Original Note:
While superficially accurate, this is missing important context. 1) Bipartisan COVID funding tripled the deficit in 2020, making up much of the debt attributed to Trump. 2) Its planned expiration caused the 2022 deficit reduction. (Biden actions have increased it.) https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/politics/fact-check-president-biden-state-of-the-union/index.html https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/#us-deficit-by-year https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-debt/
