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 They’re just outdated.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.

Travis Sanders The President, whomever is sitting in office, is REQUIRED to use Airforce One for all travel, including personal trips. Trump is NOT spending his own money when he takes Air Force One to Florida every weekend. Get your facts straight.
Oh my goodness! ‘Truth And Action’: I wonder who the heck is behind all your b*llsh*t articles! I’ve scrolled down, reading some of the outrageous c**p you send into the world as the ‘truth’ and there are evidently people who fall for the way you twist stories to suit your vile agenda. You give journalism a bad name! Shameful, bizarre and totally devoid of real, hard, investigative truths- just a bunch of fear mongering and Trump praising idiots!
Duhhhh- Patty- one doesn’t need to be ‘paid’ to point out lies and deception!
Travis… Travis… Yikes, man! US TAX money is what is used to transport your guy and his extended family and friends so mindblowingly frequently to their ‘winter white house’ for a round of golf or two, and maybe a quick lunch or dinner on the patio of yhe club house. And on top of that tax payers carry the burden of the two son’s safety entourage and travel expences while they trot around the globe to take care of Daddy Donald’s businesses. And before you randomly call someone a ‘retard’ check out who pays for Melania and son’s security etc to stay in Trump Tower and to be carted up and down to Florida on weekends- NOT Donny boy, but TAX dollars from hard working people. But wait there’s more!! Read up on how his frequent popping over to Florida is hurting local businesses- the same people that he vowed to protect are losing money and business because of his selfishness.
