Donald Trump and JD Vance issued a joint statement Wednesday slamming Congress's over 1,500-page spending package introduced late Tuesday evening loaded with pork for Democrat power grabs, Big Pharma and more.

"The most foolish and inept thing ever done by Congressional Republicans was allowing our country to hit the debt ceiling in 2025. It was a mistake and is now something that must be addressed," the president-elect and vice-president elect wrote in a message posted to Truth Social and X.

"Meanwhile, Congress is considering a spending bill that would give sweetheart provisions for government censors and for Liz Cheney. The bill would make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt January 6 committee—which accomplished nothing for the American people and hid security failures that happened that day. This bill would also give Congress a pay increase while many Americans are struggling this Christmas."

The pair went on to acknowledge while raising the debt ceiling is not ideal, a debate on spending should be had now during outgoing Democrat President Joe Biden's tenure when Democrats may be more willing to negotiate in order to avoid a government shutdown.

"If Democrats won't cooperate on the debt ceiling now, what makes anyone think they would do it in June during our administration? Let's have this debate now. And we should pass a streamlined spending bill that doesn't give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want."

"Republicans want to support our farmers, pay for disaster relief, and set our country up for success in 2025. The only way to do that is with a temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS combined with an increase in the debt ceiling. Anything else is a betrayal of our country," the Trump team wrote.

Ahead of the statement it was reported Trump was "totally against" the bill.
