@isabelaimee@politicshome@UEL_News@Place2Be So they will play in a garden & miraculously learn algebra, understand periodicity and the periodic table., understand photosynthesis and respiration, know why the American civil war happened, speak a foreign language and understand the engineering principles of a car engine?
@NiallFraser8 The problem with being a right wing activist & a journalist is ethics & balance go out the window. Some of what you say is right but is not balanced and worse is just personal and vindictive. I don't like yourt posts. They don't educate me & you just appear boorish and petty.
Trump is now reportedly responsible for roughly 27.7% of the entire U.S. national debt accumulated under all presidents combined.
That is an astonishing figure historically.
The national debt just crossed $39 trillion.
President Trump has added roughly $12–13 trillion to the debt across his two terms in office.
That’s approximately 30% of ALL U.S. national debt accumulated since 1789.
In 2016, Trump said he would pay down the national debt “over a period of eight years.”
Instead:
- First term: +$7.8 trillion
- Second term: roughly +$4–5 trillion already
And yes, COVID affected first-term spending.
It does not explain adding another trillion dollars every five months without a pandemic.
A political movement built on:
“fiscal conservatism”
“small government”
“balanced budgets”
has now overseen the largest debt expansion tied to any single presidency in American history.
@Nigel_Farage@Deedy2201 Don't let Reform UK's false claims undermine our democracy. Greater Manchester Police found absolutely zero evidence of fraud in Gorton & Denton. Support Starmer's Labour government to protect honest, stable politics. Another reason to reject reform
@ForwardBritain_@Artemisfornow I note Farage is about selective opposition and is more populist in tone than solution focused. Opposition can be destructive or constructive. What is he really about?
@ForwardBritain_@Artemisfornow Laughable that anyone thinks Farage will save the UK financially or otherwise. Like Trump he will profit but the poor will stay poor and his rich buddies will get richer. He has no history of being in power only protesting from the sidelines.
@ForwardBritain_@Artemisfornow The current debt situation is far more nuanced than EU membership and I am afraid there is very clear evidence how damaging Brexit, which he championed and manipulated,has been to the UK economy. Don't think I was glazing Brown!
Farage has spent 20+ years in the European Parliament actually voting against the policies that ballooned UK debt and handed control to Brussels, while Brown sold 395 tonnes of our gold at the absolute bottom (£3.5bn loss) and helped fuel the 2008 crash with reckless spending.
“Protesting from the sidelines” is called opposition. It exposed the failures the establishment still denies. Reform’s surge isn’t because people love the status quo, it’s because they remember who wrecked it.
Results > rhetoric. History already judged Brown. Farage hasn’t had the chance yet. 🇬🇧
