As further evidence that narcissistic sociopath Donald "Rump" Trump sees EVERYTHING through the prism of his own selfish needs and damaged ego, here's a window into his view on the burgeoning national debt , which he's contributed mightily to with his Tax Cuts for Plutocrats legislation:
Since the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump’s aides and advisers have tried to convince him of the importance of tackling the national debt.There's no better example of why "soak the rich" tax legislation that would target corporate predators and the Rumps / Kushners / Mnuchins etc. to offset the debt would be their just reward.
Sources close to the president say he has repeatedly shrugged it off, implying that he doesn’t have to worry about the money owed to America’s creditors—currently about $21 trillion—because he won’t be around to shoulder the blame when it becomes even more untenable. [snip]
“Yeah, but I won’t be here,” the president bluntly said, according to a source who was in the room when Trump made this comment during discussions on the debt. (our emphasis)
