As Donald Trump cheered the passage of his self-styled, and officially named, Big Beautiful Budget Bill through Congress this week, long-sown seeds of doubt about the scale and sustainability of US borrowing from the rest of the world sprouted anew.

Trump's tax-cutting budget bill is expected to add at least $3 trillion (£2.2 trillion) to the US's already eye-watering $37tn (£27tn) debt pile. There is no shortage of critics of the plan, not least Trump's former ally Elon Musk, who has called it a "disgusting abomination".

The growing debt pile leaves some to wonder whether there is a limit to how much the rest of the world will lend Uncle Sam.

You kind of need it for some programs (traditional roguelikes, some media players adjust the volume with numpad keys) so I wouldn't want to go without it myself, but to each their own I suppose

I actually switch it off with a full-size! I use my full size for anything where I’m not playing games, and my 60% alongside a Razer Tartarus v2 for playing games. It’s the best possible setup I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried a million setups in my days hahaha

Quick edit: the lil hand keyboard can map out anything I want, and my 60% has FN volume buttons!
