.@PressSec: We have a little chart here to help give you a visual. Almost $8 trillion in debt under Trump. $676 billion under Biden. What McConnell is refusing to do is pay the debts he rung up during the Trump administration.
THANK YOU!

As an illustrator and a teacher I can honestly say that no matter what age you are visuals get the point across in a second with just one image and that image sticks in your mind.

So not sure this is as strong of an argument as some think.
The Republicans do own 2017-2018 completely

Donald's only plan to grow the economy was debt.

Couldn't have spent a dime without the House and Senate approving it first.
Why do we care what Manchin or Sinema do then, if that isn't the case?
