  1. The Super majority of the National was run up by Republicans administrations . TRUMP set the record in his last term and is on track to exceed that record in his current term .

    1. Putting Trump in all caps was very helpful, but can someone who speaks Democrat translate the rest of this comment?

  2. blahhhhhh…blahhhhh..blahhhhh….please offer educated comments….not the typical Trump hating rhetoric. No one president is responsible for this nation debt. The blame really lies at the feet of the US House of Reps as they are primarily responsible for government oversight…. which oversight has been mismanaged for decades (grossly since the 1960”s)…also, it is the good ole USA trying to be caretaker of the world as our inner cities are in ruin..as well as much of the younger populations…might this be the beginning of the end…hummmmmmmmm

    1. The problem i think we have here is that the guy gets on stage cussing and firing and claims to make us great. If he’d be more of a proffessional and quit bragging there may be more respect. What would you tell your son if he behaved as he does.

    2. Would you then petition your Representative to take back their responsibility for tariff policy from President Trump?
      Please review CBO projections for the effect of the “Big Beautiful Bill” on our national debt. Some presidents are more responsible for the size of this debt than others.
