Trump lashes out at former ally Kevin McCarthy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : Now it becomes ours,' Trump said.
48% : The bipartisan legislation suspended the debt ceiling until 2025 while also capping federal spending and clawing back some COVID relief funds.
36% : In the end, Johnson put forward a slimmed down deal that addressed government spending but left out the debt limit provision.
35% : Trump has been demanding that lawmakers move to raise the debt limit before he is sworn in, so he does not have to deal with it at the start of his second term, but some GOP lawmakers have pushed back.
27% : Addressing the debt limit could be one of the first and most challenging hurdles Trump and Republicans face early next year with almost no room for error if they want to avoid economic catastrophe.
25% : Earlier this month, as lawmakers were rushing to pass a spending deal to avoid a separate government shutdown days before Christmas, Trump left members of Congress and Speaker Mike Johnson scrambling in the 11th hour when he suddenly publicly demanded the deal include a provision to address the looming debt limit.
21% : 'The Democrats must be forced to take a vote on this treacherous issue NOW, during the Biden Administration, and not in June,' Trump wrote in his post.
15% : But lawmakers will now have to address the debt limit moving forward, and Johnson's move could come back to haunt him in his own caucus as some question whether he should remain speaker even as Trump has endorsed Johnson to remain in the position.
9% : Trump on Sunday said the debt ceiling deal reached between the former speaker and President Biden in 2023 will go down 'will go down as one of the dumbest political decisions made in years.'
