Former President Donald Trump issued a statement on Tuesday calling on Republicans in the Senate to defeat President Joe Biden’s social spending and climate bill by using the federal debt limit as leverage.
Trump lashed out at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), saying that he should do everything in his power to stop Democrats from raising the federal debt ceiling.
“Old Crow Mitch McConnell, who is getting beaten on every front by the Radical Left Democrats since giving them a two-month delay which allowed them to ‘get their act together,’ must be fully prepared to use the DEBT CEILING in order to totally kill the Democrat’s new Social Spending (Wasting!) Bill, which will change our Country forever,” Trump said, according to The Hill.
Trump has long been critical of McConnell and other Republicans who have supported Biden’s infrastructure bill, which the president claims is bipartisan.
“Mitch and the Republican Senators had them beaten, but didn’t know it, and we ended up with the Unfrastructure Bill, which is only 11% infrastructure,” Trump said. “Worse, he allowed a splitting of the Bills (with 19 votes, including himself), which makes the Dems path for the even worse Bill a much easier one. Use the Debt Ceiling, Mitch, show strength and courage. Our Country is being destroyed.”
Earlier this month, Trump called out McConnell for allowing the infrastructure bill to pass.
“Its actual cost is over $2 Trillion, but the bigger disaster is yet to come in the next, much larger version of the Green New Deal, which some people say will be $5 Trillion. This was all allowed by Mitch McConnell’s incompetence…,” Trump said, according to The New York Post.
Trump also said that if McConnell “wasn’t so stupid” and hadn’t agreed to an extension for Democrats, “he could have stopped it all.”
“This is the Broken Old Crow’s fault,” Trump stated, adding that Democrats were ready “to fold” with the debt ceiling last month.
“Use the Debt Ceiling like it should have been used, you Old Broken Crow, to do so would hurt our Country far less than this horrible Bill,” Trump concluded. “Any Republican in the House or Senate who votes for this Bill will never ever get a Trump Endorsement. Thank you, and good luck!”
Since leaving the White House, Trump has made it his mission to expose RINOs and get them out of office. McConnell will certainly not be happy to see the former president’s latest attack on him.

“RINOs” are plants by the Democrat Party. They define what the word “traitor” means in its fullest capacity. They charade as conservatives and switch their clothing as soon as they are elected. Trump is correct that these Sylvesters need to go. The sooner the better.
Look , the democrats are illegally in power, they rigged the elections, the entire planet knows that fact, even our 98% one party propaganda brain washing news cannot convince common sense people anything different. Their planned in 2020 road to economic disaster bill, will be passed, and it will be followed by our planned economic collapse. When that day arrives and it will, democrats whom many are Global new world order communist, will demand membership in the United Nations Global country. At the same time, we as the once free people, by any means possible must restore the republic, by their arrest for endless acts of treason and the on purpose negligence murder caused by their open borders, their arrest to be followed by fair trials. When the collapse arrives, they must be met with charges for treason, not a Global communist celebration for the new world order. Many congressional members invested in the green new deal months prior their rigging our elections, an evil plan for wealth at our destruction. It is not new, the “Build Back Better,” slogan is a term taken from the United Nations Global communist, it was not created by those whom rigged our elections. America has a cancer, to her most basic freedoms and justice it forces its’ will upon us without our consent. God protect from this evil we peacefully pray.
RINO Mitch does Zero
DJT never understood how to govern, nor the importance of the “full faith & credit of the US and how it relates to the overall worldwide economy. He was illprepared and lacked the knowledge because he did not read or prepare for briefings. As an ex-president he is no better and all he does, like the loud mouth that he is, is threaten & bully. He only wants to hear himself, with no thought of governing.
The old Crow should be baked & put in the blackbird pie & served at the next Jackass convention. He is truly one of their own. The poster boy for a Rhino spy.
We need to pass a bill that will make all bills one Item so there won’t be any bill that can’t stand on it’s own be allowed to pass on other bills ! This is what happens , we get junk passed that only works for the industry and we get nothing for all the money spent.
Trump will go nowhere if he continues to call people names with such disrespect. Very unprofessional. I like most of Trump’s policies, but OH! his mouth! Stuff like this is right even with Ilhan Omar, Maxine Waters, and Whoopi, more big mouths.
Convincing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of something is impossible. The only way to change the influence of a senator on the Republican Senate is to elect a different Senate leader. And since this is impossible, it makes no sense for Trump to address any demand to Mitch McConnell, he will not hear Trump.
