President Donald Trump ripped into Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) over his lack of support for the Big Beautiful Bill in a pair of posts on his Truth Social account Tuesday morning.
The senate is currently debating on the 1,116-page budget reconciliation bill which was passed by the House last month, and Trump wants the Senate to get it passed as well. However, some Republican senators are digging in their heels and saying they will vote against it, noting that it raises the debt limit.
Sen. Paul is among those who are refusing to support the bill.
“The Senate’s Big Beautiful Bill jacks up the debt ceiling by $5 trillion in its current form. No Congress in American history has ever approved a hike that massive. All the while, interest on the debt now tops $1 trillion a year!” Paul warned in a post on X on May 25.
“This isn’t about loyalty to President Trump—I support him. It’s about the tsunami of debt that’s about to drown this country. Someone has to be brave enough to stand in its path,” Paul added.

Tuesday morning, wrote, “Rand Paul has very little understanding of the BBB, especially the tremendous GROWTH that is coming. 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. His ideas are actually crazy (losers!). The people of Kentucky can’t stand him. This is a BIG GROWTH BILL!” Trump added.
In an effort to better explain what’s in the bill, Trump posted the following statements on Truth Social Monday night:
Passing THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL is a Historic Opportunity to turn our Country around after four disastrous years under Joe Biden. We will take a massive step to balancing our Budget by enacting the largest mandatory Spending Cut, EVER, and Americans will get to keep more of their money with the largest Tax Cut, EVER, and no longer taxing Tips, Overtime, or Social Security for Seniors — Something 80 Million Voters supported in November.
It will unleash American Energy by expediting permitting for Energy, and refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It will make American Air Travel GREAT AGAIN by purchasing the final Air Traffic Control System. We will secure our skies from our adversaries by building The Golden Dome, and secure our Border by building more of our Wall, and supercharging the deportation of the millions of Criminal Illegals Joe Biden allowed to walk right into our Country.
It will kick millions of Illegals off Medicaid, and make sure SNAP is focused on Americans ONLY! It will also restore Choice and Affordability for Car purchases by REPEALING Biden’s EV Mandate, and all of the GREEN NEW SCAM Tax Credits and Spending.
THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL also protects our beautiful children by stopping funding for sick sex changes for minors. With the Senate coming back to Washington today, I call on all of my Republican friends in the Senate and House to work as fast as they can to get this Bill to MY DESK before the Fourth of JULY. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
In another post, he added:
So many false statements are being made about “THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,” but what nobody understands is that it’s the single biggest Spending Cut in History, by far! But there will be NO CUTS to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. In fact, they will be saved from the incompetence of the Democrats.
The Democrats, who have totally lost their confidence and their way, are saying whatever comes to mind — Anything to win! They suffered the Greatest Humiliation in the History of Politics, and they’re desperate to get back on their game, but they won’t be able to do that because their Policies are so bad, in fact, they would lead to the Destruction of our Country, and almost did.
The only “cutting” we will do is for Waste, Fraud, and Abuse, something that should have been done by the Incompetent, Radical Left Democrats for the last four years, but wasn’t.
“I do support President Trump and I support most of the bill. I’m his biggest defender on foreign policy. But at the same time I want conservative government so I have to fight for what I believe in,” Sen. Paul wrote in a post on Monday.
