JohnMannMP So what? National debt is an irrelevance.

Every president has raised the debt when first in office. Trump is genius. Our debt will be wiped out by 2024.

Of course tRumps for the mega rich. Mega tax break for the rich. Dump tRump Impeach tRump then imprison tRump. Then repeal tax break.

The us has no intention of paying the debt off, besides it can’t

Obama added damn near 9 trillion if we’re being fair

9 trillion under Obama but whatevs I guess lol

Obama added 9 trillion

I thought he's a great negotiator. What happened? He wants to fund the wall while dept is growing. priorities

And to his pocket? How much

Obama’s was like 10 trillion. Correct me if I’m wrong.

The BIGGEST and BEST National Debt EVER! And did I mention, he is SO handsome?

realDonaldTrump 2 Trillion higher debt, farmers having to get bailed out, government shutdown, stock market worst EVER.....along with everything else you claim is “fake”...sounds more like the US is losing thanks to you !

RRRRMMMMM14 Great job Biff.

Check his pockets

Build the Wall!!!!!!

Were you on the count down on the debt clock when OBAMA added more than either of last 2 administrations of 16 years had added to the debt Didn’t think so. But your tracking this President.

realDonaldTrump winning ResignNow TrumpShutown TrumpResign

Obama best that number 3 times . Try again.

If the fake news only would have cared during the Obama years, this would mean something. One sided news reporting

How’s that working for you realDonaldTrump ? Failing big time!

Debt rises under democrat control, it rises under republican control. Guess it’s time to bring in the libertarians to fix this shit. Say goodbye to your handouts, it’s time to pay down the credit card.

Would like to remind everyone, that during a near global collapse, Mr. Obama reduced the *annual deficit* by 66%. Had Hillary or Trump DONE NOTHING, by 2020, we would be at breakeven; by 2021, we have a surplus, which could then pay down the long term *DEBT.*

On January 20, 2009, when Obama was sworn in, the debt was $10.626 trillion. On January 20, 2017, when he left, it was $19.947 trillion. So your point is?

Obama added 9! Didnt hear you bitching then

Yet, if he or any Republican proposed cutting a single dollar from a single program (besides defense), you’d vilify him for it.

The fact that the federal debt has been climbing for many years doesn't mean that it should continue. It's a problem that needs addressed. Preferably before we have to learn Chinese.

Yes and FOX News every night including Hanity told us for 8 years. Silent now.

Not going down anytime soon as we continue to borrow against our kids futures. 30 years of wasteful spending, but at least we each have a mobile phone. 🤔🤦‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Pretty good, slower growth than the left’s lord and savior Hussein Obama

Some perspective for CNN At end of 1999, USA debt was $5.5 trillion & we had no major extraterritorial military actions. Bush/Obama together caused tens of thousands of casualties in Middle East & raised debt to $20 Trillion. And oh, BTW, the M.E. is still a f’ing mess.

It’s a far cry from obozo who left 9 trillion to us

Obama spent more than all pres combined & doubled the debt. but now you care?

Well, I'm just going to leave this here.

The expert at bankrupting businesses, now the country.

$21.974 trillion Debt and FakeNews is arguing over 5 Billion....MORONIC!

Hey CNN is a Lying Machine

That's only $1 Trillion a year. Your potus cost us $10 Trillion in eight years as thousands of companies took their business overseas

But we can make billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions . And we are taking in and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions in tariffs

Maybe it wouldn't be so high if OBAMA DIDN'T GIVE BILLIONS TO THE Iranians!

When conservatives get political power they become big spenders. Remember Hastert. Mitch, Ryan & Co were principled conservatives during Obama's tenure. Debt and deficit were the watchwords. Now, they spending your money like it going out of style.

Costs money to feed,house,medical care,dental care,educate,all court costs of illegals that came all at once

I thought the republican was the party of fiscal responsibility?

Debt pyramid will collapse eventually.

And it grew how much during the Obama years?

Obama doubled it while in office just a little perspective

So what. He’s on track to match Obama. Tell your viewers the truth. Obama for 8 years = 8 trillion in debt.

Trump is going to bankrupt the United States.

It's because we overspend on programs such as Healthcare and social security and other programs like it. Have you guys even taken a look at the national budget. The government spends more than that collect in tax and its going to destroy our economy sooner or later.

Why do we spend 125 billion a year on illegals?

Thanks for helping contribute more to our nations debt, can you get us some better financing ?

Please show annual debt increases beginning in 2000. From what I can tell it’s gone up about $1T per year since then. Can’t eliminate debt when every new dollar is spent 2-3 times before its collected.

