And let's not forget Trump was the biggest spender we have seen in this country.
Just stop already. President Trump's debt was about equivalent to Obama's. He was in office four years and Obama was in for eight, and they both ran up roughly the same percentage of debt per term. Plus there was that pandemic.
"President Obama added about $8.6 trillion, about a 74% increase, to the national debt at the end of President Bush’s last budget in 2009."
"Trump added $6.7 trillion to the debt between fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2020, a 33.1% increase, largely due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and 2020 recession."
