Don’t you know his spending was “beautiful. No one had ever seen spending like this!”?

They don’t get Trump.

He had said for years to negotiate you must sometimes walk away for a time. That’s what this is. If you don’t get the cuts you want you shrug and say, “oh well, we’ll default then. Gonna have to do it eventually anyway.” Then the other side gets more reasonable.

Classic walk away negotiating strategy.

Agreeing with DeSantis and Ryan, who are in the branch of government that initiates debt increases?

You have a good memory.
For the record, Trump did not like the idea of a debt ceiling.
I expect he would be consistent on that.

No the GOP should not simply give Biden a debt ceiling increase, no strings attached. Reductions in current spending need to be part of that debt ceiling relief.

But merely adopting a “let the government default”, period, is reckless. It does not change what spending authority has been granted, it does change the debt on the books and how to pay for it much less pay it down, and it creates another financial crisis that goes beyond the debt ceiling limit. Default would affect the dollar, U.S. interest rates and raise the interest rates the treasury will pay for new buyers on the debt instruments it turns over. Creating one crisis through an impass over another crisis is not a solution.

He responded to a question about budget showdowns during his presidency. Watch the video.

Let’s consider “default” to be analogous to the n-word. In the “default” case it’s something we just can’t even think of doing. It’s the ‘d-thing”.

I’m with Trump. Let’s see what would happen. No politician has given an explanation.

Same question, where was the GOP’s professional career politicians on the border for the past 50 years prior to Trump?

Where were they?
