Okay, first thing, this is something politicians do. It's nothing knew to Trump, though he might be going overboard on the boasting and flattering.
Trump boasting that debt has gone down in his first month, as if it were his policies that have made debt go down.
The first thing is that it ignores that a President doesn't just jump into this, as the second post says, it takes until October. This means that it was Dubya with the debt going sky high and Obama with it going down.
Secondly it ignores the reality that the economy was going to hell 8 years ago and is getting better today.
But hey, Trump, you'll go spend money on the military, you'll spend money on infrastructure, you'll spend money on combating drugs, you'll spend money on improving inner cities, you'll spend money all over the place and reduce taxes and you think the National Debt will go down.
Predictions seems to be going down for a few years, then rising again. Sort of like in Bush. Typical tactic, get things going down for 4 years, then slam everything and everyone in the next 4 years.
