Trump likes to make things up.

He said Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if he were President. He said the Oct 07 attack on Israel would not have taken place if he were President.

Well, here is something that did happen when he is President.

Has US debt ever been downgraded?


It now ranks US creditworthiness one notch below that, at Aa1, joining Fitch Ratings and S&P, which lowered their credit ratings for US debt in 2023 and 2011, respectively.2 hours ago

Trump puts out hard to believe statements about administrations he never even had.

Now he has an administration that got the US debt rating reduced.

You seem to be interested in other administrations...which are not the topic of this thread.

On May 16, 2025, Moody's Ratings downgraded the US credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, stripping the country of its last perfect credit rating. This downgrade, while not a default, signifies a concern about the government's ability to repay its debts and could lead to higher borrowing costs.



Moody's cited the increase in government debt and interest payment ratios as the primary reasons for the downgrade. Successive US administrations have struggled to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs, according to Moody's.



your claim this happened solely because of Trump is false.

All I am saying is the downgrade took place during a Trump administration.


And wondering what Trump will say about it.

since you imply the credit rating drop is due to Trump got anything to back it up?
