As winter turns to spring in 2026, American politics is experiencing a bit of economic-messaging déjà vu from the Trump administration.
Much like last year at this time, the president has leapt headlong into a major new undertaking that threatens to rock an already-wobbly economy. And much like last year, the administration is asking Americans to accept some “short-term pain” for promised long-term gain.
In 2025, it was tariffs. In 2026, it’s the war with Iran.
Edit: this graph is probably outdated since now the National debt is soon to reach 39T… so add another 2 T to the pedophiles pie there.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…
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
Ahhh yeah this makes sense, thanks :)
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 :)
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.
