Sen. Blackburn to Newsmax: Trump 'Not Wasting a Minute' on Asia Trip for US

By    |   Tuesday, 28 October 2025 09:57 AM EDT

President Donald Trump "is not wasting one single minute" on his Asia trip in order to bring about positive developments for the United States, Sen. Marsha Blackburn told Newsmax on Tuesday.

The Tennessee Republican said on "Wake Up America" that Trump "is making good use of the opportunities. He is focused on tariffs and trades. He is focused on our nation's security, on ending wars, and on building relationships."

Meanwhile, she bemoaned that back home, the far-left base is in control of the Democrats, as can be seen in the party continuing the government shutdown, saying "it should worry the American people. Each and every individual who values our freedom."

Blackburn emphasized that the Democrats are focused on that radical left base... what you see is the Democrat leadership kowtowing to this radical leftist base that wants government control of your life from morning to night, daylight to dark, 24/7/365."

The senator pointed out that Democrats "have long said that one of their goals is to have government-run, single-payer system of healthcare... where government dictates the care you can get, the doctor you can see and what type of healthcare is available to you and your family."

She continued that "the Democrats are trying to force this government-run healthcare on people... and they are not concerned about people that are not going to get SNAP benefits due to the government shutdown."

Blackburn stressed that the Democrats "are willing to let people suffer in order to get the control and power they want."
