The things that have traditionally been painted as bad and the sign of a poor president are the exact things Trump is doing completely on purpose. Everyone wants to hold onto the idea that he’s failing because they still evaluate this effectiveness by those standards.
When the goal is no longer to do what is best for the USA and the world as whole, you lose all scale of measurement. The next 5+ presidents will be evaluated on a scale of just how much better they are than Trump relatively. Some idiot who only increases the debt by 15 trillion, started only 3 wars, and alienated one or two allies instead of all of them will be lauded as a step in the right direction. Weird waters ahead.
Republicans want a small federal government and strong state governments. So, if you get control of the federal government, cut taxes, then spend, spend, spend it into default, the federal government collapses. At that point state governments *have* to step up and become strong!

More importantly, congress creates the spending bills, and under Obama, Democrats had control for only the first two years of his administration, and only had the house for two of Biden’s. Republicans have all three houses now, with Trump, and our debt is going stratospheric under their complete rule.

This is AI slop and bullshit numbers
Trump added $7-8b in his first term and is up to another $2-3 so far second term. The label on the graph and claiming Trump added $30+ billion is complete misinformation.

Record amount of debt added and there is no meaningful benefits for the people paying taxes. Every single republican bitching and moaning about how we can’t afford to forgive student loans, fund any social safety net program, have sane affordable government run Healthcare insurance like other countries, or pretty much anything else that benefits tax payers but would “blow up the deficit” need to be tarred and feathered for supporting everything that the current trump admin is doing to destroy the US and cause a financial crisis worse than any seen before

Biden is higher because of Covid economic rescue.
Obama is higher than zero because of Great Recession TARP stimulus’s.
Clinton achieved total balance or better.

You could say he added $30 trillion to the debt, but what he actually did was steal $30 trillion from US tax payers.

Trump is not helping by any stretch of the imagination but this infograph is far from accurate.
Republicans are going to be really mad at Biden for this in 2028.
A big part of Biden’s adding to the debt were the cost of covid recovery and the loss of tax revenue from Trump’s tax cuts.
If you account in the budfet deficit change, which is what matters more, you will see even a much greater differences.
