Summary

Donald Trump called for abolishing the debt ceiling, labeling it a “psychological” concept with no real purpose.

He criticized a bipartisan short-term funding deal, calling it a “Democrat trap,” and signaled support for legislation to permanently end the debt ceiling.

Trump had previously raised the ceiling during his first term and floated its elimination. Some Democrats, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, echoed support, citing the need to end “governing by hostage taking.”

Trump’s stance reflects concerns over upcoming legislative challenges in his second term.

    Is it was never right, that implies the clock is not broken, but merely set to the wrong time.

    A broken clock should either run fast, slow, or not at all…

    Either way, it would be right for a short amount of time.

      It depends on how broken it is.

      If you break the hands off the clock, it’s never right.
