The national debt just crossed $39 trillion—almost doubling since Trump vowed to erase it
The United States national debt crossed $39 trillion for the first time Tuesday, arriving at the grim milestone less than five months after it first hit $38 trillion in late October—a pace of accumulation that budget watchdogs and academic economists are now calling, with unusual unanimity, “unsustainable.”
The milestone, confirmed in Wednesday’s Daily Treasury Statement, lands amid a politically charged moment: it comes roughly two weeks before the ten-year anniversary of President Trump’s 2016 campaign promise to eliminate the national debt within eight years. Instead, the gross national debt has roughly doubled since Trump first took office—it was $19.9 trillion in January 2017.
“Our moral duty to the taxpayer requires us to make our Government leaner and more accountable,” President Trump wrote in March 2017, as he issued an executive order directing OMB Director Mick Mulvaney to submit a comprehensive plan to reorganize Executive Branch departments and agencies in order to keep his promise to put in place common sense reforms to eliminate waste so that the Government better serves all Americans. “We’re going to do more with less,” Trump said at the time.
“As America soars past $39 trillion in debt, we must recognize this alarming rate of growth and the significant financial burden we are putting on the next generation,” Michael A. Peterson, CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, told. “Borrowing trillion after trillion at this rapid pace with no plan in place is the definition of unsustainable.”
At the current rate of growth, the Peterson Foundation projects that the debt will hit $40 trillion before this fall’s elections—another trillion-dollar jump in roughly the same compressed timeframe. Michael Peterson called the figure “staggering.” The speed of accumulation has accelerated sharply: the debt added its latest trillion in what the foundation estimates is less than five months, a rate of fiscal expansion that has few modern precedents outside of wartime or acute financial crisis.
The milestone arrives as the Congressional Budget Office, in its February 2026 outlook, projected that the federal deficit will reach $1.9 trillion in fiscal year 2026 and swell to $3.1 trillion by 2036 under current law. Over that same decade, debt held by the public is projected to surge from 101% of GDP today to 120% of GDP by 2036, eclipsing the previous all-time record of 106% set just after World War II. The long-term picture is even bleaker: CBO’s extended baseline now shows debt rising to 175% of GDP over the next 30 years, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
Perhaps the most alarming dimension of the crossing is what it costs just to carry the debt. Net interest payments on the national debt are projected to exceed $1 trillion in fiscal year 2026—nearly triple the $345 billion in interest the government paid in 2020, at the onset of the pandemic. In the first three months of the current fiscal year alone, net interest payments reached $270 billion, already surpassing the nation’s defense spending for the same period.

*🫵 IRAN War teaches us big thing.*
The world is more Interconnected in war time than we can imagine
Let's look at it...
1️⃣ First, Understand what the *Strait of Hormuz* actually is.
It's a strip of water 21 nautical miles wide at its narrowest point.
That's it, 21 miles.
And through that 21-mile gap flows:
— 20% of all the world's oil. Every single day.
— 20% of the world's LNG (liquefied natural gas).
— 30% of the world's fertilizer exports.
— 30% of Europe's jet fuel supply.
20.9 million barrels per day.
That's the number, Shut that 21-mile gap and you don't just hurt three countries.But, the entire planet.
Now let me show you who is dependent on whom.
Who ships oil through Hormuz?
Saudi Arabia sends 37% of its exports through that strait.
Iraq sends 23%.
UAE sends 13%.
Iran sends 11%.
Kuwait sends 10%.
Five countries. 94% of all the oil moving through Hormuz.
Who RECEIVES that oil?
China: 38%.
India: 15%.
South Korea: 12%.
Japan: 11%.
84% of all Hormuz oil goes to Asia.
These four Asian economies — China, India, Japan, South Korea — are not in this war.
They didn't vote for it and start it.But,they are taking the hardest economic hit.
The story goes way beyond this though:
2️⃣. Japan.
Imports 90% of its energy.
The Nikkei dropped more than 5% in a single day when oil crossed $100.
Japan has a 150-day oil reserve.
The clock is ticking.
3️⃣. South Korea.
Imports 70% of its oil from the Gulf corridor.
KOSPI — their stock market — suffered its biggest single-day crash since the 2008 financial crisis. Dropped 12% in one day. Circuit breakers were triggered.
First time since 2008.Because of a war they had nothing to do with.
4️⃣. Europe.
Natural gas prices nearly doubled in 48 hours after Iran struck Qatar's gas facilities.
Why? Because 20% of global LNG supply flows from Qatar through Hormuz to Europe.
Shipping companies are now routing vessels around the Cape of Good Hope — adding 15 to 20 extra days of transit between Asia and Europe.
Every extra day = higher shipping cost.
Higher shipping cost = more expensive goods.
More expensive goods = inflation at your grocery store.
5️⃣. India.
Imports 2.5 million barrels per day through Hormuz.
India's LNG plants run on Persian Gulf gas.
And *India grows food — food the whole world eats* — using fertilizer that comes through Hormuz.
6️⃣. Oil - It's not just fuel, it's so much more than that.
*Oil is also food.*
Here's how :
The Gulf produces massive quantities of nitrogen fertilizer — urea, ammonia, phosphates.
Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain together produce 15 million metric tonnes of fertilizer every year.
Around 1/3 of ALL global fertilizer exports ship through Hormuz.
Nitrogen fertilizer, according to Bloomberg, underpins about half of global food production.
Without fertilizer — wheat yields fall.
Corn yields fall.
Rice yields fall.
A Cornell agricultural economist said: "Fertilizer prices were already high, and farmers were already pinched. This will hurt."
Urea prices jumped from $516 per metric ton to $683 in five days.
Wheat hit a near two-year high.
Palm oil surged 10%.
Soybeans up. Corn up.
A farmer in Lowa said: "If nitrogen doesn't come, we might switch more acres to beans."
Not because of anything he did.
Because a war started.
Here's the full chain — pay attention :
👉 Iran war →Hormuz disruption →fertilizer shipments blocked →farmers reduce crop applications →harvests fall →food prices rise →central banks raise rates →borrowing costs up →economic growth slows and *you pay more for everything.*
That chain starts in a 21-mile strait and ends in your shopping cart.
7️⃣. What about shipping?
150 ships stranded around Hormuz right now.
Insurance companies — who have never cancelled Gulf coverage in modern history — are now cancelling war risk coverage.
Hapag-Lloyd, one of the world's largest shipping companies, introduced a $1,500 per container war surcharge. Overnight.
The world is more Interconnected in war time than we can imagine

