And the president most to blame for the national debt problem is …

Using the Treasury Department’s “debt to the penny” website, we can see that the nation’s total public debt, including intragovernmental holdings, was just under $20 trillion when Trump took office in 2017. Four years later, when Trump left, the figure was about $27.8 trillion. That’s an increase of nearly 39 percent.

Sad fact for trump nit-wits.

Trump has the biggest debt per term. Everybody's talking about it - everybody's amazed at how big it is. So much winning!!

Also peak debt per year - Trump added nearly four trillion dollars of debt in 2020 alone!! Everybody is totally amazed at Trump's incredible ability to pile up debt!!

"We're not a rich country. We're a debtor nation...We've got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt," Trump told The Washington Post in April 2016, several months before the election he would win. "I think I could do it fairly quickly...I would say over a period of eight years," Trump added, and suggested he would do so by renegotiating trade deals and creating trade surpluses.
