Scarborough Slams Trump Admin’s Deficit Record: ‘This Is on Him, Not Cows’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “You’re going to blame a war on cows for the fact that tariff policies and all the other horrific policies that are being put in place continue to cost groceries — make groceries spike, continue to make rent spike. Willie, just on the last issue about debt and on deficits, I actually do know something about this. I don’t know if I told you, I was in Congress. We balance the budget four years in a row. The only Congress that have done that in 100 years. Let me just tell you. Donald Trump, in his first term, before Joe Biden was president, before Joe Biden stepped into the Oval Office, he oversaw deficit spiking a record number, 317%. Deficits went up, from the beginning of his term to the end of his term, 317%. That increase from Obama. In the second term, already in his first year, CBO is projecting it’s going to at least be a 20% increase so far this year. During Biden’s final year, deficits were actually going down. Now, once again, they’re going up. So there are three things they cannot deny, Willie. Number one, under Donald Trump term one and term two, we’ve had the largest deficits in the history of America. In fact, Donald Trump has accounted for one out of every $3 in our federal debt. Think about that. He’s president 45 and 47? Well, yeah. He has been responsible for one third of our federal debt. The other 44 presidents will take the two thirds. Secondly, we have the highest deficits ever. That’s based on his choices, his choices for tax cuts for the rich, his choices for making the Pentagon spending go up to record levels, his choice to start an unnecessary war that is costing us billions and billions of dollars, and his choice to actually put out the biggest, most pork barrel budget of all time. This is on him, not cows. It’s on him. And the numbers show it clearly.”
