Even Fox Business accepted way back your president's policies would increase the national debt more than Clinton's would have. Yet you voted for him, suggesting
it was of minor importance to you. Now, while misleading about the Democrats and Obama's contribution to it, you whine about the debt level. How's that all compute?

National Debt Would Increase $11.5 Trillion Under Trump, Report Says

Christine DiGangi June 28, 2016

[...]

Donald Trump would have a Miracle-Gro-like affect on the debt, increasing it by $11.5 trillion within 10 years, according to a new report that looks at the policies he’s put forth in his campaign. The researchers estimate Hillary Clinton would add $250 billion to the U.S.’s debt over the next decade.

[...]

That doesn’t cushion the blow of the numbers. For reference: Publicly held debt in the U.S. increased about $7.1 trillion since President Barack Obama took office, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, though a sharp, upward trend in the debt started a year before he was inaugurated. Right now, publicly held debt in the U.S. amounts to 75% of GDP. Clinton’s policies would increase that to 87% by 2026 and Trump’s would push it to 127% in the same time frame, the report says.
