Trump pre-blaming Dems for Repubs bungling debt-ceiling in June 2025.

?si=XWbRot8775aYW6qJ

Paraphrased:

So, Democrats hate this country and want to cause a Depression, and that's why it was traitorous to time the debt-ceiling to run out in June 2025, when Biden's first term was scheduled to have ended.

What we must do now is to force the Biden administration to extend the debt-ceiling so that the whole political fall-out hits Democrats and not Republicans.

I think, Trump wanted to say that it was irresponsible for McCarthy to extended the debt-ceiling merely until June 2025 after Joe Biden's first term, and not preemptively all the way for the entire yet-to-be-determined 2025-2028 administration?????

There will be 30 GOP who don’t want to vote for it.

Democrats should just look at Johnson and tell him they aren’t working with him unless he concedes on something of their choosing.

However, if all GOP fall in line and they don’t need Democrats, they will have to do something they hate: voting to increase the debt limit, but to get all the votes Johnson will have to agree to significantly cut spending. That’s going to hurt someone somewhere along the way. In that scenario Democrats need to shine a light on who will be hurt if this scenario plays out.

Either way, Democrats need to play hard ball and be prepared to get down and dirty. Lie, obfuscate, and confuse in order to paint the GOP and Trump in the worst possible way.

Use this to ruin them!
