WoW.

In just the first month of President Trump's office, the USA's debt was cut by $12 Billion. In comparison, Obama increased it by $200 Billion.

Trump just keeps winning and proving his detractors wrong day after day.

The author doesn't know the difference between an billion and a trillion.


Trump may save enough to pay for his extended security. At the current rate, he will spend in one year what Obama spent in eight.

Trump already shaved a billion off Air Force One (not included in OP amount). That puts the balance far far in Trump's favor on that one.

Where does the linked article cite source(s) and accounting method(s) that prove it right?

Or is this just alternative facts arrived at thru alternative accounting?

On January 20, 2017, the US debt was $19.947 billion.
On February 21, 2017, the US debt was $19,935 billion.

Isn't the difference only 12 million? I'm not good at math so I may be wrong.

Here is a more accurate picture of national debt. The over all picture goes back to Bush, not just the last few weeks under Trump.

More fake news from Moscow.

Debt Jan 20 9.947
Debt today 9.978

An increase of 31 billion, or about 1 billion per day.

However, he hasn't even started yet. He asked for 1 trillion dollar stimulus.
