That is a fact. https://www.thebalancemoney.com/us-deficit-by-year-3306306 No amount of opinions can change that fact. That's why opinions are not valid sources for supporting claims. Pointing out the obvious is not censorship, but it is obviously a waste of time when dealing with Trump supporters. I don’t believe you or your sources. How’s that? But please keep posting if helps you cope. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step out of your echo chamber and see what's really going on I've never been in an echo chamber since I grew up and realised that almost everything I read in a newspaper or see on tv "news" is propaganda or advertising. Take you assertion that Trump is the "worst president ever" which is obviously a biased nonsense. In my lifetime, Bush the younger is the worst president, having gone to war on a lie and caused the deaths of thousands, and chaos in the Middle East which continues to this day. Nixon comes a close second with his war crimes of invading Cambodia. Trump, on the other hand started no wars, was responsible for no American boys coming home in a bag, and endeavored to secure the border and make friends with other countries instead of attacking them and killing a lot of people. If that's being the worst president, they should all endeavor to be as bad as he. It's a bit sad to me that some people, even on here, are so brainwashed by the MSM that they actually believe not starting wars is worse than starting them. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wars happened on his watch. I agree of course that Nixon and Bush Jr. were very bad presidents. Nixon's crimes seem trivial compared to Trump's crimes though. Bush Jr. Iraq fiasco was perhaps the worst foreign policy mistake in American history. Edited March 3 by Jingthing 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show the pity for yourself. Like it not Fox is legitimate, acceptable news and here to stay. Perhaps not in your eyes but who are you to dictate to anyone what’s acceptable and real. You sound like a dictator , facist, Marxist and Nazi all rolled into one. Exactly what the left claims Trump to be. You don’t agree with Fox so no one should be able to post news or opinions. Classic leftist! So as long as the left posts their news, I’ll continue to post Fox. You don’t have to like it, but you’re going to have to deal with it. The scroll button is a nice feature too, and it’s free. Check the forum rules or consult with a moderator. Escape your echo chamber. Bizarre how some get stuck in there. Fox News is ok. It's the opinion hosts that are liars. As shown for Tucker above. Sad some fall for the lies. Heck, actually like them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you weren't glued to your Pattaya barstool adding adipose tissue to your ever-expanding girth, you could use actual USG websites to see that under trump the total National Debt, in just 4 years, grew by $8,400,000,000,000, or a 41% increase over the total National Debt since the US' founding. You would need to account for ALL additions to the debt, including the OBS stuff. Playing the chubby little monkey with hands covering eyes and ears doesn't alter reality, just as trump producing farcical NFTs where he pretends he could be a fighter pilot or astronaut---as if the fatboy trust fund guy could ever be anything of the sort---doesn't alter the reality that he is a bloated, cowardly clown. There is some hilarious testimony in Cassidy Hutchinson's transcript where she says trump would even run to the White House bunker when a Code Pink protest showed up on PA Ave. Press reports at that time noted his cowardice, and trump wanted to find out who leaked and have them executed for treason (sic), according to both Hutchinson and melania's former CoS. That's your boy...afraid of the 70 year old women of Code Pink.....hardly fighter pilot material. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Putin, exactly which "corrupt autocrats" did he cozy up to. Biden soured our relationship with the Saudis. Like him or not, MBS is someone to have on our side. And it is not just because of oil. Rodrigo Duterte could have the done more damage if Trump had badmouthed him. Now Marcos Jr. has mended a rocky relationship.
