What spending was increased?

Did you see it all when you skimmed the bill?

Has Trump spent any money? You love to play this game when he’s not in office and it’s congress that spends out their arse.

I’d also like to know where this debt ceiling promise is in his campaign agenda that these posters are claiming is a win for their argument.


This is fricking gold.

If we cut spending, the debt ceiling wouldn't need to be increased. The cuts would make up the difference.

And this isn’t the budget it was initially a porked yo CR until Elon said something. None of your conservative reps said anything.

He literally just told people to vote on a CR that would require unlimited debt ceiling to pass.

If he wants decreased spending, why would he be telling people to support more spending?

Again, preventing big spending was why there was chest pounding yesterday and claims of victory for killing yesterday's CR

Chip Roy did, hence why Trump threw the temper tantrum in OP

Massie wasn't voting for either, either.

It's the old CR + a ton of extra money.

I want less spending.

Getting rid of the ceiling is semantics for demand of spending? Ha

Not so much, because the debt service is so high and growing exponentially, the debt will never get smaller. Ever. As I said before I can see a pragmatic approach there… but the problem I have is Trump’s eagerness to trade higher spending to get it. It shows he’s not serious about making cuts. It’s was a bluff. He’s entirely willing to sell out on spending cuts to avoid addressing the debt issue up the road.

I can. But it’s more fun to watch you defend Trump by claiming ignorance.

Why is Trump so adamant about increasing spending?

If we cut spending, we wouldn't have to increase the DC.
