Fact Check: "This is a Biden hangover.”

Trump added $2.1 trillion to the deficit. Biden then reduced it by $942 billion.

In the last 50 years, the deficit has increased by a total of $3.8 trillion under Republican presidents. Under Democrats, it’s gone down by $2.1 trillion.
Donald Trump Just Proved He’s an Economic Idiot. Again.
His MAGA sycophants knew all along that his central economic proposal was a sham, but they repeated his lies. And now the economy is cracking.

Let me get this straight? You want anyone who killed a police officer to receive the death penalty, but you pardoned the January 6th insurrectionists who beat the shit out of them with flags? You praise a child who survived cancer (thank God), but you slashed cancer funding? #presidentialaddress.

This is what the face of someone who has been betrayed looks like. Remember this image.

So this is what leadership looks like? We only stand with our allies when we get half of their resources?

John Adams wrote in a letter to Abigail "Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it."

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

WATCH: Elon Musk joins President Trump in the Oval Office to speak with the press. Musk and Trump both made numerous claims and assertions without providing any evidence.

Elon Musk talking about what the founders would think today is rich. As a historian I can say they would be disappointed at best, but not for the reasons President Musk believes.
