LESS TAXES ON RICH PEOPOL, GIVE TYRUMP ALL THE MONNIES
Seriously he couldn’t possible afford to eat unless you give him several billion more dollars in grift and bribe. Think of the poor fat fuck.

Spend too much to acquire a company, sell all you can, shift as much as possible to personal/hidden accounts, declare bankruptcy. My job here is done.

A cigar was a very small price to pay for how the economy looked under Clinton
Really impressive when you looked up GDP for 2025 bs 1947
In 2025, the U.S. nominal GDP reached approximately $30.76 trillion. In 1947, the nominal GDP was approximately $249.6 billion.
So 100% GDP in 1947 is about 0.8% of GDP of 2025.

Well, inflation will reduce the national debt in real terms over time. So we really need to hand it to the president – his policies massively increasing the national debt will be offset by his other policies that massively increase inflation /s

Here’s the thing that his cult refuses to acknowledge about Donald Trump: IT’S NOT JUST ONE CASINO.
“Donald Trump’s casino businesses filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection several times between 1991 and 2009, involving a total of four to six distinct casino properties or entities, mainly in Atlantic City. These included the Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza, Trump Marina (formerly Castle), and a riverboat casino in Indiana. The bankruptcies allowed for reorganization of debts rather than personal bankruptcy.
Beyond these bankruptcies, numerous other ventures failed, including Trump Airlines, Trump Mortgage, and Trump University, with critics highlighting a pattern of failed deals.”
“Failed Ventures: Several branded ventures closed, including Trump Airlines (1989–1992), Trump Mortgage (2006–2008), Trump Vodka (2006–2011), Trump Magazine, Trump University, and the Trump Network.”
There are two possibilities here, or maybe a combination of the two: 1) everything he touches turns to shit, or 2) he puts his name on shit and calls it gold. Either way, this is the guy that’s running the country, and he’s running it the way he ran his businesses.

US debt only matters when a Dem is president.

Somehow they’ll spin this to be the fault of Obama, Biden, and the Democrats as a collective, and that there’s nothing anyone can do about it but also that it’s better than ever and that we should all be glad.
Exhausting.

GOP will blame Obama and Biden too, but the difference is them increasing the deficit was to actually try and help people struggling due to events made worse by GOP leadership while Trump does it to enrich himself and donors.

A Casino Carl he bankrupted a Casino.
Seriously he was never a good business man and he never really will be one.
Everyone who worked with him and spoke out about it said it. He never takes any advice he always believes he is right and if something goes wrong he always blames others.
Sounds familiar?
It is so far beyond me that people could think he knows what he is doing?
I mean yes he makes the appearance of a rich dude and he speaks a very simple language, that of a toddler. And so many did hate Hillary and they hated Harris but seriously either of them would have made a better president then Trump could have ever be.

Look I hate Trump as much as anyone. But this graph isn’t the flex you think it is.
W Bush: 2000 – 2008 8 years
Obama: 2008 – 2016 8 years
Trump1: 2016 – 2020 4 years
Biden: 2020 – 2024 4 years
Trump2: 2024 – today <2 years
It’s pretty much equal contribution from both parties. Trump is currently presiding over the traversal of the 100% threshold, but BOTH parties had the same amount of input in the growth of the debt. This is less about Trump and more about irresponsible spending and lack of accountability on BOTH sides.

In complete fairness (not that I like or support Trump, obviously) he is a small part of the timeline and not the worst person when looking at the deltas. There’s a small bump after 9/11 but there’s also another steep increase after both the housing/debt market collapse in 2009 and the auto industry bailouts in 2011. This isn’t surprising considering Obama sucked too (but I’m sure he wasn’t the sole architect of said bailouts). There is also a spike in late 2019/early 2020 which makes sense
Though yes, the pederast in chief does have a history of flushing businesses down the toilet.

Democrats really need to take ownership of this issue.
Republicans constantly hammer Democrats on spending and the deficit, but the actual facts show that Republicans are FAR worse on the deficit than Democrats.
Hit them hard on this, take over the mantle of fiscal responsibility from republicans (who have falsely worn it for years.) Then pin it to oligarchs and fat cats like Trump, and get everyone on board with *finally* taxing the rich to pay down this debt and pay for things the US people actually *want* to have. Like healthcare, infrastructure, stable social security, etc.

Fuck that orange assfaced fucker, but the headline is rediculous.
They say it’s a once unheard of threshold but in the picture showing this also shows when it previously happened in 1947.
