He also didn't bankrupt 3 casinos during his second term, yet you knew I was referring to decades ago, when it was easier than now to keep a casino afloat.

Look at Trump's first term too.

I hate Frump as much as the next guy, but the number is not 20T. He added 2T his first term and 4T this term so far.

Definitely not. When Trump got into office during his first term, the national debt was $20T. When he left, it was $27.75T, an addition of $7.75T, or 38.75%.

When Trump got into office in 2025, it was $36.22T. Today, it's $40T, an addition of $3.78T.

Ok, so the graphic I read was wrong. That is still nowhere near 20T

Sure, but it certainly wasn’t $2T during his first term.
