Trump’s legacy: $8 trillion-plus in added debt in one term

[clivesbigbiceps]

Before Trump took office, he railed against the debt. Shortly before winning the White House, he likened its high level to a “time bomb.”

“I will tell you, we are sitting on a time bomb,” he told CBS in June 2016, adding that “I don’t like debt for the country.”

Trump in 2016 vowed to eliminate the federal debt over an eight-year period. At the time, the federal government's debt was over $19 trillion, and most economists thought Trump's pledge ludicrous.

To Capretta, Trump’s actions have been fiscally reckless.

“Trump saw that it would be to his political advantage to be very liberal in terms of spending and tax reductions happening simultaneously,” he said.

Another false promise. Death and debt will be Trump's legacy.

It's interesting that anything that doesn't fit your version of reality must be either fake news or TDS. It can't be that your God emperor failed or lied to you.

Meanwhile libs are screeching for more spending.

"In his first year of entering office, Trump signed into law a tax overhaul bill that added $1.9 trillion to the debt over a 10-year period, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the bookkeeper for Congress.

He also increased annual spending, by nearly $800 billion, from $3.85 trillion in 2016 to $4.65 trillion in 2020 (before pandemic relief), according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan organization that examines the spending habits in Washington."

It takes more than just Drumpf to pull this off. Entire establishment needs to be erradicated. No more "voting in one or two people" when these sellouts take the brunt of the blame for something. Moving one or two chess pieces isn't going to solve the entire game. We need to oust everyone, top-to-bottom.

Trump's purpose was to get enough conservatives on board with the coronavirus hoax, which will ultimately lead to the Great Reset.

Notice how Trump has never once mentioned the Great Reset? It's not a coincidence. He's controlled opposition.

[Vito-C]

Trump was a catastrophic failure fiscally and in no way a conservative. His spending was just as bad as Obama’s if not worse.

Once COVID hit he went full corporate socialist.

He fooled people such as myself into voting for him with his false debt reduction mantra. There was no point in voting between two sets of left-leaning presidential candidates a second time.

[Weightaholic]

It is true. Trump was a failure. I hoped he would have followed through what he said in 2016, but once in office he kept backtracking and became spineless. He did more for Israel than he did for the american people. Took obama's economic playbook(QE) and put it on steroids. Don't expect biden to do much different either.

The guys whole life is marked by hollow promises. Why did you think this would be any different?

Ah, so the virus was responsible for the deficit rising in 2017, 2018, and 2019 too? Record setting non-recessionary deficits at that.

[TrueTruth]

Leftist dirtbags are going to pretend that COVID had nothing to do with this. Pathetic liberal liars.

How did "He" increase the spending when the budget is written and passed by Congress?

Remember how the media massacred him when he refused to sign and the government was shut down?

You mean the Congress that, at the time, was Republican in the House and Senate? That kowtowed to Trump constantly?

[tripod29]

Libs love balanced budgets now.

Oh really? Then why wouldn't Trump have signed the budget instead of shutting down the government? Do you even think about the BS you post or just hit submit without an iota of retrospective?

[pandaboy89]

It’s ok they’ll just tax your sons and grandsons bro

You apparently have a lot of trouble with timelines. The 2018-2019 shutdown mostly occurred after the Democrats retook the House in the 2018 mid-terms. So, other than a few days, the Republicans did NOT have control of both houses of Congress. So yes, I did think about it but you are clearly struggling.

The President proposes the budget. Congress writes it after they come to an agreement with POTUS.

You should read and learn more. Knowledge is your friend.

trump is a walking contradiction and a fool.

He's not entitled to "his version of reality". Call it what it is, Fantasy and delusion.

[VinnyPazRules]

Pretty sure that's Paul Ryan and Nancy's legacy...

And this is why you lose

[5x10]

So obamas legacy is also his debt added by congress?

[Googooly]

Trump and his family are cancer. They have caused nothing but misery and pain for most people. Note I said “most”. The rest are spineless sheep with no control over their thoughts and decisions.
