Former President Trump accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (D-Ky.) on Wednesday of “folding” in his standoff with Democrats over the debt limit, shortly after the senator proposed a plan to delay a potential default.
“Looks like Mitch McConnell is folding to the Democrats, again,” Trump said in a statement on Wednesday afternoon. “He’s got all of the cards with the debt ceiling, it’s time to play the hand. Don’t let them destroy our country!”
Trump's statement came just hours after McConnell offered Democrats a deal on temporarily resolving the impasse, as the country is estimated to have just weeks before it defaults on the national debt — a scenario that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said would spark an economic crisis and make the U.S. "a permanently weaker nation."

Bad reporting. Altho close to the truth.
or a slap in the fact to Mitch. If he acts like one call him what he is.
This is one of the times I have to fuss at Trump. Let’s be honest. Even before the china virus, Trump was as bad at rampant spending as a Dim.
I disagree with Trump. This is how it’s done: this is the pre-fold. The real fold will happen in December when the GOP agrees to a massive increase in return for the rats not voting to abolish the limit entirely. It’s always a two-step fold. It’s easier than getting out there and making g your case to the people
folding is what the RINOs do. They put up a little act to try to get us to think they’re fighting but in the end, and right with the plan, they fold.
We have had a one party system for a long time and it shows.

Trump doesn’t fold. He doesn’t give if at all possible. IMO
Sinate Repubs makes France look like Navy Seals.
There is no default if the Debt Limit isn’t raised.
Servicing the Debt is the first priority when Tax Revenue is received, followed by SS, Medicare, Pensions and other payments.
The Propaganda marches on.
The RNC leadership needs to be replaced starting with McConnell and McCarthy...
Rd later.
I was talking about the Republican leadership. And you’ll find no greater Trump admirer than me but, since you brought it up, you’re incorrect. He folded on one of those massive spending bills that nobody reads, vowed never to do it again, then did it again. Financial prudence was not his strong suite
McConnell isn’t a Dem? Who knew!
Well Trump if you did NOT supported China Mitch’s reelection .
We may have a different outcome now .
But Trump kept backing Dem lites like Mittens or Grahamnesty or
that awful GA female senator .
That's wrong but it may as well be correct.
F Joe Biden
Never forget CIA stooge Gina Haspel after the entire world knew the election was stolen visiting Mitch McConnell on Capitol Hill.
“We got caught. What do we do now?”
There are no fiscal conservatives in office and there never will be. Voters want money flowing in their districts. They are under the delusion it is free money.
Boy it a good thing Trump didn’t start a third party, as so many freepers were against.
Yup, sure was good. Yup.
P.s:
I

Losers.
Correct. ... I think the debt service is $44B a month now and the incoming is $320B a month. That’s only about 14% of revenue, monthly.
If the Socialists want to spend more for “feel good” crap, they can agree to eliminating things like the EPA, Educ., BLM (land mgt.) and other highly paid bureaucratic/useless entities. OH... Add Energy to that list.
