The next time I hear msm and the liberal communist whining about the cost of security for POTUS and his family. I’ll just tell them when he spends what he saved his first month in office, then you can cry, But until then STHU.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Liberal heads are exploding.

[Farmer Dean]

And it’s a beautiful thing.

...just by winning the election and not allowing Hillary to be in charge of the national pocket book. ;)

Media won;t report any of this, just like when he has done really good things. The media re invested in spouting negativity about him to bring him down.

We have FReepers who lambaste Trump tor these ‘nickle and dime’ fixes, when SS, welfare, and federal retirements are the only place to get “tangible” change.

What can one man, without a cabinet in place, do? I would say he's doing what he can without help from anyone—including our Congress.

the US Debt stood at $19,947 billion

Wasn't that supposed to say trillion?

[SandRat]

Forgive me FREEPERS, but I'm laughing so HARD, at all the PESD, & SNOWFLAKES, that my ribs(sides) hurt.

Those figures they are using for his weekend travel are fake anyway
Except for jet fuel every member of every crew and security person is on the payroll every day whether Trump goes to FL or stays in DC

I wonder if he even bills the USG for his stay at his FL resort - doubtful

Maybe some good reporter will dig up truthful numbers
Regardless, the man is worth it

“On January 20th, the day of the Trump Inauguration, the US Debt stood at $19,947 billion.”

A big typo there. The US debt is measured in TRILLIONS of dollars, not billions!

[GCC Catholic]

19-thousand billion. Poor way to say it in most cases, but when comparing to billions of dollars saved, it keeps everything lined up.

[central_va]

So the USA in now running a budget surplus? I don’t think so.

[VanDeKoik]

[mac_truck]

This administration seems determined to keep the debt below $20 trillion dollars.

[central_va]

$19,947 Billion = $19.947 Trillion. Get it?

[katana]

They do need to correct the figure to the total debt as $19 plus trillion (not "billion"). And it would be nice to know what caused the $12 billion decline. I'd suspect the change in the psychology of the markets has increased economic activity and revenue. And that unlike Obama, Trump has been working and not throwing money around on the perpetual vacations of a n***** rich drag queen.

[katana]

Ah, a comma instead of a period. Got it.

The deficit is actually going down. Amazing.
