On January 20, 2017, the US national stood at $19.947 trillion; today it stands at $20.493 trillion.
So, the debt grew by $546 billion in Trump's first year.
With spending increases on the horizon (e.g. for roadz and "defense"), and tax cuts already passed, the deficit will be increasing.
Poll Question: How much will Trump grow the debt by the end of his first term (January 19, 2021)?
*we will count debt as having been added by Trump unless the bill in question was passed over his veto
