Trump didn't add anything. - "didn't add anything"? That is not entirely true...

TRUMP SAID HE WOULD ERASE AMERICA'S DEBT IN 8 YEARS. IT'S NOW BIGGER THAN EVER.
Irwin M. Stelzer
October 20, 2018
As a candidate, Donald Trump promised to get rid of the entire national debt “over a period of eight years.” When this promise was made, the national debt stood at $19 trillion; it has since risen to $21.7 trillion. In the fiscal year ending September 30, it grew by $779 billion, up 17 percent from $666 billion in fiscal 2017. This year, after the Trump tax cuts take full effect, another $1 trillion worth of government IOUs will be issued.

TRUMP ONCE PROMISED TO ELIMINATE THE NATIONAL DEBT IN 8 YEARS - BUT HIS NEW BUDGET SHOWS THE PRESIDENT IS GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
Bob Bryan
Mar. 11, 2019
-In 2016, Trump promised to totally wipe out the national debt over eight years in office.
-The budget indicates the White House no longer thinks that's possible.
In April 2016, then-candidate Donald Trump promised the $19 trillion national debt would be eliminated "over a period of eight years" during an interview with The Washington Post.
But Trump's latest budget, released Monday, shows that instead of shrinking the US's record debt load the president is adding to it.
According to the budget, which is mostly a statement of principles and will likely undergo major revisions in Congress, the annual budget deficit — the difference between how much revenue the government brings in and how much it spends — will reach $1.1 trillion in fiscal years 2019 and 2020.

So Trump when he sends troops to the southern border did not add anything to the debt.
Trump when he goes to his estate almost every other weekend and bills the American taxpayer almost $ 4 million for each visit, or the security for his extended family, and the many trips they take overseas to conduct business on behalf of the Trump Organization does not add anything to the deficit.

Those are just the minor things that add barely a billion or two for his benefit, and the benefit of his family.

Then those daily mishaps he keeps having when he changes his mind on trade, let's see it has been two years and still no TPP trade agreement, then there is that China trade dispute that has not been resolved costing American almost a trillion or two, or maybe three, who can count up all of the lost revenue.

Then there is NAFTA that he suspended, and he still Congress has not ratified the new deal, because Congress has not seen it yet.

The list keeps growing, but then you never really care about details and reality, you just like Trump's daily headlines of whatever comes out of his mouth.

All of the health stocks keep falling because Trump stated he was going to have a health plan, then he changed his mind.

Meanwhile the healthcare sector is in disarray while Trump is in office not knowing what he will do next to add to his confusion over healthcare.

Meanwhile the price for healthcare is expected to rocket higher again this year do the uncertainty that Trump has tossed him the equation.

You can only blame Trump for all of the confusion he keeps telling everyone he is going to do something with healthcare, and then he doesn't, meanwhile the confusion adds to the cost.

The next time you say something like Trump does not add to the spending, take a step back and remember that Trump opens his mouth everyday and causes the problems the rest of America has to deal with.

A President solves problems, and Trump never does that, he just creates chaos and confusion.
