Meiselas: I think this is a serious oversight issue. $17 trillion is apparently missing right now, and we’re in a government shutdown. Trump keeps saying he’s got $17 trillion. Where did it go? Garcia: If there is $17 trillion somewhere, the government doesn’t know about it. None of our... committees have access to it. Treasury has no idea what the hell he’s talking about. He’s either lying, or he’s somehow stashed away money in some magical way, which would mean even more corruption. The media needs to get in the game here. If Trump is claiming there’s $17 trillion somewhere, why isn’t he being asked—every single minute of the day—where that money is? This man is the most corrupt person ever to be president. He lies, he steals, he cheats. And now there’s apparently $17 trillion unaccounted for. We have to demand answers. Meiselas: Doesn’t James Comer want to know where the $17 trillion is? That would solve everything. What else should oversight be doing if not looking into 65% of our GDP? Garcia: Exactly. And if this keeps going, we’re going to have to investigate where the hell this $17 trillion is. No question.show more

Meiselas: So if this 17 trillion he keeps talking about exists, what account is it in? Did he steal the 17 trillion? Subramanyam: I’d love to see his math on that. I’d love to know why it’s not being returned to the American people if that’s the case.

Sen. Dave McCormick: "The economy is on fire. There's not a country in the world that wouldn't die for our economy ... $17 trillion of inbound foreign direct investment." (The entire US GDP is about $30 trillion, so this '$17 trillion' figure Trump and company have been using is a fabrication.)

$🇺🇸 TRUMP: RECORD-BREAKING $17 TRILLION INVESTMENT COMING IN "Under all 4 years of Biden, only $1 trillion of new investment came into the United States. So that’s 4 years, $1 trillion. Actually, a little less than that. Under 8 months of Trump, we’ve already secured commitments of $17 trillion coming in. And if you take the good years that we’ve had, it’s just a small fraction. It’s going to be more than $17 trillion for the year. And this is, you know, essentially we’re talking about up until that point, 8 months. $17 trillion. There’s never been any country that’s done anything like that." Source: Fox News$

Clark: How can Trump not know that it cuts $1 trillion out of Medicaid? Between that and the cuts to the ACA, 17 million Americans are going to have their health care ripped away. But it goes on, because of formulas, it will cut half of a trillion from Medicare. This is something Donald Trump has pledged over and over he will never touch.

Meiselas: Ask yourself a basic question: Why did Donald Trump not allow the press to be there in the White House to record the meeting with the Democratic leaders, when the Democratic leaders wanted the press there? Ask yourself another question: why, if Donald Trump claims he brought in $17 trillion, are we even facing a crisis at all about the government shutdown? Because if he brought in $17 trillion, there’s just so much money to go around that there’s no need to have these types of funding discussions. You know, I think you know the answer—because there was a $2 trillion deficit in the past fiscal year, and there’s a major deficit each and every month. And then finally, ask yourself this question: why did MAGA Mike Johnson and the Republicans cancel work on Monday and Tuesday, the two critical days before the shutdown? I think if you ask yourself those questions, you come to a logical conclusion: Donald Trump wants a shutdown. Then you can ask yourself, why does he want a shutdown? And I think he wants a shutdown because he wants to blame Democrats for the mess that he created. He wants to utilize a shutdown to behave even more as an authoritarian. He wants to get rid of Bureau of Labor Statistics data reporting, which he can use the shutdown as pretext for. He wants to cover up the release of the Epstein files. Those are among the handful of reasons that I think he wants a shutdown.

CNN: He claimed that he has secured 17 trillion in investment in the U.S. Well, just yesterday, his own white white house press secretary said it was about $9 trillion in investment. So I don't know where the additional 8 trillion in a day has come from. And even that initial 9 trillion the press secretary claim is highly dubious, counting a whole bunch of things that aren't actually spending, but rather are vague commitments from various countries

Garcia: We should be honest about what is happening right now in our country. Donald Trump is attacking everything that we know and love about our country—and he’s putting himself first every single time. Congress has to know and understand that Donald Trump is, I believe, the most corrupt person ever to serve as President of the United States

Phillip: Even with GDP increases, the bill increases the deficit by more than $1 trillion over a ten year period. So let's just make it simple for people at home, okay. If this bill is passed, what is the deficit going to be in ten years? The CBO says it is going to be more than $1 trillion than what it is right at this moment

Koh: I think the reality here is that he’s starting to recognize the con of Donald Trump—a con that so many people already understand. Donald Trump claims to be a good fiscal steward, but when he was president the first time, no modern president added more to the national debt than he did. Now, I know what Scott will say—that it was because of COVID. But even if you take COVID out of the equation, Trump still added $4 trillion to the deficit before the pandemic began. And now? He’s proposing another $2.4 trillion in cuts—while 11 million people stand to lose their insurance. This is the con: Trump claims he’s a fiscal steward. Republicans claim they’re the party of fiscal responsibility. But in reality, it’s Democrats who have repeatedly made the investments on behalf of the American people.

Russia's chief communist Zyuganov called for the confiscation of money held by Russians and businesses in banks in order to solve Russia's budget and economic problems. "There are 67 trillion of your money sitting in banks today. 67 trillion from individuals and 63 trillion from businesses. That’s a total of 130 trillion. That’s three times the size of the state budget. It’s just sitting there, making the bankers richer." According to him, about 30 trillion rubles could be "immediately mobilized." "That money isn't being invested in production or anything else - not even in victory. This problem can be solved quickly. If I were the president, I'd do it with a single decree. In wartime, he has the right to do so - he is the supreme commander-in-chief," he added.

Meiselas: His latest number has gone up to $22 trillion that he says he’s brought into the United States. Pocan: Clearly this number just seems to run inverse to the weight that he claims he actually is. I think he said 230. And that number keeps going down, and this number keeps going up. But people understand—if you’re paying more out of pocket for goods, at groceries and other things, that is the work of tariffs. When you’re paying more for things this holiday season, that’s the work of tariffs.

Meiselas: Trump now claims he's brought $22 trillion into the US. This is what Ponzi schemers do to prey on weak and vulnerable people. The Ponzi scheme here is so utterly nefarious and evil. Because what he wants to do is string real, desperate people — people who are suffering, which is most Americans right now, I might add — along the same way a Ponzi schemer does and says, “I’ve brought in this money. You’re just going to have to wait a year or two. You’re going to be so rich. I brought in all this money.” That’s why he keeps on making up these numbers, because he holds out the false hope that there are riches right around the corner. This is what this felon has done his entire life. This is what this bankrupter has done his entire life. This is what this sexual abuser has done his entire life. This is what he did in Atlantic City with his casinos. This is what he’s done with a lot of his projects that have gone bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt. He creates false hope. He drags people along. He destroys their lives. He steals their money, picks their pockets — figuratively and sometimes literally, however it’s actually being done, in my opinion. And this is how he’s doing it writ large on the United States. Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme: $64 billion. Trump’s Ponzi scheme with the United States economy: $22 trillion. Fraud is what he’s selling.

BREAKING: Trump just said that he is considering giving 20% of DOGE savings to Americans and 20% to paying down our debt…. Where is the other 60% going? This is just stupid. Our debt will continue to rise even if Doge saves us $1 Trillion a year. Why the hell would you go further into debt by handing out money to people, which is inflationary. The point of DOGE was to pay down our debt.
