This year, the deficit grew by 18% \u2014 with $200 billion of that due to refunds of his illegal tariffs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Congressional Budget Office backs the core of the projection. Its Aug. 10 estimate pegged the fiscal 2026 deficit at $2.1 trillion, about $200 billion higher than February&#8217;s forecast and a jump the agency tied largely to collapsed tariff revenue after the Supreme Court struck down Trump&#8217;s emergency-powers tariffs 6-3 on Feb. 20. The prior year&#8217;s deficit was $1.8 trillion. <\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk&#8217;s DOGE, meanwhile, never came close to its promised $2 trillion in savings.<\/p>\n<p>The reality crashed on social media critics like a ton of bricks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is very not good,&#8221; wrote conservative attorney Gregg Nunziata. <\/p>\n<p>Yahoo Sports writer Ben Fowlkes jabbed: &#8220;I mean yes we did cut funding to anything that actually helped people but at least we still managed to increase the deficit.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/propertyrelocationusa.com\/?p=6383\">Trump roars \u2018treasonous creep\u2019 should be prosecuted after nemesis suffers primary wipeout<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ex-GOP Rep.
