"Mr. President, national debt metrics indicate we are rapidly approaching the unprecedented $40 trillion threshold under your administration's current deficit trajectory. How do you respond to economists who warn this milestone threatens long-term American solvency?"
President Donald Trump
"That is a completely biased and hostile question from ABC Fake News! You don't mention the hundreds of billions we are saving by eliminating waste, reviving domestic manufacturing, or our massive tariff revenues. Our economy is roaring, and previous administrations dumped trillions in worthless bureaucracy. We're fixing it!"
