That much is fact derived straight from the charts and numbers you pointed us to. After that, admittedly, you get into opinion or conflicting economic theory. Obama's addition to the debt was mostly because of the stimulus to dig the country out of the great recession. He handed over a booming economy. Traditional economic theory is that you use that time to try to reduce deficits and debt.

Most analysts expect that under the present administration the debt will grow by considerably more than that. Again, that is open to debate.






Not true. Nowhere in that article was that statement made. The actual statement was:


"As you can see, Barack Obama takes the crown with almost $9 trillion added to the heap, though Trump may surpass that by the time hes done."


Quite a stretch.
