Trump is actually cutting costs and eliminating fraud and waste... whereas Biden was "throwing gold bars off the Titanic."

Feel free to dispute this with links from "a credible source" because those numbers do not reflect multiple metrics. Anyhow, they seem to be keeping things together for now, but expect a transition to a digital currency soon.
Math isn't political.

Compared to the federal spending of $6.29 trillion for the same period last year (Oct 2023 - Aug 2024) our federal spending has increased by $376 billion.

Trump has no interest in cutting the deficit, he's had plenty of opportunity. He does have interest in making you think he is.

He does have interest in cutting funding for things he doesn't like, especially vindictively, while greatly expanding spending for things he does. Don't confuse that for him "helping" the common American or reducing the deficit (which he has never done). All of your expenses will continue to inflate.
