President Donald Trump is fuming at Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) for refusing to assist his “big, beautiful bill” and is blasting the Republican senator on social media.
“Rand Paul has very little understanding of the BBB, especially the tremendous GROWTH that is coming,” Trump wrote Tuesday on his Reality Social platform. “He loves voting ‘NO’ on everything, he thinks it’s good politics, but it’s not. The BBB is a big WINNER!!!”
“Rand votes NO on everything, but never has any practical or constructive ideas,” the president wrote in a separate publish later Tuesday. “His ideas are actually crazy (losers!). The people of Kentucky can’t stand him. This is a BIG GROWTH BILL!”
The invoice, formally generally known as the One Large Stunning Invoice Act, requires $4 trillion in tax cuts and billions for Trump’s mass deportation initiative. In the meantime, it may kick thousands and thousands of individuals off Medicaid and curb eligibility for the Supplemental Vitamin Help Program, which some 42 million folks depend on to purchase meals every month.
The Congressional Price range Workplace has estimated that the laws would add greater than $2 trillion to federal finances deficits over 10 years, one thing Paul isn’t proud of.
“The problem is the math doesn’t add up,” the Republican mentioned Sunday on Fox Information. “They’re going to explode the debt by — the House says $4 trillion, the Senate’s actually been talking about … $5 trillion. This year, in September … the deficit will be about $2.2 trillion.”
“The Republicans would say, ‘Well, that’s Bidenomics! That’s [former President Joe] Biden spending levels!’” Paul continued. “Well, in March, every Republican, virtually every Republican other than me, voted to continue the Biden spending level.”
“That’s just not conservative,” he added.

Trump could also be unable to disregard Paul’s perspective, because the destiny of his invoice now rests with the U.S. Senate. Senate Republicans can solely afford to lose three GOP votes to move the invoice with a easy majority if all Democrats vote towards it, as anticipated.
But solely a handful of Republican senators are presently calling for modifications to the invoice, which Trump hopes to have on his desk by July 4. Paul advised reporters Monday that he’s had a prolonged chat with Trump about his issues, however that the president “did most of the talking.”
