Congress has to act before the end of September to raise the debt ceiling or the government will default, which would be potentially catastrophic for the global economy. Republicans control the White House and both legislative bodies, but they haven’t yet come to terms on a bill that could make its way to POTUS for his signature. Trump put part of the blame on his own party last week, writing in a series of tweets, “I requested that Mitch M & Paul R tie the Debt Ceiling legislation into the popular V.A. Bill (which just passed) for easy approval. They didn’t do it so now we have a big deal with Dems holding them up (as usual) on Debt Ceiling approval. Could have been so easy-now a mess!” But Trump has complicated the process as well, saying at a rally in Phoenix last Tuesday, “If we have to close down our government, we’re building that wall,” referencing his long-sought investment in a stronger border barrier. Over the last seven days, “Trump + Debt Ceiling” has a 15 percent positive score on Social. –Alex Shultz
