Trump's Unfulfilled Debt Promise

Share

A 2016 statement from then-presidential candidate Donald Trump has been revisited in light of the current national debt situation. At that time, he said 'We've got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt.' In March 2016, the US national debt was indeed $19 trillion.

Fast forward to today: the national debt has more than doubled to a staggering $40 trillion. Trump's statement from six years ago now seems like an unfulfilled promise.

The stark contrast between then and now serves as a reminder of the nation's ongoing fiscal struggles. KuCoin, a cryptocurrency exchange, shared the information on Twitter, pointing out that 'so much for eliminating the national debt.'
