Obama added 6.781 trillion in 8 years to the debt....the highest ever.

Trump added 4.8 trillion in 4 years but that included 2 trillion for the stimulus package.

The difference is...We got something for our money. Taxes were restructured. The military benefited. The border was finally being brought under control. Millions got checks for $1,400 to help with the devastation of the shutdowns by the governors.

In other words, the deficient was an investment.

I agree with all of your points and would add-—

Trump also grew the economy. When we have full employment and rising ‘real’ wages, that leads to more taxes and lessens the impact of an increase in the debt.

Obama did not grow the economy.
