GOP Senator’s career is over after Trump went scorched earth
The President has a knack for making and breaking careers. And one woman learned that the hard way.
And now a GOP Senator’s career is over after Trump went scorched earth.
Trump Rallies GOP Against Collins to Advance America-First Agenda
On Thursday, July 31, 2025, President Donald Trump targeted Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) in a fiery Truth Social post, urging Republicans to oppose her votes to strengthen party unity and advance his vision for America.
“Republicans, when in doubt, vote the exact opposite of Senator Susan Collins. Generally speaking, you can’t go wrong. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote.
His bold call highlights his determination to align the GOP with his America-first policies, criticizing Collins’ frequent breaks from party lines as an obstacle to national progress. T
rump’s leadership, backed by a thriving economy and recent trade successes, positions him to rally Republicans behind his transformative agenda.
Collins’ Voting Record Sparks Trump’s Criticism
Collins, a senator since 1997, has built a reputation as a moderate, often diverging from GOP priorities, which has drawn Trump’s ire.
Last month, she voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a sweeping legislative package, and a rescissions measure to claw back unspent funds, both of which Trump signed into law, securing key policy victories.
Earlier in 2025, Collins opposed the confirmations of Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense and Kash Patel as FBI director, blocking two loyal Trump nominees critical to his administration’s security agenda.
Her vote in February 2021 to convict Trump during his post-presidency impeachment trial over the January 6 Capitol riot, though falling short of conviction, cemented her as a target for Trump’s base.
Fox News Digital reached out to Collins’ office for comment on Friday morning, August 1, but her consistent opposition to Trump’s initiatives fuels his push to marginalize her influence within the party.
Trump’s Leadership Drives GOP and Economic Success
Trump’s directive to counter Collins reflects his broader strategy to unify Republicans behind his policies, which have delivered tangible results.
The U.S. economy grew 3% in the last quarter, and inflation fell to 3.2% in June 2025, per the Bureau of Economic Analysis and Bureau of Labor Statistics, defying critics of Trump’s tariff-driven trade approach.
His recent trade triumphs, including a 90-day USMCA extension with Mexico, a landmark U.S.-EU deal, and agreements with the UK, Japan, and others, underscore his ability to reshape global commerce in America’s favor.
By calling out Collins, Trump galvanizes the GOP to prioritize his agenda over establishment moderates, ensuring the party remains a robust vehicle for his vision of American greatness as he navigates critical trade deadlines and foreign policy challenges.
