Has the National Debt Fallen by $102 Billion Since Donald Trump's Inauguration?
FACT CHECK: Has the National Debt Fallen by $102 Billion Since Donald Trump's Inauguration?
The national debt saw a "surprising" decline of $102 billion between 20 January and 27 July 2017.
On 30 July 2017, the conservative
Truth Division web site reported that the United States’ national debt had fallen to a “surprising” extent in the seven months since the inauguration of President Donald Trump:
President Donald Trump and his administration are undoing the government’s rampant spending that occurred under former President Obama’s watch.
According the U.S. Treasury’s direct record, a surprising amount of money has been saved over the course of seven months. On January 20th, the day Trump was inaugurated, the total debt was $19,947,304,555,212.49. On July 30th, seven short months later, it’s at $19,844,938,940,351.37. Overall the debt has decreased by $102,365,614,861.12.
We have checked these numbers and set them in context, and found that the national debt did indeed fall by $102 billion between 20 January and the end of July 2017.
This decline is also historically remarkable, in both absolute and percentage terms. This six-month fall in the national debt is also significant when measured against the size of the overall economy.
