Trump tanks House GOP spending deal ahead of government shutdown | LiveNOW from FOX

President-elect Trump joined Elon Musk in opposing House Speaker Mike Johnson’s proposed bill to keep the government funded.

Trump released a statement with Vice-president elect J.D. Vance, writing, “Republicans must get smart and tough. If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then call their bluff.”

“This chaos would not be happening if we had a real president. We will in 32 days!” the statement added.

The massive 1,500-page bill was on the verge of collapse already, according to the Associated Press.

Musk attacked the bill on social media, arguing the 1,547-page document “should not pass.”

The legislation is designed to avoid a government shutdown and fund the government through March.
