President Trump Has Secured Trillions of Dollars in New Investments ...

Mar 8, 2026Since President Donald J. Trump took office, his bold America First economic policies have unleashed an unprecedented wave of private-sector investment.

sorry, those investments are not completed immediately, as in all the building etc will be completed in one week.

Pres Trump is the only pres that has the courage to make tough decisions, unfortunately, the iran decision had to be made NOW.

Securing investments doesn’t actually help the deficit if spending still exceeds those investments. Time will tell. You seem to have more faith than l do.

We now have a debt tracker thanks to Jax, and it stands to reason Trump has 2 years to make that number go down, so we can revisit this topic a year and 2 years from now.

If Trump pulls it off, then l’m the sucker who didn’t have enough faith. And if it doesn’t, that means you’re the sucker.

I‘m sure we’ll both acknowledge being suckers without any excuses depending on how it pans out. We’ll talk later.

no, you will keep emoting and drawing emotional conclusions whatever.

There was zero bitching about the debt with obaMao, biden, from your side.

Just more dishonest hateful political attacks.

And, this is probably took complex for you to try to understand, but there is a huge difference between expanded

our freaking deficit for leftwing political gain (like the giant obaMaocommiecare, and leftwing political gain with the biden clan (like billions spent on illegals free ride for future votes),

and the more rightwing necessary spending to REBUILD our military - put that spending BACK IN, plus the necessary spending to get your illegals the hell back OUT of our country.

Trying to have an intelligent discussion with leftwing emotionalism is just frustrating. You have NO comprehensive understanding of anything, just superficial feelings, covered up by smart ass rationalizations.

You seem to have less faith now. No need to make excuses yet. For all we know l’ll be the sucker when Trump turns the tide on the deficit.

If not, you get to be the sucker. Just relax and see what happens.

For the record l did bitch about the deficit under Biden. You just don’t remember or you didn’t read it.

you seem to be a girlieman, who knows nothing of history, economics, politics, or anything else.

Again, you and the woodpecker attribute false narratives and misinterpretations to another

people's quotes, so that you can FEEL you won.

I’m not sure what you’re rambling on about. You’re confident Trump can put a dent in the budget. I’m less confident. Time will tell. We’ll know in a year or two.

[calfoxwc]

you don't comprehend what others post. Not just my posts.

Most everyone else's posts, too. You are hopeless in discussions, I'm guessing your FEELINGS are warped.

You’re rambling Calf. We’ll see what happens with the deficit. I’m less confident than you that Trump will turn the tide, but we’ll see. One of us will be suckers, but we gotta wait a year or two to see who.

For my part l hope l’m the sucker, because that means the budget will be balanced and we’re making headway on the deficit.

Covid destroyed everything.

The Citizens United Supreme Court Decision destroyed everything too. Our new Civil War is a quest for power by the two asinine major parties as a result of it, and ordinary Americans are paying for it.

Capitol Hill isn't working for us, they only work for their party platform. It's BS.

I have absolutely zero faith in both parties.

Look at the 2 losers running for governor in Ohio ( vote for Don Kissick please).

Look at the 2 losers running for Senate in Ohio. Sherrod Brown at one time was ok, now he says after he got the boot that he will "fix things," well you had 30 years to try. Husted? HELL NO.

US Debt Clock

Trump vs Biden National Debt Comparison: Who Added More?

Trump vs Biden debt: which president added more to the national debt? Full comparison with verified Treasury data and inflation-adjusted figures.

In raw dollar terms, Obama ($8.59T), Trump ($8.48T), and Biden ($8.17T) each added roughly similar amounts. In percentage terms, Reagan holds the modern record at 186%, followed by W. Bush at 101%. Context matters enormously — Obama inherited the Great Recession, Trump faced COVID-19, and Biden inherited both pandemic aftereffects and rising interest rates.

Covid destroyed everything.

I'm still waiting for Trump to lower the debt and prices. Can't do that while in a war with Iran and having the Strait closed.

Judges kept ruining his tariffs, did he not do it correctly or did the judges over step their authority with technicalities?

Lefties ruined what Musk was trying to do.

Was he full of shit, or met with too much opposition?

Biden was just useless.

100% on covid. That accountend for $4.5 trillion in relief spending and a major loss to revenue that we may never have a true understanding.
