When a major credit ratings agency sounds the alarm on a government’s fiscal trajectory, a serious national leader listens. They explain. They reassure. They set out a plan.

Instead, he mocked the report’s authors, dismissed the warning, and pointed to a temporary budget surplus as if that were the end of the matter.
