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.

    A broken clock will be correct at some point unless the only thing broken about it is the time it has been set to.

    I.e. a perfect clock with the wrong time is never correct, but that is the only instance if a clock that is never correct (save dumb edge case like an unplugged digital clock or something).

    Fun math, thanks.
