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.

Obama dobled the national debt by taking on more debt that all previous administrations combined. That goes all the way back to Washington.

Obama increased the national debt by 100%

@HoraceGreenley President Obama added about $8.6 trillion, about a 74% increase.
Trump added $6.7 trillion to the debt, a 33.1% increase.
I might add that Reagan's increase was 186%, George W's 101%, Woodrow Wilson's 723% and FDR's 1,048%.
Trump could have done a lot worse...
I wonder when all of this debt gets paid back?

@walabby it doesn't

@walabby In absolute dollars Obama added $9 billion in debt when the national debt was already $9 billion. In absolute dollars it was the most national debt added. Of course these amounts would have to be adjusted for inflation to make a fair comparison.
