The debt is huge because Trump kept his promises
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/10/05/debt-is-huge-because-trump-kept-his-promises/
“In his first three years in office, before the coronavirus pandemic, President Trump approved a whopping $3.9 trillion in borrowing for new tax cuts and spending between 2017 and 2026. This substantially expanded the national debt during a period of strong, sustained economic growth. As far as we could ascertain, the deficit had never been as high while paired with an economy as strong as it was in 2019.
As a result, we entered this year’s health and economic crisis with a debt, expressed as a share of gross domestic product, higher than any time in U.S. history, other than just after World War II. Adding in covid-19 relief measures, the president has enacted a total of $6.6 trillion in new borrowing in his first term. The debt is now likely to exceed the size of the economy as soon as next year”.
