Establishment GOP Senators Say Trump Is Saving Taxpayer Money ‘Too Fast,’ Demand He Slow DownWendell Husebo 19 Feb 2025
Establishment Republican senators believe President Donald Trump is saving taxpayer money “too fast” while “rashly” purging rogue and corrupt bureaucrats.
The senators requested Trump slow down on fulfilling his campaign promises of cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, as well as gutting the “deep state.”
The administration is moving “too fast,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) told Axios about Trump’s campaign promises.
Collins, an ally of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), claimed the president is “making mistakes” and would be happy with “a more surgical approach” that does not “violate restrictions that are in current law.”
“Before making cuts rashly, the administration should be studying and staffing to see what the consequences are. Measure twice before cutting. They have had to backtrack multiple times,” Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) echoed Collins.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), another ally of McConnell, is very worried about purging the “deep state” of rogue and corrupt actors.
“We all want efficiencies, there is a way to do it, and the way these people have been treated has been awful in many cases. Awful,” she said.
