  1. The wheels have fallen off Republican claims (LIES) that Trump’s massive corporate tax cuts would pay for themselves by generating increased growth and government revenues over the next decade. Reminds me of Cheney's claim that the Iraq war would pay for itself. Republican voters fell for that one too. “Not only will this tax plan pay for itself but it will pay down debt,” Treasury Sec Steven Mnuchin famously boasted (LIED) in September 2017. The national debt surpassed $22 trillion for the first time last year, a milestone that experts warned is further proof the country is on an unsustainable financial path that could jeopardize the economic security of every American. The Treasury Department reported the debt hit $22.012 trillion, a jump of more than $30 billion in just this month. The national debt has been rising at a faster rate following the passage of Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax-cut package after a little more than a year. The nation has added more than $1 trillion in debt in the last 11 months alone. Trump has quickened the rate at which the debt is growing by widening the deficit to finance his $1.5 trillion package of sweeping tax cuts for himself, his wealthy friends, big banks, and corporations. Trump promised these tax cuts would pay for themselves by spurring on economic activity, but revenues have since stalled. Federal spending by the Trump administration is around 6.6 percent higher than it was before. In 2017, the national debt grew by 4 percent, according to CBO data, which excludes intragovernmental holdings. By the following year, Trump's second in charge, this had accelerated to 7 percent. It's a similar story with the deficit. When Trump was elected in 2016, the size of the deficit measured as a portion of GDP was 3.2 percent. By the end of 2018 this had increased to 3.9 percent. The deficit is expected to hit 4.2 percent in 2019. It is on course to reach a nominal value of $1 trillion by the end of the year. That increase comes despite the economy doing well, so yes, it can be attributed directly to his tax cuts for the wealthy, which clearly aren't paying for themselves, as most professional economists warned. Trump's tax cuts was nothing more than corporate welfare, OR, a tax cut for the swamp. Trump thinks about the national debt as he does his own personal debt. A 2016 Fortune magazine analysis revealed Trump's business is $1.11 billion in debt. That includes $846 million owed on five properties. This is not surprising considering that Trump famously bragged about being the "King of Debt" along with the fact that Trump has filed for bankruptcy 6 times, and has relied on Saudi Royals, and Russian Oligarchs to come to his rescue and bail him out numerous times over the years.

  2. Trump said he’d clean the Washington swamp. His cultists bought it. Then he brought into his administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls than in any administration in history, to make laws that will enrich their businesses. Trump said he would drain the swamp. His cultists bought it. Then he proceeded to drain the swamp directly into his white house.. Trump said he'd be the most transparent president ever. His cultists bought it. Trump has now told more than 10k documented lies since taking office, making him the most prolific liar in history, and for any foreseeable future imaginable. He said he’d use his business experience to whip the White House into shape. His cultists  bought it. Then he created the most chaotic, dysfunctional, back-stabbing White House in modern history, in which no one is in charge, and no one knows what's going on. Trump said Clinton was in the pockets of Goldman Sachs, and would do whatever they said. His cultists bought it. Then he put half a dozen Goldman Sachs executives in positions of power in his administration. Trump then proceeded to give himself and his wealthy friends, the biggest tax cut in history, which has ballooned America's debt to 22 trillion. which the American people are going to have to pay for. Trump said he would be working so much that he wouldn't have time to play golf.  His cultists bought it. Trump has now played golf more than any other president before him. Trump actually plays more golf now, than he did before he became president. Trump's golfing has cost American taxpayers at least 102 million dollars so far. Trump: "I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to go play golf, believe me." Trump has taken 175 trips to play golf since being in office. And all of his golfing trips were to his own golf resorts except one. Trump: "I'm not gonna play much golf, because there's a lot of work to be done." At this time in his presidency, President Obama had only played 70 rounds of golf, compared to Trump, who has now played almost 200 rounds of golf. So far, American taxpayers have paid at least 81 million for Trump play on his golf course in FL, 17 million for Trump to play on his golf courses in NJ, 1 million for Trump to play on his golf courses in Los Angeles, and 3 million for Trump to play on his golf course in Scotland. Of the 70 golf trips that President Obama took at this point in his presidency, 48 of them were to golf courses on military bases, which clearly saves taxpayers money, and it benefits the military bases as well. Since Trump the grifter and con-man, only visits his golf resorts, he's pocketing millions of taxpayer dollars from accommodations, lodging, and rental fees. On Average, Trump has golfed every 4.9 days as president. At this pace, he will spend almost 600 days golfing if he serves 2 terms, compared with President Obama, who spent 302 days golfing in 2 terms.
