President-elect Donald Trump criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson’s proposed spending bill, joining other Republican hardliners and public figures in opposition. With a government shutdown looming on December 21, Johnson and the GOP-controlled House are pushing the 1,500-page bill to fund the government through March 14.
Conservative lawmakers argue the bill is fiscally irresponsible and does not address the national debt. Elon Musk also condemned the bill, calling it an “insane crime against the American people.” Trump’s opposition highlights ongoing Republican divisions over fiscal policy and spending priorities as the deadline approaches.
