The United States budget deficit, which increased to $1.99 trillion this fiscal year from $1.78 trillion in 2025, "approached its highest level since the pandemic, as spending on the military, safety net programs and interest on the debt dwarfed the Trump administration's cost cuts, Treasury Department figures showed on Friday," said Times reporter Alan Rappeport.

October 16, 2026 at 1:59 PM EDT Trump's legal fund is worse than broke --it owes millions On Friday, new reporting revealed that President Donald Trump's legal fund is in massive debt. According to its latest FCC filings, Save America PAC -- which Trump created largely to pay for his election denial court battles following his election loss in 2020 -- owes just shy of $2 million. As the Hill explains, the fund has been spending money faster than it's paid down its debts.

At the start of the year, the president had nearly $1.2 million on hand. The fund had roughly $673,000 as of the end of June. But as of the end of the third quarter, it had less than $33,000." As that cash on hand has plummeted, its debts have remained a persistent problem, and it now owes more than $1.9 million to legal firms.

"How does the party go along, in lockstep with that?" podcaster Shane Smith asked historian Timothy Snyder in a video that dropped on Thursday.

She also allegedly threatened foreign officials and granted lobbyists privileged access.
