I won't bother with the rest because you're obviously dazzled by all the bluster, flag-waving and hollow distractions like "Space Force" and there's simply no point.

I don't care if you believe me or if you simply wish to take all his pronouncements at face value and remain wilfully ignorant. Just be aware that not everybody is as naive and most of his "alternative facts" are actually deliberate lies.

Oh, and as for Obama debt - he indeed added $8.588 trillion, a 74-percent increase from the $11.657 trillion debt at the end of Bush’s last budget, FY 2009 - party as a result of the GFC bail-outs.

Trump already plans to add $8.282 trillion debt, a 41- percent increase from the accumulated $20.245 trillion debt at the end of Obama's last budget for FY 2017.

If he spends as he hopes, Trump will add almost as much in his first term as Obama did in two terms.

rache,

OH dear, you really should read past the headline. The 'proof' (such as it is) that poverty is increasing under Trump is based on data from 2016 ie from before the time when Trump took over.

As to the claim that homelessness is increasing "due to cuts in welfare" you have no evidence that homelessness is increasing or that there are any actual welfare cuts...just an article that welfare cuts may occur in the future. Logic takes a holiday...or in your case did it ever visit?

Seriously, how can homelessness increase due to welfare cuts that haven't even occurred?

"I don't care if you believe me ..."

I'll start believing you when you start offering views based on the real world.
