Trump Blasts GOP Sen. Susan Collins For Daring To Cross Him

President Donald Trump is having yet another rant — and this time he’s aiming his fury at Maine Sen. Susan Collins. 

In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump blasted the moderate Republican, who has opposed two key initiatives backed by Trump and his allies: a sweeping domestic policy package and a bill aimed at reclaiming $9 billion earmarked for public media and foreign aid.

“Republicans, when in doubt, vote the exact opposite of Senator Susan Collins,” Trump wrote. “Generally speaking, you can’t go wrong. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Collins, the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee who is up for reelection in 2026, was among several Republicans who voted against Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. She also opposed the rescissions bill Congress passed in July.

“The rescissions package has a big problem — nobody really knows what program reductions are in it,” she said in a statement at the time.

It’s not the first time Collins has drawn Trump’s ire. In a separate post on Truth Social, he lumped her in with Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Rand Paul (Ky.), and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), accusing the politicians of “playing with the lives of the American people, and right into the hands of the Radical Left Democrats and Drug Cartels” after they joined Democrats in April to vote to revoke the president’s tariffs on Canada.

In yet another post on Thursday, he took aim at Senate Republicans for not fast-tracking his agenda.

“The Senate must stay in Session, taking no recess, until the entire Executive Calendar is CLEAR!!!” Trump wrote. “We have to save our Country from the Lunatic Left. Republicans, for the health and safety of the USA, DO YOUR JOB, and confirm All Nominees. They should NOT BE FORCED TO WAIT. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
