The media has not reported that the National Debt in my first month went down by $12 billion vs a $200 billion increase in Obama first mo.

This is bizarre, by even the dismal standards of the Tweeter-in-Chief. After all, Barack Obama had no influence on the budget during the first month he was in office, and The Donald hasn’t exercised any influence over the budget for the first month of his tenure.
Does he not know that? Does he think the rest of us don’t know that? Are the people who voted for him so abysmally ignorant that he is betting they don’t know that? Are they so abysmally ignorant that they’ll chock it up as one more indignity visited upon The Donald by the enemies of the people?
Seriously: What gives here? At face value, it looks goddam crazy.
