agree that it is not looking good for Biden.
US gov debt increased by ~$5.0 trillion in the 8 years of the GW Bush administration.
US gov debt increased by ~$9.3 trillion in the 8 years of the Obama administration.
US gov debt increased by ~$7.8 trillion in the 4 years of the Trump administration.
US gov debt seems to have increased by ~$5.0 trillion in the 2 years so far of the Biden administration. (!!)
of course, not all debt can necessarily be attributed to or blamed on a president or a party (congress, force majeure etc), but from a "amount of dollars added to US gov debt during a single 4-year presidential administration" perspective, Mr. Trump comes out as the winner -- so far.
