Trump Slams Ryan, McConnell Over Debt Ceiling ‘Mess’
almost 7 years in Roll Call
Updated at 9:52 a.m. | President Donald Trump on Thursday criticized Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, saying they created a debt ceiling “mess” by refusing his advice.
After the White House and McConnell’s office on Wednesday denied a recent New York Times report about tensions — including a profanity-filled phone call — between the two, the president started Thursday by attacking the Senate leader.
