Any positive achievement by President Trump will immediately be attacked by the media. I couldn't believe the negative headlines I was reading from the MSM after this announcement, yet crickets from the press on Obama nearly doubling the national debt.

More money collected from capital gains taxes due to rising stock market?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Since it’s been a little over month since he’s taken office, we will have to see whether this is Trump’s doing, or something that was building before he took office.

Hopefully, this will become a trend that he can take credit for.

The debt will be paid off in less than 1,400 years at that rate.

I wouldn't seriously put to much stock in this, as we can see it has been going up and down. It has actually gone up 28 million since Feb. 1st. Let's not celebrate this just yet. Looks promising, but an incomplete picture to be sure.

I sincerely hope it is a trend that holds true in the long haul.

Isn’t there a typo in this article? Isn’t the national debt 19 trillion, not 19 billion?

[P-Marlowe]

The day before Trump was sworn into office, January 20, 2017, the national debt was $19,947 billion. A month later on February 21, 2017, the US debt was reduced to $19,935 billion,

Hey Rufus, those are Trillions, not Billions.

[SFConservative]

These numbers normally bounce around a little bit (if you’re willing to call $10-20B little) and there are always relatively flat spots that go on for many weeks and then a fairly big spike comes in. So this short-term story is meaningless. If the story had been written on 02/15/2017, it would have read: “Trump increases national debt by $51 billion in one week!”

On Thursday, Senate leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, said Congress will follow through on Trump’s border wall order, and McConnell estimated it will cost . . . $12 billion . . .

Coincidence?

WOOOOHOOOOO President Trump!!! Thank you, sir.

[TBP]

Well, they’ve been telling us it wasn’t possible to reduce the debt. So obviously, he couldn’t have, right? And if he did, it must be a bad thing.

That’s the way the fake media operates.

Now, in fairness, the debt is $20 trillion, so $12 billion isn’t a lot. But it’s a nice start.
