Does @PolitiFact have #TrumpDerangementSyndrome? @PolitiFactBias— Ely Brit 🇺🇸 (@RealElyBritt) March 18, 2018

For the Trump fact check, PolitiFact came down hard on The Donald for placing blame too squarely on President Obama when Congress controls the federal government's purse strings.
On the other hand, it's hard to see how Sen. Paul eases up on placing the blame, unless he gets a bipartisan pass for blaming President Bush for the earlier debt increase.
Apart from that, neither Trump nor Paul received a "True" rating because Congress shares the blame for government spending.
Right, PolitiFact?
O-kay, then.
Correction 3/18/2018: Corrected transposed misspellings of Ely Brit's name. Our apologies to Brit.
Correction 3/18/2018: Commenter YuriG pointed out that I (Bryan) used "deficit" in the headline, conflicting with the content of the post. Changed "deficit" to "debt" in the headline. Our thanks to YuriG for taking the time to point out the problem.
