Donald Trump and JD Vance are blaming President Biden for the havoc caused by Elon Musk over the government spending bill.
JD Vance posted this statement attributed to Trump and Vance:
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.
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—which 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.
Increasing the debt ceiling is not great but we’d rather do it on Biden’s watch. If Democrats won’t cooperate on the debt ceiling now, what makes anyone think they would do it in June during our administration? Let’s have this debate now. And we should pass a streamlined spending bill that doesn’t give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want.
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.
Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH. If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF. It is Schumer and Biden
who are holding up aid to our farmers and disaster relief.
THIS CHAOS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IF WE HAD A REAL PRESIDENT. WE WILL IN 32 DAYS!
Just a reminder that Donald Trump oversaw the longest government shutdown in US history. The 35-day shutdown cost the US economy $11 billion.
The person who is responsible for this chaos isn’t Joe Biden, but Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire who knows nothing about government.
Trump is showing that he can’t fix anything. His only skill is in breaking things. Donald Trump was more than happy to let the CR pass until Elon Musk started getting all of the attention, so he had to remind everyone that all eyes should be on him. Thanks to Musk, Trump now owns this mess and all of the instability that will ensue.
