It was approx. 10T when Obama was elected, and increased to approx. 20T when he left. Today it stands 21.689T.
Based on the increase since Trump took office, 6.9T will have been added after Trump serves 8 years. It's still going into the wrong direction, but at least there are signs of improvement.
Trump added 1.27 trillion in the past FY, how the **** is that slowing down?

do you have a link?
And what did the democrats do to reduce the deficit. Nothing
But now we do have a growing economy, and Trump has ordered his departments to slash 5% or more.
Actually, the growing economy is slowing down.
"And U.S. economic growth is already slowing
. In the third quarter, GDP growth retreated to a 3.5% annual rate, down from 4.2% the prior quarter. Going forward, economists
expect growth to hit 2.9% in the fourth quarter, and 2.5% in the first quarter of 2019."
On top of that:
"There was a
contraction in the manufacturing of metal products for the first time in two years — a key gauge of overall manufacturing activity — possibly the result of President Trump's multi-front trade war." The trade rhetoric is one of the dumbest things in the history of all administrations and it will cause a global recession,” Yusko told a
recent investment conference. (Mark Yusko

As predicted: "Business investment is laggardly. Rather than using their $1.2 trillion tax cut on capital spending, companies are on track for
the biggest-ever year of stock buybacks, possibly reaching $1 trillion."
Watch out: 3 warning signs U.S. economy could be close to recession
So fears about a recession in the near future are in the economists community. If a recession does happen as predicted, is Trump going to add more $trillions of dollars to the National Debt. He spent well over a $trillion on the economy, when the economy are already growing, what's the stable genius going to do about a recession?
