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.
@GenXamerica@LeadingReport Good god, you prefer the Hitler-lite we got and his gestapo? Fucking amazing how anti-American the GOP has become. And how stupid. Those red hats eat brains.
How about billionaires pay taxes - so basic human services can meet people’s needs. How about federal subsides are not privatized for billionaires space joy rides -
"Trump is really about amassing power, and anything that might potentially restrain his power, he will destroy," David Brooks says. "That includes the court systems... it includes the universities, the scientific community, the truth, the media."https://t.co/q0uLta4N0K
