Donald Trump the First Debtor: Federal debt is projected to increase by 38% in Trump's 4-year tenure

[charwin95]

That is a better record than the worthless incompetent Muslim Negro that these stupid Moon Bats elected for all the wrong reasons.

At least Trump is giving us a great economy for the debt. All we got out of the affirmative action Negro for the $10 trillion in debt was more poverty, less family income and dismal economic growth.

Great economy ?? That's why he begs the FED's Powell to reduce rates ? As the latest Republican candidate to enter the ring said "Trump doesn't know what the fuk he's doing""

/—-/ The Fed is and always had screwed up the economy by micro-managing it with rate hikes and cuts. And President Trump doesn’t beg anyone for anything.

Sure he does. If not he uses his unprofessional threats tweets to negotiate.
What kind of leader is that?

/—-/ Provide proof or slither away with your worthless opinions.

I understand truth hurts.,

What opinion do you have?

 

[charwin95]

And I will not vote..... for a corrupted, inept, lying bastard, hypocrite racist piece of shit president.

^^^ TDS victim. Are you sure you covered all the liberal talking points? Can you back up any of your frothing at the mouth claims?

Sure. One of my favorite.

Trumpy hypocrite policy. Hire Americans Buy Americans.

His Maralago golf course and vineyards are full of foreigners.
His products are made overseas.

A clear good example of a lying bastard hypocrite POTUS.

/——/ He hires whom ever shows up. Move to Florida and apply for a job if you’re so torn up about it. And for the 100th time, the official Trump store products are made in the USA, so stop lying.

He claimed nobody applied. Do you know why he said that?

Donald Trump promised to eliminate debt in 8 years. So far he is wrong-headed and directionless as he is increasing debt remorselessly.

Donald Trump described the debt as a time bomb and he is priming the bomb.

Not one cent has been spent on infrastructure, which was one of Donald Trump's key election policy issues.

"Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore," especially Donald Trump who is now considering reducing payroll taxes which will further inflate the budget deficit.

Trump's government spends nearly as much paying interest on national debt as it spends on nation's children

TRUMP'S GOVERNMENT SPENDS NEARLY AS MUCH PAYING INTEREST ON NATIONAL DEBT AS IT SPENDS ON NATION'S CHILDREN
BY NICOLE GOODKIND ON 8/13/19 AT 7:26 PM EDT

President Donald Trump signed a budget deal last week that will add another $1.7 trillion to the national debt, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Despite promising to wipe out the national debt in eight years during his presidential campaign, the president has added an estimated $4.1 trillion to the country's debt within his first two and a half years in office.
Interest paid on the increasing national debt has surged, already surpassing the total spent all last year.
Net interest paid on the national debt has jumped up nearly $20 billion to $343 billion in the first 10 months of this fiscal year, already surpassing the $325 billion spent all of last year.
For comparison, in 2018, the federal government spent about $375 billion on children under the age of 19, according to the Urban Institute's Kids' Share report.
Projections find that the federal government spends about $1,200 per American on interest.
The president defended his actions on Twitter, claiming that there would be time to cut the budget later, after the 2020 election. "Budget Deal is phenomenal for our Great Military, our Vets, and Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!" he wrote. "Two year deal gets us past the Election. Go for it Republicans, there is always plenty of time to CUT!"

But fiscal hawks warn that time is running out. "This deal ignores our large and growing fiscal imbalances and is a step in the wrong direction for our economy. We're already heading towards trillion dollar annual deficits, so adding more to the debt is the last thing we need," wrote Michael Peterson, CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.
Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, issued a stern warning to politicians on both side of the aisle. "Going forward, neither side can claim a mantle of responsible governing, and few have any moral ground to stand on—this is a bipartisan failure," she wrote of the budget deal. "With the national debt rising to historic levels—soon to overtake the size of our entire economy and beyond—and with our largest programs, Social Security and Medicare, spinning toward insolvency, our nation's answer is to make the problem worse at every turn."

Rush Limbaugh, a conservative shock jock and friend of the president, said last month that debt was no longer a priority for Republicans, and that it never had been. "Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore," he said on his radio show. "All this talk about concern for the deficit and the budget has been bogus for as long as it's been around."

Because Donald Trump was given hundreds of millions of dollars it just shows how much damage a loser can cause.
A guy who admits he’s the king of debt, who goes bankrupt over and over and over again.
A guy who puts personal gain over the welfare of the entire United States.

Do you get paid for whining constantly and posting BS, or is that just your nature?

Truth is your Kryptonite. You are engorged by lies and blithering nonsense uttered and published by Donald 'W' Trump.

/—-/ Of course if you had any examples, you would have posted them. All you have is hot air.

Hot air? From a keyboard?

Your mind has been clouded by Donald Trump's lies that are causing you crazed fantasies.

The only hot air you are sensing is from your own bountiful anal emissions.

/----/ You speak in slogans, cliches, and gibberish. Calling it hot air is being kind.

Donald Trump promised to eliminate debt in 8 years. So far he is wrong-headed and directionless as he is increasing debt remorselessly.

Donald Trump described the debt as a time bomb and he is priming the bomb.

Not one cent has been spent on infrastructure, which was one of Donald Trump's key election policy issues.

"Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore," especially Donald Trump who is now considering reducing payroll taxes which will further inflate the budget deficit.

Trump's government spends nearly as much paying interest on national debt as it spends on nation's children

Because Donald Trump was given hundreds of millions of dollars it just shows how much damage a loser can cause.
A guy who admits he’s the king of debt, who goes bankrupt over and over and over again.
A guy who puts personal gain over the welfare of the entire United States.

If only he weren’t the perfect Republican.

/—-/ Trump never went bankrupt. WTF are you whining about now?

Do you get paid for posting Trump propaganda on USMB?

Do you get paid for whining constantly and posting BS, or is that just your nature?

Truth is your Kryptonite. You are engorged by lies and blithering nonsense uttered and published by Donald 'W' Trump.

Yep, and thank you for uttering that piece of blithering nonsense, dumbass.
