  • In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump said getting rid of the debt ceiling entirely would be the "smartest thing it [Congress] could do. I would support that entirely."

In a recent interview with Fox News, former President Donald Trump called for the abolition of the U.S. debt ceiling, arguing that it creates unnecessary economic turmoil.
