So far...

Why do you think he's had so many personal and business bankruptcies? Duh.

Is there a source / break down for this?Dont doubt it- just want more info

Republicans always reduce taxes, which is the government's income. They talk a lot about reducing government spending, but never reduce it by as much as the tax cuts.
crazyspelling
Reagan's favorite trick. Cut taxes to try to force the Democrats to cut social services or else raise the debt, either of which outcomes the Republicans can run on as the party of fiscal responsibility (watch out for those Rax & Spend Democrats!). During the first of the 21st century debt ceiling crises, all the old guard financial conservatives freaked the hell out that their own party was the one raising the debt ceiling and borrowing money, and a bunch of them didn't run for reelection.

Almost like Trump is one of the worst businessmen on the planet

BlindGardener
Pst. Put Bush on there too
Mikataki
That's the point. He wants to hobble any future administration as much as possible, while cratering taxes for himself and his loyalists.
Resistance1000
Then when the Dems take over and have to spend to clean up his mess, the GOP can start screaming about "big-spending liberals" and their voters will flock back to them like the sheep they are.
NeoAcario
Got a couple years left.... on paper. Hopefully it won't make it that far. But yeah, that's nothing new. How about you break it down by presidency since The 60s or 70s?
lordfancypantz
Just to come ahead of any naysayers, then I'd wish they did this adjusted for inflation
bloxxing
$13.5T so far.
Cutwail
The result of enormous tax cuts with no budget balance policy follwing it.

This is Putin's agenda.
Sorrontis
Can we see the circle for the last 3-4 presidents?
Resistance1000
tRump is two of them.
DukeDarkwood
On the chart you posted, Trump counts as one of 45, not two of 47.
Sorrontis
I mean, unique presidents. So, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, Trump, Biden. What's their Debt load each
Bundalicious
It will take generations to pay for the fuck ups this administration is causing. USA will never recover its reputation as non pedophiles.

This administraion is a wealth transfer grift. Nothing more.
Dissipo
And imagine what all that wasted money could have bought? Healthcare, student loan paid off, SS stabilization. Pisses me off thinking about it.
SecurityBadger
I thought we were over $42T.
psmith00
remember this is just so far. he has more years yet in office.
Sulanis
Same thing in Canada conservatives rack up more debt, constantly cut funding to public programs and still rack up debt.
Don't forget the constant scandals and buddies getting free money. Then the constant tax cuts, havens. And avoidence schemes.
DaffydeDick
Add $300 billion surrender fee to Iran, plus $100 billion war cost, plus tens of millions for his dumb birthday bash, plus $1 billion ballroom/bunker, plus $1 billion to refurb his Qatar 747, plus gazillion more wasted spending.
Resistance1000
But it's not HIS money. He doesn't pay taxes, so not one cent of it his money is paying for it.
SleazyBijou
So much winning
talomox14
Man, I'm going to be very upset with Democrats about this next time there's a democrat president!
Metallica93
To be fair, both Obama and Biden did similar numbers, but both also had to haul us out of recessions and pandemics. I expect the same again in 2028.
BenderRodriguz1010
All 13 of that is spread out amongst "friends". Fucking cunts.

One of which just made it to a trillion dollars.

Not that this is unbelievable, but *looks broadly at the world today*
Metallica93
I wouldn't expect political bots to post sources. Plus, Obama's and Biden's numbers are ~$8 and ~$9 trillion, respectively. Trump's being ~$11 trillion means little without context (that is apparently beyond this poster's intellectual capabilities).
NKato
And inflation has made the numbers look wildly distorted. It would be easier to compare the accumulated debt under each president against the annual GDP of that term.
Metallica93
Yerp. I think F.D.R. and Woodrow Wilson handily win, in that case?
But I know Imgur is less interested in real numbers than an inaccurate post that makes them feel good about the orange dipshit. C'est la vie...
jimhotep
The number is about right, about 32% of all national debt was incurred in a Trump administration. Up to May 20 of this year, he has added 2.8trillion to the national debt since the start of his Admin.
TheHornyCactus
Tried to do the math and look at the national debt for the whole time from the first and second presidency and it looks like it's about 10.8 trillion added during his presidencys from what I can tell, so still unbelievably insanely corrupt and shows how garbage he is as a president, but it does seem to fall short of the 13.5 from the picture, I 100% would love to be corrected though if I did the math wrong which I probably did LOL
TheHornyCactus
Also of course I'm not talking about all the money that he has personally siphoned off and stolen, or his children, only talking about hard numbers from the start date to the end dates, I think what people also need to figure is that number is going to grow probably at least two or three x during the rest of this shitty timeline lol
TheHornyCactus
*IE his second term
hamulusrex
How much of that somehow funneled directly to Trumps own pocket? I'm sure it's not zero
IndianaJawns
Does this include the debt accrued from his first term as well?
Resistance1000
Yes. All of his vs all of everyone else's.
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
Hold on he has 2 more years.... he can probably make it 50/50
JesaraB
as his current rate, probably will
corndude101
At his current rate he may account for more than 50%.
jimhotep
Mark my words; $45trillion us debt by the time this admin ends.
Ioftenpretendtobeapotato
Ladies and gentlemen, the party of fiscal responsibility
jasondeslin
Now show me one that compares Reps and Dems... Would Dems even show, given that Dems have managed to reduce the deficit?
awkungen42
The party of gaslighting and propaganda. It's crazy they've been able to convince people they're anything but the party that is trying to ruin America.
BeaverOnFire
I think you misspelled the party of grifting.
newsguycraigevans
When you've been around as long as I have you realize national debt and the deficit only matter when a democrat is in charge.
alloutofmondays
My dad no longer mentions the deficit once I showed him the proof that every republican administration increases it while democrats always reduce it.
Can’t reduce the debt without reducing the deficit.
Elonth
YEPPPPPPPP. If you have the spoon fed or infographic of that on hand I would love to have it. I had it but lost it. Its very useful for helping idiots realize they backed the lying evil dirt bags if you take each one of their foundational fabricated higrounds/lies away from them one brick at a time.
DVSBSTrD
Could be worse. We didn't elect Hillary, so she MUST have been the worse option. Because democracy is NEVER wrong!
Arbitrarynamehere
The cyber security single issue voters are so vindicated.
Wait why does Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan have voice recordings of the Situation Room??
Oh well.
DYSBcero
Holy hell I have a coworker that insists things would be even worse if Kamala got elected. He’s said that she wouldn’t be able to get the straight open, goes completely over his head that the straight wouldn’t even be closed and this bullshit war wouldn’t have happened
TeddyBruhsvelt
I'm not from the US so my opinion should probably be taken with a pinch of salt but hillary never seemed like a great candidate. Heaps better than trump even the first time sure but she did just seem like the lesser of two bad candidates in 2016. By comparison Harris seemed like a really really solid candidate in 2024 and ye still voted for Don 2 despite him being very obviously unhinged and unelectable during the campaign. Maybe the US just hates women that much...