Debts can’t be defined in this case, there is no external lenders, all debts are in the states local currency,the dollar coverage of gold is unknown, and this claimed debt is always there, it’s mostly a stick to impose more taxes , in a nutshell , America deserves a better leader

So tired of winning

Classic CNN: you extol virtues of Socialism and Democratic programs without any regard to how they get paid for yet still attack Trump on this issue. If Fed would stop dousing growth and Dem’s would support ANY GOP initiatives, stop aiding countries that hate us...

Funny, obama did worse!

To be factual it was leveling off but then illegal immigration jumped 90% in 2017, so it's no wonder the uptick in debt.

You lead people to believe this debt is somehow his doing? Not the previous ass-clowns that sat in the Oval Office signing inflated budget after budget that lifers sitting in the House & Senate sent to that desk to be signed. Strange how they’re all rich, yet America is broke...

Hasn't it went up every year that every president has been in office? I don't think this is just a Trump issue.

Yup, this is how you get a BOOMING Economy, YOU PAY FOR IT. It's to bad all American children under the age of 10 will be paying this debt for their entire lives then leaving the balance to their children. SUCH A GREAT PRESIDENT.

He will make the USA Bankrupt and start over, it's his Business Style.

Wow and Obama doubled it in his term with slow growth and poor consumer outlook

And our toilets are overflowing damage control The White House statement time, we all waiting. No clean up of toilets for new standards of let it flow let it flow. Sell our food products internationally before it too late

How much did it go up under BarackObama? Also, can you RT all of your comments about the national debt under Obama. Asking for a friend.

More fake news! Did you ever call out Obama and the Dems for the 6+ trillion they are responsible

ZZZZZzzzzz Now do Obama

Trump ODOGWU NWOKE. Anu Ana agba egbe Ona ta suya

We are in debt because Obama put us in debt with China trying to kill America

Now do Obama

OMG, realDonaldTrump you look so ill ( me being nice ).

Fiscal conservatism is dead and buried.

The pentagons lost over $8 trillion in less than 20 years. Nope no idea where that went... But i assure you it has nothing to do with the moon. 8trillionDollarWar moonkids babybloodcocktails

Golfing isn't cheap

Tarif man said he loves debt, so why wonder he has such a large national debt.

Same GOP BS different year. They will never learn that until you make the rich pay their fair share of the taxes and provide higher wages, affordable healthcare and better jobs for the Middle Class, we will always be one step away from a recession & a destructive housing market.

realDonaldTrump said he would reduce the deficit. He LIED AGAIN. heil 45 keeps lying to you America. Why are you trying to keep him in the White House? Shame on you if you are still in his corner after all his lies. You're not thinking

Hey stock market up over 700 you going to report it or are you hoping it will go down before end of trading

Obama caused it according to realDonaldTrump

For years, we heard the Repubs screaming they are better at handling the country's finances. Little did we know running up the debt is their way of doing it.

As long and the Uber rich got their tax cuts it’s all good. Who needs good roads and bridges? Infrastructure, what’s that?!? Too expensive

Are we surprised though?

immichaelmoore

Its all those obama phones being ng handed out like candy

Yep, and the Dems were no help trying to reduce the deficit! The budget remains fully intact with some increases from the Obama years!

ImpeachTrump

Remember guys America first

Bc it goes up by itself every year fakenews FakeNewsMedia FakenewsCNN

After being handed an economy that was humming at the time...

Debt is always going higher, Hillary as president or trump. Both parties cannot stop spending government money.

Trump的‘务实’不被他的百姓所理解,可见中国的方法在美国是行不通的,同样,美国的方法在中国也行不通😄

Thank God the Tea Party 'Patriots' (see Klan) are still screaming from the rooftops about crippling national debt! Oh, wait... GOPdebt teabaggers GOPComplicit

so now that trump is in office the national debt is now a concern? Where was the concern when it rose 86% under the previous administration?

He only loses if he signs a bill with no wall funding his base will continue to support him cause he’s fighting the establishment if he bundles under pressure he will loose support democrats will have to give trump wall and dems will get dreamers and probs medicate expansion

I see the Republicans continue to be the fiscally responsible party ..... he says sarcastically.

Trump just added over 300k new jobs

Because Obama was so fiscally responsible!? Gtfoh

So he is running the same budget deficits that obama didnfor eight years? Cool. has no issue with debt then.

That’s cos it’s all in his fat lil pockets

Obama added 10 trillion to the deficit and never got over 2% annual GDP

Obama broke all records in this category.

Trump always stares impeachment in the face & will have thrown temper tantrum in the White House! Trump is almost over.ImpeachTrump

ha ha Trump policy that policy can make America great again !
