It was the debt ceiling. It’s why trump was so critical of chip Roy who clearly doesn’t understand how “the game” (as nicely described by Jeff) is played and how democrats (and repubs too) use the fake debt ceiling and other stupidities to fund their pork.

Yep, we need to consider the safety of our country while we restore our border wall. It will cost a lot to send illegals back to their homes. Get them back to their homes now! Raise the debt ceiling!!

Biden spent money knowing it would force Trump onto this corner. Are we going to be arguing debt limit, or are we going to be implementing the changes that Trump wants to initiate? Chip Roy has his heart in the right place, but so does Trump. Very difficult situation! 🙏

This explanation by Jeff is the first time I have ever heard of why the debt ceiling increase right now would have been ok… I still don’t like it one bit. There has to be a creative way Trump can still get his agenda done efficiently without a raise in the debt ceiling (as now I read they passed the bare essentials without debt ceiling increase). DOGE needs to do their thing right away😀so there’s no need for debt increases. I hope Trump doesn’t start a fight with Chip Roy over this, we need both Trump and people like Roy in power right now.

I agree!! They do have the right idea but are looking at it the wrong way which is how Johnson got himself backed into this corner but it’s still unacceptable to vote on the hideous monstrosity of pork he allowed them to build. Those should never ever be allowed to see the light of day again.
