Debt is now threatening America’s very existence
Despite running on promises to cut federal spending and slash the deficit in half by the end of his first term, federal spending
Immediately sent debt skyrocketing.

Compared his campaign staffers to the embassy staff killed in Libya.
Removed a bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office; after a columnist ridiculed the move, his administration called the columnist a liar and reassured the Brits the bust remained. But in fact the columnist was right — the Brits had taken the bust after the White House removed it — and the administration was forced to apologize.
