President Donald Trump expressed discontentment with Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Oct. 17 after leaked audio revealed the Nebraska senator criticized the president while on a call to constituents earlier this week.

In a series of Twitter posts, Trump described Sasse as the “least effective” of all the Republican senators and suggested that he “truly doesn’t have what it takes to be great.”
