Donald Trump is already decreasing the size of the national debt — but he’s getting none of the credit.
In a tweet late last month, Trump claimed that he had already shrunk the debt by $12 billion since taking office:
The media has not reported that the National Debt in my first month went down by $12 billion vs a $200 billion increase in Obama first mo.

PolitiFact claimed that Trump’s numbers “check out” but gave the claim a “mostly false” rating anyway — presumably because they thought the numbers were irrelevant.
In a way, they are correct. Those numbers are irrelevant — but not because they’re wrong. They’re just outdated. Trump didn’t shrink the deficit by $12. He shrunk it by more.

PROBABLY THE GREATEST WE’VE EVER HAD! And everybody of the doubters said “He can’t get elected, He can’t be President!” REALLY?! SHUT THEM UP HUH?!
I’m a happy camper, let’s just say that…lol
keep up the good work
I voted for him, but nothing he has done to this point could cut debt.
The only thing he could have done by now is have business invest again because they believe in him. I don’t see 60 billion being cut by that. Did he magically eliminate interest?
3 million a weekend for trump every weekend lmfao
Let’s talk about how dump spent 11 mil last month, vs Obamas 12 mil all last year.
I don’t think they care and I know trump don’t care lol
Why doesn’t President Trump get any credit? Because the liberals, the cause of all the problems in America, will not allow it to happen. Guess what liberal assholes, next election their won’t be any of you. Think about it losers.
Go TRUMP!
He is a rapest and thief.
