Donald Trump criticized former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for extending the debt ceiling to June 2025, calling it “one of the dumbest political decisions” in years.

Trump argued the move shifted responsibility for the debt ceiling crisis from the Biden administration to Republicans, blaming it for McCarthy’s loss of the Speakership.

Trump urged immediate action to shift blame back to Democrats.
