It linked to US Treasury data, so that's BS won't cut it.

Colbert…😂😂😂

Can this data be manipulated to achieve a certain outcome?

So you can tell me how trumps term as president is BEFORE it is complete?

I can tell you what I did:

no1marauder: Trump, even before the 2026 FY numbers are included, has already increased the debt in dollar terms more in 5 years than Obama did in 8.

That's true whether you want to admit it or not.

"Keeping in mind, changes in the U.S. national debt reflect outcomes of federal fiscal policy over time and should not be interpreted as the sole responsibility of any individual President. While Presidents propose budgets and influence economic policy, Congress holds the power of the purse, and spending levels are shaped by legislation, prior-year budgets, macroeconomic conditions, and extraordinary events such as wars, recessions, and public health crises.

Additionally, for most Presidents, fiscal outcomes during their first year in office are largely governed by budgets passed by the previous administration. As a result, early-term debt changes may reflect policies enacted before a President took office."

Trump's own OMB is projecting a plus $2 trillion deficit this FY.

"Yesterday, the department headed by Scott Bessent released its latest Quarterly Refunding Documents, which communicate any changes in debt management policy, as well as financing estimates from Treasury and bond market participants. The documents also share bond issuance plans.

This is insane! The Republican policy is no one pays taxes and govt spend unlimited amounts of money. And no one in Washington cares that this makes no sense.
