The image confuses annual deficits with cumulative debt; all listed presidents increased U.S. debt. Accurate debt additions (Treasury data via Investopedia/Statista):

Carter: +$299B  
Reagan: +$1.86T  
GHW Bush: +$1.55T  
Clinton: +$1.4T  
GW Bush: +$5.85T  
Obama: +$8.6T  
Trump: +$7.8T  
Biden (to Jul 2025): +~$7.5T

Clinton/Obama/Biden reduced annual deficits but debt rose.
