Edit: this graph is probably outdated since now the National debt is soon to reach 39T.. so add another 2 T to the pedophiles pie there. Fucking moron.
Tell the idiot the trick of this pie is to NOT have the biggest slice...

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Won't that get worse when they have to pay back the tariff money? I assume they don't just have the money laying around and they are just going to borrow more to pay those.
I imagine it'll get a lot worse. You gotta include legal fees from all the companies that will be suing for the refund.
Is this adjusted for inflation? Not that I think Trump is any less of a fucking moron if it isn't, just curious
Given that it is the current debt in today's dollars, it is automatically adjusted for inflation.
I'm awful at math, but how the hell is 12.5 a third of 24.5?!
$12.5T is about a third of the total, which is $37T. $24.5T is the other ~2/3s
He did say that he was awful at maths.
This is why the 1/3 pounder isn't a thing.
I know how fractions work, I just thought about the graph wrong. But yes, am awful at math (singular).
Ahhh yeah this makes sense, thanks :)
Yikes, I hope you have someone review your taxes...
It's not, it's about one half. But the chart is of three halves and one of the three belongs to Trump.
I get it now, thanks :)
Trump keeps TELLING Americans to sacrifice.
FIFY
With entitlement you don't ask.
"Grab them by the pussy. When you're famous they 'let' you do it."
I want to highlight again (I have numerous times in the past) as a human being this is who Americans said they were ok with. Forget policy. Forget politics. Americans twice have elected a man who openly thinks women are less than men.
Pretty popular republican concept. Even the women go for it.
It really frustrates me as a non-American that they don't get it. As a general human being he is disgusting. This is who, on a world stage, they feel represents them.
Are they so dumb that they don't realize, or so self-indulgent they don't care? Either is scary.
We are dumb, self indulgent, greedy, and fearful. With no reason to be any.
Combination of dumb, hateful, and self-righteous. The ratio changes but every Trump voter I've known is drawing from those three wells. And they tend to have poor emotional understanding and regulation, so they're easily frightened (and being scared makes them mad).
Especially when your goons make death threats afterwards.
I'm wondering when will Americans pick up pitchforks and drag this orange scum out of the White House and hang him on a street lamp by his balls. Like, what the serious actual fuck? Not only Trump fucked up USA entirely, his dumbass war on Iran pushed entire world into like 8th "once in a lifetime" bullshit crisis.
I think a gas station is more fitting these days.
Unfortunately would never happen. They’re to cowardly and the majority still support all of them in power.
If they weren’t so indoctrinated they would be a nation with free healthcare care for all, actual social security nets and offerings, and persecuting those bars in the Epstein lists.
But no they cower begging for scraps whilst other nations get ready to send US children to die on some sand dune.
You've been downvoted but I agree.
The streets should be being protested by the second amendment groups if no one else, yet it's just minor protests with a few bigger ones thrown in every 6 months or so.
I keep on saying that a dementia riddled, orange child rapist, shitty reality TV star, 6 timed bankruptcy champion, and confirmed rapist, pants shitter is overtaking their whole country and putting his Own Brand™ version of the Gestapo on the streets to murder their fellow country people and there's hardly any real major protests about it.
Less about bravery and more about acting as a group without being paid to do so. We have plenty of lone wolves but that's not what's needed.
Let's pretend you live in Spain. What's the logistical likelihood of you and your mates going to Ukraine and ousting someone?
The US is fucking huge. Imagine mobilizing a crowd from the midwest to Washington, forget the west coast. Chicago to DC is 696 miles (1120 km for the civilized). Illinois, where Chicago is, has a population of 12 million. That's a lot of organizing we don't already have in place. We're working on it.
Moron
The tariffs were deemed illegal and now need to be refunded.
But not to you or I.
Nope. In fact the cost of the refunds will be passed onto the taxpayer, just like the cost of the tariffs were passed onto to the consumer. We get to pay for them twice.
Americans aren’t even willing to make sacrifices for the things they claim to want
Yeah, dictators are known for promising good things after enduring "just a few months of pain," as this pain becomes the signature of their rule.
I hope this was worth it for you, Americans.
I had sort of abusive family so it's easy to hear.through the bs. Dude can't say anything without bringing in emotions.
