You should not only check the date when information you cite was generated, but you should read it more carefully. This chart was 2011. Which would not make it a true comparison to the Presidents who preceded Obama as Snopes says: "The chart isn't a true comparison of equals, as it includes three presidents who served two full terms (Reagan, Clinton, and George W. Bush), a president who served one term (George H.W. Bush), and a president who had served half a term (Obama). Obviously, the longer a president holds office the greater the opportunity for him to influence the debt, and certainly (barring a radical change in current circumstances) the increase reported for Barack Obama will be considerably higher by the time he leaves office (whether that be in 2013 or 2017)."

As Snopes predicted, the increase in actual dollars reported for Barack Obama is already CONSIDERABLEY higher than all the other Presidents.

Sorry Charlie - here is the US Treasury DOT GOV site, not Snopes.

By Dollahs. Remember than an incoming president has an extended period of time of their first year working with the budget from the previous administration. So in Obama's first 6 years he has accumulated more debt than Bush did in 8 AND Bush has 750 million in TARP against his timeslot that does not even go against Obama.

Not helping your argument by stating Obama increased the national 34% in three years

As far as Trump goes? The guy knows how to turn a dollar. Not sure how that would translate in U.S. Economy ways. I always take issue with candidates and politicians who have little to no experience outside of higher education and public sector. You can not know what it takes to succeed in private business working in these two genres your customers are forced into dealing with you. If you need money you find a way to have it appropriated. Just does not translate to earning or failing.

I didn't think anyone placed any stock in snopes any longer since they've been proven wrong on so many issues so many times.

Gotta agree with Spence on this one. Snopes is still a fairly valid BS ometer to me
