"[Trump] said, Whatever happened to Senator Rand Paul? He was never great, but he went really bad. I got him elected twice in the great commonwealth of Kentucky, but he just never votes positively for the Republican Party. He's a nasty little guy.' Welker said reading directly from the Truth Social post. Why do you think President Trump is targeting you, Senator?"
"I think the problem is this is that in Washington, what I represent some people describe as unusual, Paul said. And the president describes it as weird that I'm for less debt and balanced budget. But when I come home to Kentucky or when I travel the United States, people come up to me and say, Stick to your guns. You're the only voice up there, Republican or Democrat, who's still talking about the debt and still talking about balanced budgets.'"
Senator Rand Paul faced questions after President Donald Trump posted a Truth Social message mocking his record and calling him a "nasty little guy." Paul described his Washington positions as unusual and defended advocacy for less debt and balanced budgets; constituents commonly urge him to "stick to your guns." Paul cited a long personal relationship with Trump, including playing golf and defending him during impeachment, and called Trump one of the best presidents of his lifetime while insisting he will not remain silent on policy disagreements. Paul objected to bombing Venezuelan boats and warned that war without congressional authorization is inappropriate, and he said tariffs harm the economy.
