He's already on track to out-pace Biden's whole term and he's only 70 days in. This is what they do. They pretend the Democrats are the exclusive perpetrators of out-of-control spending while consistently out-spending the Democrats. The fact is that both parties have contributed almost equally to the national debt, with the Republicans actually contributing a bit more than the Democrats.
Trump's first term, he added $8.8 trillion to the debt compared with the $6.1 trillion attributed to Biden. The only macro difference between the parties on this issue is that Republicans pretend to be the party of fiscal responsibility and tightening the belt, and the Democrats honestly acknowledge the need for spending to provide the American people with the programs and services they demand.
