Huge news, folks! Thanks to the economic genius of Donald Trump, the National Debt has smashed through 100% of our GDP for the first time since World War II!
We are officially borrowing more than we make!
Here are just a few of the stunning, high-quality investments Trump has made with your grandchildren’s money:
The Billionaire Ballroom "Gift": Trump tore down the East Wing of the White House to build a massive, mega-ballroom. He swore it wouldn't cost taxpayers "one dime." He lied!
The Great Argentine Bailout: Because nothing screams "America First" quite like subsidizing fascists in South American! (Trump promised he was going to "put America first." He lied!)
Another Middle East War: A brand new, desert conflict because the previous ones went so well! (Trump promised, "I will not start wars, I will end wars. I'll be the peace President!" Once again, he lied.)
Billionaire Relief Fund: Generous tax cuts for the tragically underprivileged yachts-and-mansions crowd!
The Vanity Coin Fiasco, Rapist Edition: The U.S. Mint actually minting shiny new coins stamped with Trump's own face, because what better way to address a debt crisis than legal tender featuring the guy who caused it?
The $200 Million Golf Tab: Ongoing travel costs where hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars funnel directly into Trump-owned properties! (Trump said, "When I am President, I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go play golf."
Shocking news: HE LIED!)
The $1 Billion "Free" Qatar Grift Jet: Trump accepted a $400 million luxury jumbo jet as a totally "unconditional donation" from Qatar, then immediately stuck taxpayers with a $1 billion bill to retrofit it with gold trim, custom carpets, and advanced defenses.
Best of all? When his term ends, he gets to keep it! Talk about a gift that keeps on taking!
Meanwhile:
The official child poverty rate in the United States sits at 15%. (Child poverty is up sharply, because the republicans in Congress (plus Manchin and Sinema) refused to renew the expanded Child Tax Credit.)
An additional 35.5% of American children (25 million) live in households earning just above the poverty line, meaning nearly half of the country's children experience periodic financial insecurity.
These children face challenges such as lack of sufficient food, stable housing, and other critical resources needed for healthy development, which will have long-term effects on their health, education, and future opportunities.
Are we great again yet?
