On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” network contributor Brit Hume said President Donald Trump “got rolled” in his debt ceiling deal with Democratic leaders House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, (D-NY).
Hume said, “No doubt Chuck and Nancy were happy. He got rolled. The president got rolled and his administration, therefore, got rolled because as you pointed out correctly doing the short-term deal attached to the Hurricane Harvey money, which was a must pass and therefore a good vehicle to do a longer debt limit extension and perhaps other things as well, is now a three month deal and we are right back where we started except the Hurricane Harvey leverage when December rolls around. It’s a terrible deal, and I think the president wanted to sign something so he got something to sign but he got rolled.”
