As House Republicans wrangle cuts, one commentator claimed that former President Donald Trump never had to negotiate cuts.

In essence, these aren't the same types of cuts that we are seeing McCarthy advocate for. Whereas the cuts negotiated in 2019 were not linked to the threat of a default, the difficulty that Biden faces with McCarthy is that by choosing to veto the bill, the government could risk defaulting on the debt, which might have catastrophic effects on the U.S economy.that the cuts in the 2019 bill were part of a"broader budget deal on government spending levels that also raised the debt limit.

"This is a dangerous and disingenuous political stunt that threatens to undermine the global economy. Only one party plays this risky game. And they only do it when a Democrat is in the White House." So, although cuts were a part of one Trump debt ceiling negotiation, they would not have been realized during the scope of his presidency and could have been altered according to the economic priorities when they were meant to take effect.
