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.
@kevin_smith45@DemocraticWins And yet, still far behind the BAD BEHAVIOR of the Repubs! Democrats will hold Swalwell to account if he is guilty. They won’t try to hide him and cover up - like MAGATS would!
@DJacobsFlorida@SmoothCat@NUCLRGOLF 45/47 has made it a terrible time to be alive - all the de-funding he is doing on Medicare/Medicaid and food programs for the poor - attempting to de-fund intelligent radio and TV programming like PBS - seriously?
@DJacobsFlorida@Kyle_Tasman@NUCLRGOLF MANY individuals ( including many professionals) believe that the incident involving his ear was a false flag - as evidenced by no scar - and for his 42 felonies, he SHOULD be in jail, NOT the White House. Even Pope Leo doesn’t think that the Lord and 45/47 don’t belong together!
