Trump and Vance blame Biden for Elon Musk causing chaos

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance blame President Biden for the havoc Elon Musk caused over the government spending bill.

JD Vance posted this statement attributed to Trump and Vance:

The dumbest and dumbest thing congressional Republicans ever did was let our country hit the debt ceiling in 2025. That was a mistake and it's something we need to pay attention to now.

Meanwhile, Congress is debating a spending bill that would make it easier for government censors and Liz Cheney to cover up the corrupt committee records that did nothing for the American people and cover up the security failures that occurred that day The bill would also give Congress a pay raise while many Americans are struggling this Christmas.

Raising the debt ceiling isn't great, but we'd rather do it on Biden's watch. If the Democrats won't cooperate on the debt ceiling now, what makes anyone think they will in June under our administration? Let's have this debate now. And we need to pass a streamlined spending bill that won't give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want.

Republicans want to support our farmers, pay for disaster relief, and make our country successful in 2025. The only way to do that is with a DEMOCRATIC GIFTS combined with a debt ceiling hike. Anything else is a betrayal of our country.

The Republicans should become SMARTER and STRONGER. If the Democrats are threatening to shut down the government if we don't give them everything they want, CALL THEIR BLUFF. That's Schumer and Biden who are withholding aid to our farmers and disaster victims.

THIS CHAOS WOULD NOT HAPPEN IF WE HAD A REAL PRESIDENT. WE IN 32 DAYS!

Just a reminder that Donald Trump oversaw the longest government shutdown in US history.The 35-day shutdown cost the US economy $11 billion.

The person responsible for this chaos is not Joe Biden, but Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire who knows nothing about government.

Trump shows that he can't fix anything. His only skill is breaking things. Donald Trump was more than happy to let CR pass until Elon Musk started getting all the attention, so he had to remind everyone that all eyes should be on him.Thanks to Musk, Trump owns this mess and all the volatility it causes.
