'The country is being destroyed by stupid people': Donald Trump says

Donald Trump torched the Democrats running America, saying this country is being run by stupid people and he wasn't wrong! At least not in my opinion. We might be living in the dumbest times ever and I think you know all the reasons why. Trump was taking a question and talking to CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins when this conversation too place. Real Clear Politics transcribed the discussion and posted it:

QUESTION: My question is what do you think about the United States' current debt situation and how can we move forward?

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Suck an important question. So we're at $33 trillion, a number nobody ever thought possible. When we had our economy rocking and rolling just prior to COVID coming in, literally we were making a fortune. And oil, we were going to make so much money from oil, we were going to start paying off debt, but then with COVID coming in we had to do other things. We had to keep this country alive because it was so serious but we have to get the country back.

We have to lower energy prices. We have to lower interest rates. Interest rates are through the roof. Energy has to come down, it all has to come down and we have to start paying off debt. But when we have a debt limit, and they use that very seriously. Schumer came in with Nancy Pelosi, and they were using, we'll violate it, we'll do whatever -- they talked a whole lot different than they do right now.

I say to the Republicans out there, Congressman, Senators, if they don't give you massive cuts, you're going to have to do a default, and I don't believe they're going to do a default because I think the Democrats will absolutely cave because you don't want to have that happen, but it's better than what we're doing right now because we're spending money like drunken sailors.

KAITLIN COLLINS, CNN: So just to be clear, Mr. President, you think the U.S. should default if the White House does not agree to the spending cuts Republicans are demanding?

TRUMP: We might as well do it now because you'll do it later because we have to save this country. Our country is dying. Our country is being destroyed by stupid people. By very stupid people.

COLLINS: You once said using the debt ceiling as a negotiating wedge just could not happen.

TRUMP: Sure, that's when I was president.

COLLINS: So why is it different now when you're out of office?

TRUMP: Because now I'm not president.
