Louisiana Senator John Kennedy knows a problem when he sees one.
In Kennedy’s mind there is but one solution.
And John Kennedy predicted Donald Trump would have to make this one daring move.
Kennedy says Trump will have to come to D.C.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump tanked House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) scheme to lard up a continuing resolution with all of Joe Biden’s policy priorities to win Democrat votes instead of negotiating with his conservatives to pass a Republican government funding bill that cuts spending.
Johnson’s bill would have jammed Trump with a bad debt ceiling deal that prevented Trump from enacting key campaign promises like no taxes on tips, no taxes on social security benefits, and extending the 2017 tax cuts.
Speaker Johnson needed to go back to the drawing board and kept plotting to come up with ways to avoid a government shut down.
Trump argued to shut the government down now since it’s on Joe Biden’s watch.
“If there is going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now, under the Biden Administration, not after January 20th, under ‘TRUMP.’ This is a Biden problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it, they will!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Ultimately, many of them did join with Democrats to help keep the federal government’s doors open, at least temporarily, but Senator Kennedy discussed this fiscal showdown on Fox News where he said there was really only one solution.
Kennedy slams Johnson for “spending porn”
Kennedy dinged Speaker Johnson for engaging in “spending porn” by giving away the store to Democrats in agenda items such as funding the global censorship protocols that suppress conservative speech online.
“I mean, it’s a multiple vehicle pile up. I knew as soon as I saw the bill there was going to be trouble. The thing was as big as a Costco and Speaker Johnson had to add a lot of spending porn to get the Democrats on board. This can be fixed. If I were king for a day, I’m not and I don’t aspire to be, but here’s what I’d do,” Kennedy declared.
Kennedy said the only way to solve this mess would be to get Donald Trump into Washington, D.C. – since no one is even pretending that Joe Biden is a functioning President – to sit down with Congressional leaders and hash out an agreement that allows Trump to hit the ground running when he takes office on January 20.
“First, I would tell everybody to take their meds. Number two, I think President Trump is going to have to consider coming to Washington. I mean, let’s face it, he’s the president now. It’s not President Biden. President Trump needs to sit down with Mike Johnson and John Thune and come up with a new skinny CR,” Kennedy concluded.
Normally the sitting President would be expected to resolve a fiscal negotiation.
The Wall Street Journal publishing a story exposing the lengths to which Biden’s handlers hid the truth about his mental incapacity from the public means no one takes Biden seriously as a leader.
Speaker Johnson blew it kowtowing to Democrats even though he knew Biden was senile as opposed to working with President-elect Trump to come to an agreement that Republicans could live with.
