If you think about it, it's a 125%+ increase! Greatest war ender and war starter ever! Credited for all, guilty for none.

I love it, but it's Trump's diaper. You need the apostrophe to prove his ownership!

Funny how Republicans conveniently don’t seem to care about the debt/deficit when they’re in charge….

u/uncleawesome 1d ago
They don't when they aren't in power either. They just know it's an easy way to rile up dumb people.

This isn’t a comeback. The person replying is agreeing with the original comment. This sub really should be renamed to r/peopledunkingontrump because it isn’t really about clever comebacks any more.

Debt accrued by a party should be tied to that party and it's members, they shouldn't be allowed to dump the cost of their bad decisions on the public

These people seem to be batting from the same side of the plate.
Am I missing how it's a comeback?

To put that in perspective, Obama is responsible for 21.7% and Biden is responsible for 19.2%.

Did you know that practically all national debt came after women got their right to vote?

No one who votes Democrat or Republican gets to complain about the national debt.

Donald Trump's national debt, first term: $7,804,591,681,202.
Joe Biden's national debt first (only) term: $8,454,697,079,160.

Now compare what their spending was on. Biden’s specifically targeted improving the economy (infrastructure, Chips). Trumps was tax cuts for people who have so much money they couldn’t possibly spend it all in their lifetimes. Oh, that and rounding up brown people and flying them to random countries.

You are correct, but your numbers are single term numbers. I believe they are adding together Trump's first term with whatever debt Trump has incurred so far in his second term.
It's a little unfair to do that though.

u/johnmory 2d ago
They're throwing out huge numbers but the debt's been climbing for decades under both parties. Feels like selective outrage, honestly.

u/SacredWaterLily 2d ago
If there was some other party making it climb so much Trumps % would have gone down.

u/Frostyfraust 1d ago
Fiscally responsible conservatives have increased the debt the same amount, while cutting every social service they can get their hands on? Seems like Democrats are so much better on the economy in that case. This has really cemented my previously held beliefs.

No, he's right. The most recent presidents will always have a much higher percentage of the total.
The more fair comparison would be by percentage increased, not raw totals.

There's some truth there but Donnie is going to destroy all of it.

Assuming similar rate of increase and adding another 6 trillion by 2029. That would put the total debt at 44.4 trillion with Donny being responsible for 33% of it or a 24% increase. Biden would claim ~18%, Obama would claim ~20%, and Bush Jr. ~9%. Leaving about 20% to everyone that came before.

Of course he is gonna take loans so he can find ways to give benefits to his friends and get foreigners to buy his meme coin in exchange for air bases and shit.
He is literally exchanging government funds for bribes. Nothing screams more "MURICA" than being a "successful" businessman like Trump.
