Republican tax reform bill hits a roadblock in Senate, Trump slams conservative lawmakers as "crazy"

on Tuesday morning, Trump criticized fiscal conservative Senator Rand Paul as "crazy" and urged hesitant Republican senators to quickly advance tax and spending bills. The Kentucky senator had previously stated that he would not support the president's landmark bill because it would raise the U.S. statutory debt limit. Paul said, "I just disagree, it does not adhere to conservative principles." He also believes that the tax reform measure will significantly increase the national debt. Trump quickly responded on social media, calling the senator "never put forward any practical or constructive ideas, his ideas are crazy (loser!)"
