Yes, he starts handling the debt immediately and forthwith. Their first action adds 9,700,000,000,000 the our national debt. Rough a 1/3 increase.....for starters. Amazing how the GOP was budget hawks now they are WhoGivesAfuckicans. They will rebalance te USA in favor of corporations being allowed to do as they please in the name of money because we all know that Trumps religious affiliation is CURRENCY.
