Trump Raises Questions About U.S. National Debt
In a surprising turn of events, President Donald Trump has suggested that the United States national debt might be lower than the officially reported $36 trillion. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump raised concerns about potential fraudulent practices in Treasury debt payments, prompting a closer look at the nation’s financial records.
“We’re even looking at Treasuries,” Trump said. “There could be a problem – you’ve been reading about that, with Treasuries and that could be an interesting problem.”
Wow!
The President’s comments have sparked a flurry of activity within his administration, with officials now reviewing payment records to identify wasteful spending and possible fraud in debt payments. This move comes as the U.S. public debt stands at a staggering $36.2 trillion, representing over 120% of the country’s GDP.

Trump’s assertions have far-reaching implications for the nation’s financial transparency and economic outlook. The President elaborated on his suspicions, stating, “It could be that a lot of those things don’t count. In other words, that some of that stuff that we’re finding is very fraudulent, therefore maybe we have less debt than we thought.”
While the possibility of a lower national debt might seem positive on the surface, financial experts warn that such claims require thorough investigation and verification. The current debt level necessitates continued borrowing to avoid default, and Trump’s proposed tax cuts could potentially increase the national debt further.
In a parallel development, tech mogul Elon Musk has been tasked with overhauling the federal government’s efficiency. However, this initiative has quickly become embroiled in controversy, sparking protests and legal challenges from far-left Democrats and globalists.
The situation escalated when a federal judge temporarily blocked Musk’s team from accessing government payment systems due to so-called “privacy risks.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent attempted to allay fears by stating that Musk’s team only had “read-only” access to the payment system. Nevertheless, the legal challenge has halted progress on this efficiency initiative.
Democrats working to keep the system inefficient…are you surprised?
