Former President Donald Trump expressed his disapproval of Bloomberg’s editor-in-chief, John Micklethwait, on Tuesday following Micklethwait’s claim that Trump’s proposed policies would lead to a significant increase in the national debt of the United States.
According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), Trump’s economic proposals could result in a rise in national debt ranging from $1.45 trillion to more than $15 trillion by the year 2035. During a discussion at the Economic Club of Chicago, Micklethwait addressed the criticism surrounding the projected substantial increase in debt associated with Trump’s plans, prompting the former president to question Micklethwait’s credibility.
