Not an Obama fan, I voted for and support President Trump, but serious question here and keep in mind that I am in no way an economist.

If Obama debt increased by $1.459 trillion and Trump debt increased by $594 billion, does that mean that Trump debt was actually $2.053 trillion + in his first 11 months?

Both those figures are deplorable and are amounts to be ashamed of. Whatever happened to fiscal responsibility? We used to talk about heady stuff like a balanced budget amendment, or at least the Bowles-Simpson plan.

That said, Obama gets a reprieve in his first year for the deficit. The economy was left in a horrendous recession thanks to the W. housing crisis, and furthermore Obama was factoring in the cost of the Bush Wars, which their namesake never did.
