The total debt just passed $37 trillion, #Trump’s first-term debt increase (roughly $7.8 trillion) accounts for about 22% of the total national debt.
Percentage of 2028 Debt Attributable to Trump
Using the estimated 2028 national debt range:
Low scenario ($40T total debt, $11.8T Trump-era increase): 29.5%
High scenario ($45T total debt, $15.8T Trump-era increase): 35.1%
By the end of 2028, between about 30% and 35% of the total national debt would be traceable to increases during Trump’s two terms combined. The precise figure depends on final spending, revenue, and interest rate trends, but in either case, his share of the total debt load would exceed the 21–23% seen after his first term alone.
