Say one word and its yours. Man...

13 trillion of which was created by Obama in between sending pallet loads of cash to Iran and Hilary's moonlighting pay for play antics.

Here comes all the...Well Obama’s debt was...”made up figures” tweets

Multitask

The OB Administration added 10T of that 22T during their tenure and can anyone state what we got for it?

God help us.That credit card bill can not be paid.💰💰💰

Hello are you in there

There will always be something that needs straightening out. The debt will be crushing when interest rates rise. Don’t know when that will happen, but history tells us that it inevitably happens.

Means he has no clue about national debt and downplays it's importance

Code for ‘I’m the King of DEBT and I’m leaving the sucker taxpayers with trillions more after giving rich people a big tax break.’

GOP no longer cares about debt, I guess

Day 755.FAILED election,FAILED fake Russian witch hunt, FAILED attempted block of a SCJ,FAILED national security policies and FAILED attempt at impeaching a successful president. 0-5 We the people are winning.Nat. Socialists illegal means will never see its end result.

He said he fixed the military months ago. It broke again? 😂😂😂

He has not served himself, so he needs to stay out of this part. The general needs to handle this since he is not in touch with the military. This goes for any party of Presidents that have not served.

Generally conservative policies are best for the country. That being said, if we are going to get control of debt we MUST cut Medicaid (Obamacare expansion) SNAP, and defense.

I'm all for streamlining the military but unfortunately look around the world :( probably wouldn't be a good idea yet and I'd rather err on the safe side. Need to squeeze more money out of United Nations.

Well, the next Democrat President should have no issue getting universal healthcare, fixing social security and making college tuition affordable. The fiscal conservatives have just backed spending whatever’s needed by supporting this jackass.

When you all stop making money on military and focus on taxation american and all business domestically land not in tax paradises then it might appear that the debts cases are solved...

That's about as Republican as you can get.

Lower taxes (for the rich) and fiscal responsibility (no money for people who are struggling but money for rich people doing contract work).

'If people like PaulRyan would have stepped-up, we wouldn't have this NationalEmergency..... I don't want to talk about it!' GOPTaxScam GOPCorruption

I thought the military was the strongest it's ever been before...so what's left to straighten out.....or maybe he doesn't know how to fix the debt

Dumb as a stump.

Man where is that tea party movement now?

Ahem...said as he takes a portion of the DOD's funds for the wall. (Cough..Cough)

Spoken like a true conservative 🙄

Best president since Reagan. Give em hell Mr president!!!

Straighten out the military? How is he going to straighten out the military? Just because he’s Commander-In-Chief, that doesn’t give him the right to make the military his personal goon squad. The best thing he can do for the military is leave!

I never want to hear again how the Republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility

Unbelievable! This is the the most stupid,arrogant mothefucker President ever! With his supporters!

Mr Heel Spurs To Heal the US Military. Cue Twilight Zone theme...

The $22T debt he made so much worse with his insane tax cut for the wealthiest Americans... TrumpIsTheNationalEmergency

the military is and has been bloated for years, we spend almost as much as every country on earth combined

key word AFTER!!!

Because its not his money.

America... F-Yeah!

So you won't be reducing the national debt as you claimed multiple times?

in every budget plan, there is always emergency budget which some call miscellaneous budget which a leader can use it when it's needed. FinishTheWall
