Snopes admitted (grudgingly) that the national debt HAS been reduced by $102 BILLION since POTUS was inaugurated
Has the National Debt Fallen by $102 Billion Since Donald Trump's Inauguration?
A conservative web site accurately describes a remarkable decline in the debt since January 2017, but offers no evidence that the President is responsible for it.
Conclusion
The Truth Division article accurately describes the extent to which the national debt fell between the inauguration of Donald Trump in January 2017, and the end of July. And it rightly describes this fall as “surprising”, since it ranks among the very largest 131-day declines in the national debt since July 1993 – both in absolute and percentage terms.
Similarly, the decline in both components of the national debt – public debt and intragovernmental holdings – was highly significant between 20 January and 27 July 2017, both in absolute and percentage terms.
And as we’ve shown, the national debt has fallen by an estimated 2.25% since Inauguration Day, even when measured against the size of the overall Unites States economy.
Whether or not any actions or decisions made by Donald Trump have caused or contributed to these historically remarkable declines in the debt, is a question that goes beyond the scope of this particular fact check.

Of course Donald Trump had nothing to do with the decline, but in all fairness they never said Barry was responsible for the unbelievable increase when he was in office.
