Trump declared bankruptcy six times between 1991 and 2009 due to its inability to meet required payments and to re-negotiate debt with banks, owners of stock and bonds and various small businesses. Bezos thinks it’s hilarious.

GDP is ~$30 million so we have a debt to GDP ratio of 133%. For reference, the IMF recommends that its member countries try to keep the ratio below 60%. FWIW I would argue that the IMF forcing 140 other countries to keep their ratio below 60% is *why* the U.S. can get away with one of 133%

Hmmm, wonder if all those Trump's wars, tariffs, high inflation, trillions of dollars in tax cuts to billionaires, million/billion dollars towards various tax cuts, billions towards Israel's genocide of Palestinians, etc are 2 blame🤔 Everytime, Repubs are in the White House, they DESTROY economies.

Trump has helped kill the American Dream ! Our children and grandchildren will be too busy being taxed to be able to afford to pay their own way to a decent life and republican voters & politicians are to blame

It’s going to get very ugly. Our country is the latest business run by Trump at risk of insolvency. Republicans and Trump will blame entitlements they’ve robbed, while they’ve nurtured and swaddled the “Magnificent Seven” companies like precious infants.

Sure, he said he would cut the debt in half. But Trump also said he would end the war in Ukraine, to say nothing of promising he would never start another stupid war. So yeah, the man is a pathological liar.

The national debt was about $36T when Trump took office. So nearly 10% of the debt has been acquired in the last 19 months.

Remember: American voters brought Trump back and GOP Congress and Courts control. BBB provided tax cuts to the richests in the US, so that $40 trillion will be payed by the rest of population. Problem never was immigrants, LGBTI+, "woke" issues: these are distractions. Follow the money, vote wiser.
