  • First, obligatory disclaimer: I’m as anti-Trump as the next one, fuck that fascist turd. That being said let’s give them numbers a bit of context:

    • That figure is for all the time that Trump’s been in office, and in absolute terms is around $9.135T (as of May 2026, so a bit more now).

    • Some numbers for other presidents: Joe Biden $9.209T (+32%), Barack Obama $8.438T (+70.9%), George W Bush $4.218T (+72.6%), Bill Clinton $1.263T (+28.6%). Source.

    • At the current interest rate Americans are gonna pay $1T just in interests in 2026. That averages ~$250 per person, or ~$625 per tax payer a month.

    • Interest payments are forecast to double in the next ~10 years.
