🚨TRUMP CHRISTMAS WISHES - A "MERRY CHRISTMAS" TO "EVERYONE"... WITH A MESSAGE TO THE WORLD

- On China and the Panama canal: “To the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal… the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in ‘repair’ money but will have absolutely nothing to say about ‘anything.’” - On Canada: “To Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World.” - On Greenland: “To the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and who want the U.S. to be there, and we will!” Closing Note: “We had the Greatest Election in the History of our Country… and, in 26 days, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. MERRY CHRISTMAS!” Will US imperialism be one of the major theme of 2025??? Source: Truth Social, @mario nawfal on X

BREAKING - Trump tells NBC he'd support abolishing the debt ceiling, calling it 'the smartest thing Congress could do' and suggesting it's more psychological than practical.

President-elect Donald Trump expressed support for abolishing the debt ceiling, calling it a "meaningless concept" that Congress should eliminate entirely. Speaking to NBC News, Trump suggested that removing the debt ceiling would be the "smartest thing" lawmakers could do and offered to lead the charge if Democrats pursue it. He also criticized a recent funding deal reached by Congress, labeling it a "Democrat trap" and questioning House Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership. Trump suggested a potential government shutdown could help set the stage for his administration, and revealed he had discussed the funding deal with Elon Musk, aligning their views on cost-related issues.
