Trump argued that threatening to allow a federal default would have been 'the Republicans' first-class ticket for victory over the Democrats.'
Despite previously pledging to force Democrats to raise the debt ceiling using the Senate's potentially time-consuming budget reconciliation process, McConnell recruited Republican support earlier this week to block a potential filibuster—a plan that came to fruition on Thursday when 13 GOP senators joined him by voting to allow Democrats to fast-track their bill.
."He was afraid to play that card even though without question, they would have completely FOLDED on the Build Back Worse Bill, which will destroy the fabric of our Country and virtually anything else that the Republicans wanted."'s spending bill, Trump argued that threatening to allow a federal default by refusing to raise the debt ceiling should have also been used as a GOP strategy to block the successful bipartisan infrastructure bill.
Trump praised House Republicans as"true patriots" for earlier this week being nearly united in voting against a bill that would pave the way for the raising of the debt ceiling. He insisted that the lone GOP"yes" vote from Representative came from someone who was"not a Republican." Trump also suggested that McConnell's debt ceiling move would somehow lead to Democrats abolishing the filibuster.
"The Old Crow also allowed a breaking up of the filibuster, which allows the Democrats now to establish precedent for changing the number of Justices on theand, perhaps most importantly of all, a so-called Voting Rights Bill, which will make it almost impossible for Republicans to get elected in the future," Trump said.
"[McConnell] lost two seats in Georgia, didn't fight for the presidency, and now gave away our most powerful negotiating tool—the Debt Ceiling," he added."Other than fundraising, where he buys senatorial support, the Broken Old Crow is a loser, and very bad for the Republican Party!"
