Original Note:
Debt under Donald Trump grew about $6.7 trillion USD (a 33.1% increase) largely due to the effects of the Coronavirus Pandemic and 2020 recession. Even Obama, who added about $8.6 trillion (a 74% increase) to national debt stays well below the claimed 'twice as much' mark. https://www.thebalancemoney.com/us-debt-by-president-by-dollar-and-percent-3306296 https://www.thebalancemoney.com/national-debt-by-year-compared-to-gdp-and-major-events-3306287
