What are you talking about? You just say whatever serves you, facts be damned.

Here are the facts!! The debt rose 40% under trump and the tax cuts for the rich were even MORE than the Republicans originally put forth

And I'll bet you have Medicare, so how would you feel if Trump got rid of it?

"Debt growth under Donald TrumpFrom the beginning of Donald Trump’s presidency in 2017 to its end in 2021, the national debt increased by 40.43%, about $8.18 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.
