Imagine if this was under a Dem president. The gross MAGAt republicans and media would be losing their shit.

Means nothing unless the world can see they have gone morally bankrupt.

40 trillion so far!

I’m glad Republicans are in charge so this doesn’t matter at all /s

Shhhhh! We can't talk about the national debt until a D is in charge.

There are 989 billionaires. One of them is a trillionaire.

I think we could tax billionaires out of existence and nearly settle the debt in one fell swoop.

What do you imagine it's going to be when he leaves office?

Trump is GOP

The first trillion is the hardest one to lose.

Wasn't it 7 when he started ?

defense costs, social programs like Social Security and Medicare and interest

Interest on debt is higher than social programs. The rest is just the 'defense' costs.

I would upvote this post, but the story tries to blame Medicare and Social Security. Those are not the main drivers of this debt. Over half the national budget is military spending.

C’mon the US is the world’s casino and nobody bankrupts a casino!

When I read this headline, I remember the interview in Donald's first term where he went on for five minutes about a 'beautiful piece of chocolate cake'. We're going to see a slew of books about the vulgar extent to which he enriched himself and his stupid fucking kids after he dies, but sadly, not before.

The US is nothing more than a giant ATM for a handful of people operated by a toddler.

no one is gonna call them out on it

Trillion here, trillion there, pretty soon it ends up being real money! The amount actually matters less than how much it costs to service the debt. I think it's about to surpass all of medicare in the upcoming budget

Money is fake. The dollar can be continuously created up to the market value of the resources the US controls. When it exceeds that, then I’ll worry.
