Former President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that Republicans should have waited longer to get more concessions from Democrats in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.
He made the remarks while delivering a speech at a Des Moines, Iowa, venue. It's the first time he's been in the state this election cycle, canceling a planned rally last month due to a tornado warning.
"We should have gone through a little more pain, perhaps, over the last few days to get maybe a deal done — if you understand what I mean," Trump told the crowd. "But that's OK."
