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 They’re just outdated.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 is braindead
He HAS to ride in AF 1 there’s no getting around that, it’s policy. He’s potus, if he had it his way he’d use his own jet, his own security. But being potus he’s not allowed that luxury and golf it’s his establishment. With all the leaks in DC it’s the safest place till all the investigations are over. Reasons for security cost being so high look at all the threats to trump and the size of his family. We are required to foot that bill. You can thank the violent libs and all their threats, for throwing protests. He’s doing business. Not vacationing as they would have us believe. But yet from some sources Trump is 2mill below obama, others the same. There’s a couple sites very liberal leaning that care so far fetched in figures they are doctored up to try and crush Trump. If everyone would stop trying to bring him down and work with him, the threat level wouldn’t be so high.
Somewhat of a f**e blasphemy news
good for you, keep up the good work
Truth and Action please proof read you dumbass story. If the national debt was 19.947 billion and it shrunk to 19.879 then there is NO WAY that figure comes up to 68 Billion that would mean there is no more national debt….. that’s because the national debt is 19 Trillion dumbasses!!!!!! the worst thing is most of the comments below show how out of touch most people are!!!!!
Travis if he ran for free why did he have a website asking for donations????
Thank You President Trump, knew you could do it.
Drain the Swamp of all corruption, means lots of saved money.
Spot on, Alan!
Travis, check your facts. Who pays for security for his rapist crew. More in one month than Obama’s family in one year. Check facts.
he is making such an impact on the economy already, and notice how he’s getting no atta boy ?????remember, this is happening with the liberals trying to slow him down ,every where they can !!!
