"We've borrowed more money under Barack Obama than we borrowed from George Washington through George W. Bush," said Donald Trump's economic adviser Stephen Moore at a debate in mid-October. "This is the most fiscally reckless behavior."

Trump has also made similar claims, saying that the debt has doubled under Obama's eight years in office.

Here are the numbers:

By January 2009, the United States had accumulated $10.6 trillion in debt. That's the net amount the country had borrowed from Washington through the Bush years.

The gross national debt now stands at $19.7 trillion. That's an increase of $9.1 trillion — not quite a doubling, but pretty close.
