Jordan’s comments come after Trump last week struck a deal with Democrats to fund the government for three months, raise the debt ceiling and provide aid to regions hit by Hurricane Harvey. The agreement, after minimal negotiation, surprised many Republicans.

Jordan, a co-founder of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said he doesn’t focus on whether or not the deal is good for Democratic leadership.

“I don’t think it’s good for the American taxpayer. I don’t think it’s good for the American people,” he said.
