It is misleading to invoke 230 years of history when discussing the present national debt, in part because a large chunk of the $31 trillion debt was incurred over the past 20 years. That said, roughly 25% of the current debt was accrued during the Trump administration. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-debt-25-percent/
