The U.S. national debt reached its highest-ever level of $39.5 trillion in June, a 37% increase from its pre-pandemic levels, and one top VC is putting the blame squarely on President Donald Trump.

In total, the government now owes the equivalent of $113,000 per person, according to USAFacts, a nonprofit civic initiative cofounded by former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer that aggregates and analyzes government data.
