Republicans and the MAGA cult continually scream about the federal debt and deficit under Joe Biden, but if you take a look at reality, Trump ran up the federal debt almost twice as much as Pres. Biden.

In a new report from the Committee For Responsible Federal Budget confirms the obvious.

And if we take the non-Covid years, Trump ran up federal debt more than Pres. Biden by $500 billion.

During his four-year term in office, President Trump approved $8.4 trillion of new ten-year borrowing above prior law, or $4.8 trillion when excluding the bipartisan COVID relief bills and COVID-related executive actions. Looking at all legislation and executive actions with meaningful fiscal impact, the full amount of approved ten-year borrowing includes $8.8 trillion of deficit-increasing laws and actions offset by $443 billion of deficit-reducing actions.2

If the GOP cares about the national debt, they wouldn't touch traitor Trump with a ten-foot pole.
