He has a plan for making it a lot higher. Thats absolutely going to be the result of the plans he's put forward to date.

This would be in line with previous R administrations too, especially with a compliant congress. It buys some short term political goodwill. But look at where interest payments on the debt are now.....
The gov debt accelerated during both parties, there is no difference between blue or red. A new president always made it higher than the previous one, at least since the 20th century.

Yes both do it. But Rs do have a worse track record for this than Ds on average. At least in modern times.

I think that if they would deport people for everything law violation wise deport them for seeking services (yes including medical treatment (once stable and ( this probably would not happen, but ending birthright citizenship which came from slavery times anyway. These three would stop a lot of it as not only would people be deported, but also would stop a lot of the motivtion to come here. It would not have to be a roundup it would just be overt time deportion frankly (in many though one could agrue not all cases) their own choices.
I don’t think birthright citizenship will ever be reversed

When we zoom out a bit, the differences are insignificant. The debt just grows exponentially regardless what party is in power. Bush and Obama seem to make the highest jumps, compared to the previous president's debt.

P.S. I added a picture to my previous post.

Lots of missing info in that. Real dollars? Debt to GDP? Absent that kind of background, it looks suspiciously like something designed for partisan polemics.

Naw, that is in the liberal wheelhouse...anger, fear and revenge, but yes, America has spoken...spoken against the leftist liberal policies!
Victory for crassness, vulgarity, make up your own truth and somehow that makes America great?

So are you saying being a Christian sums up the reason why someone should win?
No, but I think it should certainly inform to what extent we support and celebrate their campaign and victory.

I think that’s where the lines have blurred.

There are Christian reasons to vote for him, but there are also many Christian reasons to rebuke him and admit that whilst he may do x or y, his character and conduct are contrary to Christian tradition and expectations and he shouldn’t be celebrated in the way he is.

Republican candidate Donald Trump is projected to win a presidential election for a second time, as NewsNation/ Decision Desk HQ projects he will win Pennsylvania.
Speaking to supporters at around 1:30 a.m. CT Wednesday, Trump said “this was a movement like nobody’s ever seen before.
“Frankly, this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time,” Trump said. “There’s never been anything like this in this country and maybe beyond, and now it’s going to reach a new level of importance because we’re going to help our country heal.”
Trump’s running mate and now Vice President-elect JD Vance, who also spoke, called the former president’s win the greatest political comeback “in the history of the United States of America.”

“He turned out to be a good choice,” Trump said of Vance.
Another person Trump praised during his remarks was Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who spent time in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, stumping for him. He also referenced Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying the former independent presidential candidate is going to “help make America healthy again.”

Kennedy has previously said Trump asked him to reorganize federal health agencies inclduing the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “It’s time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us,” Trump said. “It’s time to unite.”

Trump faced off against the Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris in a tight and highly contentious race.
With Trump’s projected win, the Republicans will regain control of the White House four years after they lost to President Joe Biden in 2020.

Harris speaks with Trump and concedes 2024 race
From CNN's Betsy Klein
Vice President Kamala Harris has officially conceded the 2024 election, calling President-elect Donald Trump to offer her congratulations on Wednesday.

Harris, a senior aide said, “called President-elect Trump to congratulate him on winning the 2024 presidential election. She discussed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans.”

A person familiar tells CNN the call only lasted a few minutes.

Harris is set to deliver remarks at 4 p.m. ET at Howard University — her alma mater.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins contributed reporting to this post.

There you go. A full concession in a reasonable amount of time. Shame on people in this thread calling her a coward or pretending she wasn't going to.

I sense a need to bring her down in a personal - not policy - way. It would help sooth the mixed feelings about clinging to a man of Trump's moral character.

Trump Won Because America Wanted Him To


Just after 5:30am on Wednesday, the Associated Press called Wisconsin for former and now future president Donald J. Trump, raising his total of electoral votes to the majority of 270 needed to win the electoral college. The popular vote count was on track to deliver a national mandate. Republicans also retook the Senate with a larger majority than anyone had predicted and appear poised to expand their slim House majority.

Trump's Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, sheepishly snuck out of her own election night party in Washington, leaving subordinates to tell her assembled crowd of supporters simply to go home. Trump moved from celebrations at his Mar-a-Lago residence and private club to West Palm Beach's convention center to deliver a victory speech to a larger gathering that included a wide media audience.

Trump's victory has the makings of a blowout, with all swing states either solidly in his column or leaning in his direction by several points at the time the race was called. These results flew in the face of most pre-election day polls, which predicted statistical ties or slight leads for Harris. Trump's comeback—arguably the greatest in American history—defied nearly a decade of unremitting mass media hostility, a once-in-a-century pandemic, open defiance from the federal bureaucracy, multiple criminal prosecutions, damaging civil legal actions, two impeachments, electoral defeat in 2020, dogged opposition within the Republican Party, myriad slights and slanders, and two assassination attempts.

Harris, whose campaign raised a billion dollars, outspent Trump at least three to one and commanded the loyalty not only of the Democratic Party but of virtually the entire Washington establishment and most of American institutional life.
