Congress raised the debt ceiling three times under President Donald Trump. Yet, former President Trump is encouraging the Red Team to trash America's credit rating.
"Old Crow Mitch McConnell ... must be fully prepared to use the DEBT CEILING in order to totally kill the Democrat's new Social Spending (Wasting!) Bill, which will change our Country forever," Trump said. "Use the Debt Ceiling, Mitch, show strength and courage."
Trump's scorched earth strategies feed his insatiable ego. He does not care that they would harm his very supporters.
Using the debt ceiling as a political weapon, however, could well endanger the still-recovering economy. If the ceiling isn't lifted ahead of the deadline, the government could default on its multitrillion-dollar debt pile. Payments to federal workers and service members would freeze, as would Social Security benefits. Borrowing costs would skyrocket as the world loses faith in the US dollar's worth.
Trump burns anything in the path of his nonstop goal to increase his power and wealth. The Lord will have to handle him. He cannot take with him whatever ungodly sums he achieves on this earth. That applies to all people, even the super wealthy and politically powerful.
Update 12-9-21: Trump shill Senator Lindsey Graham warned fellow Red Team senators they will incur the wrath of the former President if they allow Democrats to raise the debt ceiling.
