changes to Medicaid are one of the main ways of the DPR Bill to cut the level of expenditure.
Trump seems to target part of the GOP conference as well, talking to the Republic of Josh Hawley’s senator by telephone, a White House official confirmed. Hawley, who said he opposed potential cuts for the Medicaid allowance, said in a Post on x After the call, Trump “said again, there was no cutting of the benefits of Medicaid.”

The echo of sentiment from Trump, Press Secretary of the White House Karoline Leavitt on Monday suggested that the Republican Senator who made a vote against Megabill Trump would have a price to be paid.
“Their voters will find out. That cannot be accepted by Republican voters and all voters throughout the country who voted for the president in the majority of the Republic to complete something in Capitol Hill,” Leavitt said.
Although revealed some dislike of a large tax bill last week, Leavitt said Trump was interested in maintaining the bill that was mostly absent.
“The discussion is ongoing, but the President will not withdraw from the top priority he promised to the American public, and they expect Capitol Hill to help him give,” Leavitt said.
