Obama added almost $10T in 8 years... if you want to blame presidents - as though they have the sole power to create the budgets.
Obama increased the Debt, especially during his first few years more than any previous President COMBINED. The money went to UNUION pay backs for helping him to get elected and other cronies like Solyndra. All for political payback, not "shovel ready jobs" as he promises. The Obama recovery was a Wall Street only recovery, not a main street recovery. People suffered and that is way FOOD STAMP use hit an ALL TIME HIGH under Obama. Finn the dishonest wants to ignore that and just deceive.
Nearly four years after then-presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would eliminate the federal debt in eight years, the deficit has since risen by more than 16 percent under his presidency.
On Tuesday, attorney George Conway, a frequent Trump critic and husband of White House Special Counsel Kellyanne Conway, pointed out that three years into Trump's first term as president, the national debt increased by $3 trillion, bringing it to over $23 trillion now. Conway cited figures from the National Debt Tweets in his tweet.
He could have just given every American 10,000 dollars. Just think of how that would have stimulated the economy? Hey, maybe that is how he really improved the economy.....by injecting another 3 trillion into it in spending? That guy is a genius. Good thing we have a business man in the white house who know how to leverage debt.

And we were in the midst of the worst recession since the 1930's as he got into office thanks to Bush's 2 wars and tax cuts... I'll take what he did over that even being worse..
Trump came in office with a recovering economy and has run it up just as bad when he should be easing up the spending... But nope its increasing still even with Republicans in control..

The Obama economy was a train wreck, only disguised from the 2008 real estate crisis where the economy had no place to go but up, starting in 2009. But Obama did manage to make his union buddies happy.
How can you pretend the raise in debt is slowing, when the exact opposite is happening?
Heck, this is supposed to be the "best economy in history of mankind", so why are we racking up trillions in debt as opposed to paying it off?
Money IS debt. Debt IS money. If all debt were paid off, there would be no money. That's built into the fractional "federal" reserve system.
The key is what the debt instrument is utilized for. Idiotic things like Solyndra for instance, vs. security, infrastructure, trade, profitable business, etc. creates a self sustaining, healthy environment. Trump has shown masterful application of the proper leveraging of the "debt". 0bama, not so much.
30 Trillion is right around the corner and, in fact, fixed in law due to "tax reform".
Most of this happened since - and as the result of - the appointment of GWB.
To castigate one POTUS for having to pay the bills that a former Congress and POTUS built up is foolish.
Repeat after me
WAR
Failure to address health care
tax cuts from deficit
To those we could add some smaller things but they don't really count. Those three add up to a good 5 Trillion a year or more...or, as working class above would say it "50 trillion over ten years"

the recession was do to globalist liberal policies..2 specifically ...eased mortgage rules from 1995, which started the Clinton housing bubble... and not so 'free' trade agreements like NAFTA and her 23 sisters, including Senator Obamas freetrade with Oman... then you add on the straw that broke the economy's back of the democrats raising the min wage in 07/09
