We know that everything said; everything Trump promised during the 2016 campaign was a lie. His accomplishments in two years, five months, and 26 days are a big zero.

One of his promises was to “wipe out” our nation’s $22 trillion deficit. It is clear now that he had no plan; everything he said was nothing more than hot air. Today the truth was told. “The 2019 deficit has been revised to a projected $1.0 trillion,” the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) wrote in its midyear review.

This is another historical “first” for Trump. Other than the four years of the “great recession” this is the only time in history our nation experienced such a huge loss of revenue.

The deficit is entirely the responsibility of Donald John Trump and his failed fiscal policies, as well as his personal spending habits which cost taxpayers more than $16 million each month.

Most of this increase in the deficit is attributed directly to the Republican Party’s “tax reform.” The only permanent tax cuts were given to the one percent of wealthiest Americans. Most importantly, reducing the corporate tax rate reduced some major corporation’s contributions to our economy to zero. Trump became the most wasteful illegitimate president in history. Another Republican administration which proves they are unable to govern the United States of America.

Not only is he bankrupting the American treasury, he and his Klan are using the national treasury as their personal bank. Trump’s frequent trips to Mar-a-Lago and other millionaire’s only resorts; his hate rallies designed to protect his fragile ego; his many golf excursions; his family’s lavish vacations; these wastes of taxpayer money add up to $16 million each month. If you doubt these facts, consider this.

The cost of operating Air Force One is in excess of $200,000 per hour. When his Klan travels on other government and military aircraft, the cost is approximately $80,000 per hour. Add these figures to the other costs of travel and the figure of $16 million is likely underestimated.

The Trump Klan is living lives of billionaires at taxpayer expense.

America cannot afford Trump’s illegitimate presidency.
