Fact-check: “The US national debt has doubled in the last 10 years”
Verdict: Mostly True (85% confidence)
The claim holds up well against official data. The U.S. national debt stood at roughly $18.3–$19.5 trillion in 2015–2016 and reached approximately $36–38 trillion by mid-2026, representing a near-doubling over a 10-year window. The ratio comes out to roughly 2.0x depending on the exact start month, so 'doubled' is accurate or very close to it — though the precise figure depends on whether you use end-of-2015, early-2016, or end-of-2016 as your baseline.
