Trump supporters, any explanation? I highly doubt it.
He was naive to expect Congress to decrease spending.

But it's the best debt.

Sure, let's blame it on the kids. Because of course, they are the ones that have been running the country while the debt has been piling up.

Poor Trump supporters, they can't defend any of his lies.

Explanation ? All we need to do is look to the Senate where the spiteful Democrats won't give Trump an inch and the wishy washy Republicans still can't get out of their own way.



They can't even come together to agree that protecting our border is important.

Illegal immigration costs us all an estimated $90 Billion per year. Imagine if even half of that could be put to better use?

If Trump floated even a basic idea like taxing every dollar one penny they would shut it down.

Trump has proposed shrinking the Gov. and there was outrage. Removing troops from the ME was even met with resistance.





Trump has ideas but they would rather argue and "resist" than listen.

Imagine the debt we will be in when the border is opened and some fool gets elected that wants to put the new green deal into action.

They are the ones who want everything for free. That's going to raise the debt. They should love it.

Were the kids clamoring for Trump's tax cut for the mega-rich which is the cause of most of the increase in the debt?

What else would you expect from a Leftist? They have no ability to think for themselves. Today's kids want everything handed to them. That really started rolling with Millennials and now that they are parents it's getting worse because they are teaching their dribblers the same crap. Getting stuff for free will drive up the debt. Get used to it, it's the future you want so badly.

Is that the lie you are telling your kids? You aren't telling them the truth that you as a parent failed them by telling them to put their hands out and wait to be fed?
