Despite Trump's promised cuts, U.S. spent more than $200 billion more in first 100 days than last year
Despite promises to cut spending during the campaign and his first few months in office, President Trump's federal government has spent more than $200 billion more in his first 100 days compared to the same time period last year.
In fact, the government is now spending more, day to day, than was spent in nine of the last 10 years.
Some Trump supporters might say that it is necessary to spend money at first in order to get the benefits later but what Trump did recently (order a totally unneeded and self agrandazing military parade at a cost to the government of $45 million dollars) is a clear example that Trump's promises are empty and simply a con job to get votes, or an ego trip, or just to profit for himself using his position as president.
and here is ANOTHER example that Trump is using his position not to help Americans but help himself. This is the new Trump perfume (for $199) that was announced available yesterday (June 30,2025)

AI OverviewRecent reports, primarily based on an Associated Press review of global trade records, indicate that Donald Trump's "God Bless the USA" Bibles were printed in China at an estimated cost of less than $3 per Bible.
Here's a breakdown of the information:
- Production Location: Thousands of copies of the Bible, sold for $59.99, were printed by a company in Hangzhou, China.
If all this action by Trump does not show you what his intentions are (being a conman and using his position as president to help himself), then you are being blind-by-choice.
