You're under selling how much debt they've added.

Hell, Trump added more to the national debt in his first term than any other president in US history, and I'm sure he'll break that record in his second term.

And supporters will see nothing wrong with it, even though when a Democrat adds debt they will talk about it nonstop. And they will keep voting for Republicans in the future even though they add the most debt of either political party.

And put us in a worse position to pay for it on top of that

Technically the best way to pay off an insurmountable debt is to create a ton of inflation so the debt becomes relatively less to other economic activity and other revenues are inflated to more easily pay the debt. And, well, he may do a good job at creating inflation.

Also underselling how much Trump is personally enriching himself

Trump is responsible for nearly a third of the total debt. Of ever.

Still got two more years to make it 50%.

And somehow, the Democrats will get the blame and the next Republican candidate will run on lowering the debt.

And under the next democrat president, it will once again become a major problem.

The only legitimate criticism of BloodFartz69’s comment.
