Steve Bannon, a former advisor to Trump, criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson for failing to advance Trump's proposed legislation. The bill, intended to extend Trump's tax cuts and raise the debt ceiling, faced significant opposition from fiscal conservatives within the GOP. Bannon's remarks underscore a broader rift in the party, as he contended that the proposed legislation lacked sufficient spending cuts. He urged a reevaluation of the fiscal strategy, emphasizing that external pressures, such as bond market reactions, complicate the political landscape for Trump and House leadership.
The math simply doesn't work right now, Bannon said on his show, adding: There hasn't been smart cuts, haven't been enough cuts. Just look at the math, look at independent do any assessment.
President Trump has got a fiasco created by Johnson and clowns in the House that he has to fix.
We want to do is make our own decisions, have the president make his own decisions and not have pressure from the bond market, which we're going to have.
Forget that. I'm talking about our people. The math simply doesn't work right now.
