Trump likes to claim he made the world respect us. If that were true, why are there so many trump protests?

• Tax Cuts: A second round of Trump tax cuts is projected to add over $4 trillion to the national debt when accounting for interest costs and potential extensions of the policies.
• Spending Measures: Domestic spending legislation is estimated by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to add more than $4 trillion to the national debt over 10 years, according to ABC News.
• Campaign Promises: Fully enacting Trump's campaign promises could lead to an increase of nearly $6 trillion in debt over 10 years, according to estimates by Morgan Stanley.

Read this "revised" CBO estimate. Now the add to the Debt is $2.4T, or $240b a year. Tariff revenue is over $300b a year.

Data shows the US national debt has significantly increased in recent years, including during Trump's second term.
Here's a summary of the debt increase, particularly in July 2025:

• National Debt: As of July 3, 2025, the national debt stood at $36.2 trillion.
• Debt-to-GDP Ratio: The debt-to-GDP ratio was 119.4% at the end of the second quarter of 2025 (June 30).
• Recent Increase: The federal government borrowed $1.9 trillion between August 2024 and July 2025. This amount is roughly 6.5% of GDP.
• July 2025 Deficit: The deficit in July 2025 was $289 billion, an increase of $45 billion compared to July 2024.
• Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill": Analysts project that this bill, which Trump signed in July 2025, will add $2.4–$3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. This is due to provisions like tax revenue losses and front-loaded spending.
• Interest Costs: Interest payments on the debt are projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2035. Interest costs in 2024 alone were $1.1 trillion.

In short, the national debt has increased significantly during Trump's second term, and the "One Big Beautiful Bill" passed in July 2025 is expected to further contribute to this increase

Trump's budget won't start until October, those Debt adds are on Biden until Trump's fiscal year starts.

The federal government's gross national debt topped $37 trillion for the first time in history last week, and the U.S. has room to add trillions of dollars more to the debt following the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).2 days ago

US debt tops $37 trillion and the 'big, beautiful bill' allows it to ...​

We'll see how the deficits look after the BBB takes effect in October.

World leaders laugh at him. Our allies have massive protests against him and his actions. Respect didn't cause all those things to happen.

And a bunch of people believed that paper masks protected from Covid, that vaccines stopped the spread, and that Biden was sharp as a tack.

Stupid people believe what they are told.
