Alina Habba, counselor to President Trump, criticized Democrats for obstructing his administration. In an interview on America Reports, she discussed Trump’s priorities in his first month back in office.
Habba defended the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aimed at reducing wasteful spending. She argued it aligns with fiscal responsibility, despite criticism from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who called it overreach. Habba maintained that Trump’s actions are legal and serve American taxpayers.
Habba countered Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s claims that Trump’s cuts harm working-class Americans. She emphasized Trump’s America First agenda, which prioritizes economic stability and accountability.
She also highlighted Democratic efforts to delay Senate confirmations but assured Trump’s momentum continues.
