Presidents do not write federal budgets, the US House does. President cannot be blamed for budgets except for signing them. Democrats controlled the House from 2007 through 2010 and they raised the national debt during that time a total of $5.055 trillion in 4 years. Republicans controlled the House from 2011 through 2018 and they raised the US debt a total of $7.954 trillion in 8 years. Democrats controlled the House from 2019 through 2022 and raised the debt by a total of $9.308 trillion in 4 years.At the end of fiscal year 2020, the debt was $26.9 trillion. Trump added $6.7 trillion to the debt between fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2020
President Obama added about $8.6 trillion
6.7 T in only 4 years for trump, or $1.5T per year.
Obama: $8.6T is 8 years, or $1T per year.
again, obama wins
