REPORT: TRUMP HAS DECREASED NATIONAL DEBT BY HUGE AMOUNT

The U.S. debt clock has begun spinning backward since President Trump took office. When President Trump took office on Jan. 20, the total national debt was $19,947,304,555,212, or nearly $20 trillion. While there are fluctuating cycles of increase and decrease, the debt reached a high of $19,959,593,604,841 on Feb. 28, 2017, stalled, and since March 14, 2017, has continually dropped:

In the same period after Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2009, the debt rose $320 billion, an increase of 3.1 percent. During Obama’s eight years, the national debt nearly doubled, giving Trump’s predecessor the distinction of having increased it more than any other administration in history.

Total U.S. National Debt has now decreased by more than $100 billion.

Obama had the aftermath of Bush's war to deal with..it's also easy to make the deficit disappear when you cut hundreds of millions from federal parks and the epa..

Wait and see what happens after the huge tax cuts we were promised take effect.

I can't remember a time in history when it ran backwards! I'm 63, too!

MAGA!

The Central Bankers will not allow Mr. Trump to decrease the national debt.
It is that simple.
Ask the Kennedy family . . .

It's the DEFICIT clock running backwards, NOT the debt clock.

But, it's still a GREAT start!
