On Thursday’s episode of MS Now’s “Morning Joe,” Scarborough called Trump out for his thus-far unsuccessful pledges to curb spending and restore fiscal order while discussing the eye-popping figure with co-anchor Willie Geist.

“While he’s sitting around there talking about construction projects, he promised he was going to pay off the debt, and yet he’s responsible for a massive portion,” he said, pointing to a Reuters report that indicated the debt had risen $7.8 trillion during Trump’s first term and $3.8 trillion since he started his second term.

“So think about that. We’ve got a $40 trillion debt,” he continued. “He’s responsible for, in many accounts, for anywhere from 25% to 30% of America’s national debt.”

Later in his chat with Geist, Scarborough compared Trump’s economic record to that of other U.S. presidents while attempting to further contextualize the report.

“It took us over 210 years for all of those presidents ― from George Washington all the way through Bill Clinton ― to together collectively pile on as much debt as Donald Trump has done by himself,” he said. “It’s incredible.”

He went on to note: “If you made $1 million every day, $1 million every day to pay off the national debt, you would have to work for 109,000 years every day to pay off the national debt ... yeah, 109,589 years. I tallied it up. To put that in perspective, that’s 20 times longer than all of recorded history.”

While most financial experts place the blame for the borrowing burden on both Republicans and Democrats, there’s little doubt that many of Trump’s policies have exacerbated the U.S.’s financial woes, while his initiatives aimed at cutting spending have failed to do so.

Earlier this month, the Treasury Department refunded about $100 billion in import taxes after the Supreme Court struck down many of Trump’s “emergency” tariffs on imports. And in July, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth estimated the cost of the ongoing Iran war to be around $37.5 billion.

Still, the Trump administration has repeatedly defended the president’s record.

“President Trump pledged to clean up Joe Biden’s fiscal mismanagement,” White House spokesperson Kush Desai told NPR this week. “That’s why the Trump administration has been focused on slashing waste, fraud and abuse in federal spending while accelerating economic growth to get America’s debt-to-GDP ratio trending in the right direction again.”

Scarborough, however, warned of further economic woes if government action isn’t taken in the foreseeable future.

“The American dollar will be worthless at some point if these politicians in Washington, D.C., keep spinning us deeper and deeper into debt,” he said.
