Trump: Republicans Should Reject Any Debt Ceiling Deal To Ensure Obama Isn’t Re-Elected

Trump proposes that the GOP time debt ceiling votes and possibly let the country default all to sabotage Obama’s re-election chances. Such an amazingly reckless notion is not only playing games with the debt ceiling — it demonstrates a willingness to let the economy fail and millions of Americans suffer for political gain.

Trump is willing to gamble with the U.S. economy and bet that if the country defaults, Obama will take the blame and be remembered by history as the culprit. As host Brian Kilmead pointed out, that’s far from a sure thing. A series of polls show that the vast majority of Americans disapprove of how the Republicans have handled the debt ceiling situation and would put most of the blame at their feet if the country defaults.
