In President Trump's first two months he has shaved 100 billion from debt

[Bushtuckrman]

Compared to 400 billion added to the national debt in the first two months of Obama's administration.

How will the shills and lefty's spin this against Trump? Who knows but they will try. Have the Trump haters here even read his art of the deal book???



inb4 'b-b-but muh GFC', people forget what happened during that time or too young to have known at the time.

What specific policies made the debt shrink?

The magic of his Trumpiness according to his worshipers.

[Azadina]

How much of that has gone in his own pockets?

[PosPosPos]

Better question, what's wrong with national debt?

[Turaska]

No he hasn't.

http://www.teenvogue.com/story/donal...-national-debt - and that was back in February, are you really so naive that you think he has dropped debt by that much in the little time he's been in office?

Pretty sure he'll continue to take credit for anything positive that happens which he had literally no hand in tbh.

[Jalatiphra]

just because he was president at the time the dept lowered doesnt mean he is responsible for that.
People who think that have not understood that such systems have a lag - same as computer games. However the time until a new policy starts to reflect on your numbers in reality can vary between weeks to month to years.
So its much more likely that something obama did and trump did not yet revoke is responsible for this.

Not stating it as a fact but a possiblity.

Anyone who does not doubt trump is responsible or obama is responsible lacks critical thinking skills.

His budget was not put in action.

[Wyrt]

Um, Trump hasn't implemented any of his economic policies and his budget was just recently presented. So I don't understand how you can claim he reduced the debt. Is him being president just magically reducing the debt or something?

And of course the debt went up during Obama's first term, the Republicans had just crashed the economy before he took office.

I don't really know American Economics that well, but you could shave quite a bunch off the national debt, I'm sure, by selling all your military equipment to foreign countries and not paying for any more public services. Fire department, police, schools, road maintainance, etc. That would be a terrible, terrible idea. You could come onto a forum and be like "look, we've taken a trillion dollars off the national debt in like 2 weeks!" but it'd be a really bad choice in many cases, right?

Not that that's what he's done, but you get the point. Where has the money come from is kind of the important thing.

Since Trump took office, the sun has risen every day! Try to spin THAT, LIBRULZ.

P.S. Obama added debt after bailing out the auto/bank industries. Try harder.

Notice how Trump's supporters have masochistic/self-defeating personalities and tendencies.

Well non of his world ending polices and idea's have been put in place yet since he spend more time chasing ghost these past 2 months (/sigh) then actually working.

Chasing ghosts?

Please, if only he were doing just that, he's spending taxpayer money running off to his Mar-a-Lago resort every other week.

plus this, who is actually bloody surprised that the right-wing provides misleading alternative-facts

[Captain N]

In American News today Trump supporters fail to understand how debt works....in other news Trump's approval rating has dropped to 37%.

The March 18 survey showed Trump's approval rating at 37 percent. His disapproval rating was at 58 percent, the highest point since he became president in January.

If you are trying to bash Skroe, the "foreign Trump fan" refers to bushtuckrman and Teen Vogue references and supports the findings of politifact.
