Content: Until the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown (03/16/20), Donald Trump had increased debts by 16.08%. That’s considerably less than Barack Obama (69.98%) and George W. Bush (105.08%)
To tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, national debt was increased by a further 18.01% totaling $4.25 trillion in additional debt from March 2020 to Jan 2021. Daily national debt during Trump’s Presidency has increased from $2.861 billion pre-lockdown (01/02/2017 - 03/16/20) per day to $16.366 billion since. A 472% increase in the rate of daily debt. Abraham Lincoln’s years in the Oval Office saw the largest percentage increase in National Debt under any President, increasing 2859% overall
However, Martin Van Buren is the President who spent the most consistently with average yearly debt increasing 375.32% compared to Lincoln’s 148.36%
Woodrow Wilson, who was President during World War 1, oversaw an increase of 722.21% (averaging 35% increase per year in office)

The Federal Deficit
The federal deficit differs from the national debt in that the deficit is the difference between revenue and spending in a single year, whereas the national debt is measured since the country’s inception and over the country’s lifetime. [ 1]

Deficits and debt are definitely related. The best way to measure a president's debt is to add up his budget deficits. A president's budget reveals a particular administration's spending priorities.
