You sir, are a sophist liar. That I do not like.If you’re asking whether Trump, across his first term plus his current term, has now committed to more long-term borrowing than Biden, the answer is yes. CRFB’s official scoring places Trump’s first-term legislative impact at about $8.4 trillion in new ten-year borrowing. Biden’s full term comes in at roughly $4.7 trillion using the same method. And in Trump’s current term, the appropriations increases and early legislative actions are already adding several trillion more on top of his earlier total. So if we’re talking about cumulative long-term borrowing commitments, Trump’s number is now higher.
It is also important to note that a substantial portion of the 2025 fiscal impact under Trump is not yet fully visible in the published long-term scoring, because many of the supplemental appropriations, emergency authorities, and executive-branch spending directives take time to be reflected in CBO and CRFB analyses. That does not mean the spending is hidden; it means the formal scoring process lags behind the legal changes. As those scores are released, they will be incorporated the same way CRFB incorporates the fiscal effects of every administration’s actions.
The point remains the same: using the standard methodology applied to every president, Trump’s cumulative borrowing commitments now exceed Biden’s.
