\u201cI don\u2019t have a problem [with] President Trump. I got a \u2014 I got a problem with some of the people I consider to be amateurs, advising him,\u201d Tillis said in the interview that aired on CNN\u2019s \u201cThe Lead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to make it very clear to them guys, when you act like the president when I \u2014 when he\u2019s out of the room, you don\u2019t impress me. And they\u2019ll hear more of that in the coming months,\u201d he added later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tillis also said he has \u201cdisagreed with bad advice that some of\u201d the president\u2019s \u201cadvisers are giving him, whether it\u2019s on a nominee or whether it\u2019s on policy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican senators have not been pleased<\/u><\/a> about how Trump treated Tillis recently, with the president blasting the North Carolina Republican last week on social media after Tillis said he would not vote for the \u201cbig, beautiful bill,\u201d Trump\u2019s legislative package centered around tax cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tillis is viewed highly among colleagues as a team player with a focus on results, and numerous Republicans believed he would have had the best chance of keeping his seat for Republicans in next year\u2019s election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNumerous people have come forward wanting to run in the Primary against \u2018Senator Thom\u2019 Tillis,\u201d Trump wrote in a Truth Social post late last month<\/u><\/a>. \u201cI will be meeting with them over the coming weeks, looking for someone who will properly represent the Great People of North Carolina and, so importantly, the United States of America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
