Former president Donald Trump approved almost twice as much borrowing as current President Joe Biden during his four years in office, according to the Committee for a Responsible Budget (CFRB).

Trump, who presided over the federal government from 2016 to 2020, approved $8.4 trillion in new ten-year debt. But incumbent president Biden, who defeated Trump four years ago, has approved $4.3 trillion in new borrowing, said a new report by the committee.

It was founded in 1981 by former United States Representatives Robert Giaimo (D-CT) and Henry Bellmon (R-OK), and its board of directors includes former Members of Congress and directors of the Office of Management and Budget, the Congressional Budget Office and the Federal Reserve.[2]

Come on really? Newsweak? I provided a year by year tally, but it stops at 2022, so where is Newswek getting their information from.

As my link provides that the national debt was : more than $31.42 trillion in December 2022.

It's now at 34.8 trillion, which is another 3.4 trillion with 6 months remaining.

It will surpass 8 trillion, but that is the national debt. But the receipts to the treasury is bringing even less revenue
