President-elect torpedoes bipartisan plan with less than 48 hours remaining until government shuts down for holidays<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the joint statement from Donald Trump and JD Vance yesterday afternoon in which they demanded Congress renegotiate the tentative deal to fund the government, and also raise the debt ceiling.<\/strong><\/p>\n Like much of the president-elect\u2019s communications, it was posted on Truth Social:<\/p>\n The most foolish and inept thing ever done by Congressional Republicans was allowing our country to hit the debt ceiling in 2025. It was a mistake and is now something that must be addressed.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Congress is considering a spending bill that would give sweetheart provisions for government censors and for Liz Cheney. The bill would make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt January 6 committee\u2014which accomplished nothing for the American people and hid security failures that happened that day. This bill would also give Congress a pay increase while many Americans are struggling this Christmas. <\/p>\n Increasing the debt ceiling is not great but we\u2019d rather do it on Biden\u2019s watch. If Democrats won\u2019t cooperate on the debt ceiling now, what makes anyone think they would do it in June during our administration? Let\u2019s have this debate now. And we should pass a streamlined spending bill that doesn\u2019t give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want.<\/p>\n Republicans want to support our farmers, pay for disaster relief, and set our country up for success in 2025. The only way to do that is with a temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS combined with an increase in the debt ceiling. Anything else is a betrayal of our country\u2026<\/p>\n If Republicans try to pass a clean Continuing Resolution without all of the Democrat \u2018bells and whistles\u2019 that will be so destructive to our Country, all it will do, after January 20th, is bring the mess of the Debt Limit into the Trump Administration, rather than allowing it to take place in the Biden Administration. Any Republican that would be so stupid as to do this should, and will, be Primaried. Everything should be done, and fully negotiated, prior to my taking Office on January 20th, 2025.<\/p>\n EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND!!!<\/p>\n Continue reading…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President-elect torpedoes bipartisan plan with less than 48 hours remaining until government shuts down for holidays Here\u2019s the joint statement from Donald Trump and JD Vance yesterday afternoon in which they demanded Congress renegotiate the tentative deal to fund the government, and also raise the debt ceiling.
