What measure of "the economy"? The usual measure is GDP, measured in dollars, so the number is a dimensionless ratio, not a dollar amount.

The fact that you aren't telling me how this number was arrived at, or giving any precise answers at all, is answer enough: it's not "adjusted" to anything. You made that up and are continuing to talk shit.

You clearly have no idea how any of this works, but you can keep suckling the teet of your orange king pedophile and live "happily ever after" in your delusional little bubble till the collapse. As long as you feel loved by your king, all is well, right?

You are definitely not an economist judging by your pure lack of knowledge, and that's okay... these numbers are unfathomable anyhow.

Since you want some kind of answer, the national debt is analyzed regularly and adjusted for inflation already and then they compare it to the ECONOMY in real time. What answer your trying to seek is impossible, the fact is; Donald John Trump is a pedophile rapist piece of shit and that's about all that really matters.

(And I guess I have to say I too hate trump because otherwise everyone will conclude I’m defending him somehow)

Learn to read.

It’s relative to the economy. What measure of “the economy”? and then they compare it to the ECONOMY in real time.

So you don't know. I'm not an economist, but I clearly know more economics than you do.

This conversation is pointless; you had your chance to demonstrate you understood, multiple times, and you failed to do so. I see my original comment got downvoted in spite of the explicit caveat because you and three other people are incapable of understanding that "these numbers criticising Trump are bogus" does not mean "I love Trump".

Goodbye.