Insurance companies — who have never cancelled Gulf coverage in modern history — are now cancelling war risk coverage.
Hapag-Lloyd, one of the world's largest shipping companies, introduced a $1,500 per container war surcharge. Overnight.
CMA CGM: $3,000 emergency surcharge for Gulf cargo.
Ships can't get insurance. Ships won't sail without insurance. Banks won't finance ships without insurance.
The Strait isn't formally closed.
It doesn't have to be.
Insurance withdrawal is doing the same thing a physical blockade would do.
👉Dubai's Jebel Ali — the largest port in the Middle East — suspended operations after an aerial interception caused a fire.
The world's air cargo network? Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar Airways together make up 13% of global air freight capacity.
All three are grounded or severely disrupted and 20,000 flights cancelled since February 28th.
Over a million passengers stranded.
Here's the lesson most people will miss.
My rich dad told me: *"The global economy is not a collection of separate countries. It's one economy pretending to be many."*
The proof is right in front of us.
A war between three countries is:
— Crashing stock markets in Japan and South Korea.
— Doubling natural gas prices in Germany.
— Raising corn costs for farmers in Iowa.
— Blocking fertilizer to Brazil — the world's largest soybean exporter.
— Spiking inflation in the Philippines, India, and sub-Saharan Africa.
— Stranding 150 ships in the world's most important waterway.
— Cancelling 20,000 flights.
— Adding 20 extra days to Asia-Europe shipping routes.
One war. One strait. 21 miles wide.
And the whole world is paying for it.
Most people will blame the gas pump.
They'll blame their grocery bill.
They'll blame the airline.
They won't trace it back to the source.
Financial literacy isn't just about stocks and real estate.
It's about understanding how the world ACTUALLY works.
How money moves.
How energy flows.
How a war in a place you can barely find on a map can raise the price of bread on your table.
This is the world we live in.
*One economy,One system.*
And right now — that system is under serious stress.
A long, simplest but good read by Robert Kiyosaki...

MARKET REALITY CHECK: IT’S NOT YOUR PORTFOLIO… IT’S YOUR TEMPERAMENT 📈
Your Demat statement belongs to the market.
Your bank balance belongs to you. 💰
That green you saw earlier? 📈 Paper profit.
That red you’re seeing now? 📉 Paper loss.
Nothing… absolutely nothing… is real until you press the sell button. 😄
Let’s be honest for a moment 🤝
Yes, portfolios are down. Mine too.
And no, staring at the screen every 5 minutes won’t make Nifty recover faster 😅
It will only: increase stress, ruin your mood, and make your family wonder what happened to you at dinner 🍛😂
But here’s the reality check 📊👇
👉 2008 Global Financial Crisis — markets crashed brutally… then created multi-year wealth 📈
👉 2013 Taper Tantrum — panic everywhere… followed by strong recovery 🚀
👉 2020 COVID Crash — markets fell 30–40% in weeks… then hit all-time highs within months 😳📈
👉 2022 Inflation & Rate Hikes — fear peak… markets still bounced back 💪
Every time it felt like “this is different”…
Every time markets said — “Relax… I’ve seen worse.” 😄
🧠 THIS IS NOT JUST A MARKET PHASE… IT’S TRAINING 🧠
Markets don’t create wealth easily. First… they test you.
They test your patience ⏳, conviction 💪, and emotional control 🧠
Anyone can invest in a bull market… but only a few can stay invested in a falling one.
I’ve seen multiple such phases in my journey 📊
And yes… I’ve worried before too. I’m human 😄
But over time I realised something 👇
You don’t conquer the market… you learn to live with it.
And every time the cycle turned 🔄, the same portfolio went on to create new highs 🚀
😌 THE REAL GAME: MIND OVER MARKET 😌
Events create uncertainty 🌍 but fear is created inside your mind.
The market doesn’t panic… people do.
So instead of reacting instantly ⚡️
Observe 👀, understand 🧠, and guide your emotions calmly 🧘
Because you are not your thoughts… you are the observer.
🌱 FINAL TRUTH: WEALTH IS BUILT INTERNALLY FIRST 🌱
These phases are not here to break you ❌ they are here to upgrade you ✔️
They turn you from a short-term trader into a seasoned long-term investor 💎
So stay patient ⏳ stay aware 👁 stay grounded 🌿
Because in the end…
It’s not the market, not the news, not the volatility…
It is your temperament that creates wealth. 💰🔥
And remember 😄👇
Market goes down… heart rate goes up…
But history says — “This too shall pass.” 📉➡️📈
And wisdom says — “Relax yaar… cycle hai!” 😄
Your Demat statement belongs to the market.
Your bank balance belongs to you. 💰
