FACT When Trump took office in January 2017, the national debt stood at $19.9 trillion.
By October 2020, the national debt reached a new high of $27 trillion. That's an increase of almost 36% in less than four years

FACTS matter

If Biden gets his way, here's another "fact". In his first 100 days in office Biden has proposed increases (under the guise of "infrastructure) of 4.8 Trillion dollars. As a timeline, that's way more than the 20 Trillion that Obama saddled us with during his first term, and way more than what Trump saddled us with during his first 100 days in office. Facts matter

Here's another fact. Most of the debt that Trump precided over was caused by a democrat controlled Congress. LOLOL
