I think also Trump enjoyed support from democrats when spending benefited the national interests. He had 4 years where he and his party spent unprecedented amounts of money in a time of economic growth. Democrats also didn’t hold the debt ceiling hostage like republicans have and are threatening to do so again.

Yahoo News... wow, glad you didn't go to a hard-left liberal propaganda source.... rolleyes


Re: "unprecedented spending"... You have to be joking. Obama DOUBLED the national debt in 8 years, from $10 trillion to 20 trillion when he left office. Biden has spent more in his first 6 moths than Trump spent in his entire presidency. And again, Trump wanted lower budgets, but the Democrats extorted pork spending to allow Trump's budgets to pass. For example, Trump pushed for a budget of 700 billion to re-build the military that Obama had destroyed. But Schumer, Pelosi and the Democrats extorted a total of $1.6 trillion before they would pass it, extorting an additional 900 billion beyond what Trump wanted, and because of the urgency and danger to the country of having a military where 50% of its planes were not combat ready, Trump allowed it.

So as usual, you're a propagandist, knowingly fronting your party's deceitful talking point lies, instead of the truth that it was Democrats pushing for that deficit spending, not Trump. You know that, but you perpetuate the lie anyway.
