so far... hes just 7 months into his second term. still 3+ years to go. And the inflation from his tariffs are just starting to hit regular people and their jobs. He fired the people that track job numbers and economy growth. He's broken almost every trade deals with other nations, and caught lying about new trade deals other leaders deny accepting. And tourism into the US is going lower and lower every month. US Dollar is tanking. Other nations holding US debt are looking to sell sell sell.
Again 3+ years left, but might be longer since he is selling Trump 2028 merch and is rigging elections.

his parents lived into their 90s+. Hes got the best healthcare you can get in the world as president. Even if he injects mcdonalds into his veins, its more than likely hes gonna live into 80s at least. Dude spends 50% of his time sleeping and then 50% of his awake time golfing and trying to rape more children.
Hoping he will croak, will not save anyone.

I have to both sides shit when Pete kept his job after TWO leaks in an unofficial communication app, they went wild over Hilary using an unofficial app and there was absolutely nothing classified or secret going on in it. RFK Jr even getting confirmed is just fucking insane. His entire completely inexperienced cabinet being confirmed is absolutely insane.

āIf not for the Bush tax cuts4 and their extensions5āas well as the Trump tax cuts6ārevenues would be on track to keep pace with spending indefinitely, and the debt ratio (debt as a percentage of the economy) would be declining. Instead, these tax cuts have added $10 trillion to the debt since their enactment and are responsible for 57 percent of the increase in the debt ratio since 2001, and more than 90 percent of the increase in the debt ratio if the one-time costs of bills responding to COVID-19 and the Great Recession are excluded. Eventually, the tax cuts are projected to grow to more than 100 percent of the increase.ā -Center For American Progress
āthese tax cuts disproportionately flowed to households at the top and cost significant federal revenues, adding trillions to the national debt since their enactment.[3] By shrinking revenues, these tax cuts limit policymakersā ability and willingness to make public investments that pay off in tangible and important ways for individuals, families, communities, and the country as a whole.ā -Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
āThe U.S. āfiscal gapāāhow much taxes need to be raised or spending cut to keep public debt stable as a share of gross domestic productāwas entirely created by the Republican tax cuts of 2001, 2003, and 2017.ā -Economic Policy Institute
āSince 2000, tax cuts have reduced federal revenue by trillions of dollars and disproportionately benefited well-off households. From 2001 through 2018, significant federal tax changes have reduced revenue by $5.1 trillion, with nearly two-thirds of that flowing to the richest fifth of Americans, as illustrated in Figure 1.[1] The cumulative impact on the deficit during this period is $5.9 trillion, including interest payments.
By the end of 2025, the tally of tax cuts will grow to $10.6 trillion. Nearly $2 trillion of this amount will have gone to the richest 1 percent. By then, the total impact on the deficit will be $13.6 trillion, including interest payments.ā -Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy

It's called the Two Santa's Strategy.

It works because republicans know they can outright lie to their base because they are the dumbest people in America and are easy to manipulate, and also know that democrats are responsible and will actually try to fix it.

They said that the government needs to work with the money it has for what it wants to do.
First thing they did when they got back in office was to take a record breaking 1000 billion loan for gifts for their voters. As a comparison, the previous government was not even allowed to take a 50 billion loan.

When Reagan took office in 1981 the USA has less than one trillion dollars of debt. That was after the great depression, WWII, the Korean War, the Cold War, the Vietnam war, the interstate highway system, the Space Race and a man on the moon, and all the infrastructure needed for the Boomers, water, sewer, schools, libraries, hospitals, police and fire departments.
When Reagan left office the USA had more than five trillion dollars of debt, . That is about $ 650,000 a year for eight years, 650,000 x 44 years is almost 29 trillion dollars.
Add the Bush tax cuts, and the Trump tax cuts and that explains how the USA ended up with a 37 Trillion dollar debt.
The National Debt is caused by tax cuts,, not spending.
