Trump has done the same.. Why are you not outraged?
The US national debt passed $22 trillion on February 11, the first time the federal debt had breached that threshold.
In raw terms, Trump added the second-most debt of any recent president. According to the Treasury data, the US added $2.07 trillion — $2,065,536,336,472.90 to be exact — in new debt between Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2017, and February 11, when the country pushed past $22 trillion. (The US added another $2.8 billion through February 15, the latest daily figures available.)
That is less than the $3.46 trillion added between Obama's inauguration in January 2009 and February 11, 2011, but it is more than the $676 billion added under Bush and the $617 billion added under Clinton in their first 752 days as president.
One important difference between Trump's debt figures and Obama's is that Trump has added a massive amount of debt while the US economy has been strong, whereas Obama took over during the depths of the financial crisis.
So Trump has added nearly as much as Obama, but Obama did it when we were in a finical meltdown and Trump did it with a "booming" economy..
Yet Obama is the devil.. blame Obama because "Dear Leader" can't say bad things about "Dear Leader"..
