Trump's comments come after he pressured the GOP to pull a spending bill that would have kept the government funded until at least March 14th. Ironically, both Trump and Roy publicly opposed the bill. However, Trump had called to eliminate the debt ceiling, something Roy has long been opposed to doing.
In response to Trump's claims about his effectiveness, Roy stated, "We're working right now on how to actually cut spending, which is what the voters sent me to Washington to do." He emphasized his focus on achieving fiscal responsibility amid the criticisms.
Trump's Truth Social remarks labeled Roy as "very unpopular" and accused him of obstructing what could be framed as a Republican victory for the sake of "cheap publicity." This highlights the tension within Republican ranks amidst budget negotiations.
When asked about Trump's pressure, Roy expressed his puzzlement regarding the remarks, saying, "I don't even know what we're talking about. I got to look at whatever was put out there," showcasing the disconnect between the two figures.
