I hate to say it but Trump is 100% right here. The debt ceiling is really dumb, and only exists to create crises in Washington that force some sort of compromise. Congress authorizes spending, then tries to blame the President for spending the money they authorized. And then we play a game of chicken with the global economy.
Trump being Trump, I'm pretty sure he would feel totally fine about minting a trillion-dollar coin to ignore the debt ceiling. And being a Lupin III fan, I'm totally down with this plan. (Also, The Simpsons had a $1T bill so it has been foretold.) Don't expect conservatism from Trump, especially not when there's money to be made.
