I appreciate the numbers that you were throwing out, $27.5 billion saved estimated over the next 10 years, but that is $2.7 billion divided by more than $700 billion. That is 0.35 percent. It is better than nothing, but it is not much better than nothing.
Senator Johnson critiques the savings estimate as minimal compared to overall spending.

I had a very respectful conversation with Mr. Trump, telling reporters that he and the president 'by and large share the same goal,' but have a 'difference in opinion in terms of how to do it.'
Listen, in the House, President Trump can threaten to primary [holdouts], and those guys want to keep their seats. I understand the pressure. Can’t pressure me that way.
