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 They’re just outdated.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.

Thank you President Trump for working so hard on behalf of all of us.
Ella Jernigan we are paying NOTHING. It’s his money quit smoking the liberal weed. It’s making you stupid sweetheart.
Instead of most media focusing on his accomplishments. ..they are choosing to focus on garbage without substance. These outlets need to be called out. Are you listening ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, ETC?
You might want to do some real research instead of listening to what they keep telling you makes you look and sound unintelligent. Obama cost over 100 million in just vacations alone and has stolen trillions from us. Trump hasn’t cost us a remote fraction of what Obama has, secondly those aren’t vacations TRUMP OWNS the golf course and places he’s been staying. Need to wake up and pull your head out of your gay lover Obama’s$#%&!@* Yea he’s married to a man Michael Lavaughn Robinson, AkA Michelle Obama. Yea it’s a manwife. Google the name i just gave you. Its Michelle that comes up and you’ll get to read all about it.
It’s his money retard. His establishments. All we’re paying him is 1.00 a yr. He ran for free but by our laws it’s not allowed. Quit being stupid and get a real education and learn the facts before running off at the mouth. Makes you look extremely ignorant.
Cause it’s NOT true. And he can spend HIS money however he wants. Its his money.
So you got your job back from a illegal ! Why would anyone want to work for people that hire illegals
Those jobs we’re already coming back because of contract talks that he had nothing to do with much like the buildings he builds he doesn’t do$#%&!@*to put his name on it and many of them are taken his name off no one will stay were a pedophile has his name on the building
If he has the money to pay off all the victims he Can be
Just so we are all clear, the Federal government is still in it’s 2017 fiscal year from the Obama administration which doesn’t end until September 30. Trump should not be credited with this savings any more than Obama should be blamed for the debt increase his first month. Just sayin’…
