At 10 year treasury rate of 2.5% that is $2.5 billion in interest each year that Trump has saved us. $12.5 billion a year compared to another Obama.

All I can say is that for various reasons, partly due to Trump's election, my Fed Income tax is going to be 5x last year's.

Note 5 x 0 is still zero, an approximation for me....

This is nonsense.

The US debt historically goes down in Q1 and 2. Then catches up- in Q3 and 4.

Who could possibly believe Trump has anything to do with this?

You don’t think it is possible that someone can come into office, do things the way they have never been done before, and that there is no possibility things could change in any way whatsoever?

I admit to wondering how the conclusion was arrived at, but if one uses the same tool to measure both Obama and Trump, and it is a US government tool (https://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/debt/search?startMonth=01&startDay=20&startYear=2017&endMonth=03&endDay=19&endYear=2017) why is that invalid?

Can you say that Trump had nothing to do with it, and what do you base that on?

This is a silly story. The debt goes up and down over short spans of time. The President doesn't have a whole lot of effect over the budget in the short term. A new President doesn't really have an appreciable impact on the budget for many months. Let's look at this same thing a year from now.

The following is the daily debt totals since January 1.

01/03/2017 19,935,025,589,392.85
