''Yep I bet Trump isn't claiming this record.

As a result, the debt ceiling is $20.455 trillion. (Highest since WW2)''

Good pick-up.
Did you also know 2016 debt was $19.5T (Highest since WW2)?
Did you also know 2015 debt was $18.1T (Highest since WW2)?
Did you also know 2014 debt was $17.8T (Highest since WW2)?
Did you also know 2013 debt was $16.7T (Highest since WW2)? And so on and so on and so on....

Yep I bet OBAMA isn't claiming this record either!!!

The current POTUS has limited control over debt that occures over the first year due
to the budget being set by the out-going POTUS.
THAT would be ''you know who'', lets see if HE puts his hand up and claims this record.
The Black Messiah added nearly $8 TRILLION to US debt. And THAT is a new record!!!
We'll see how Donny goes shall we. Can't do any worse than the last dozen or so POTUS.
Having said all this, US Debt has been increasing since 1930, SO THEY SAY.
Gotta love statistics, eh!
