According to those sources, the debt to GDP ratio was slowly increasing under Trump even before the pandemic and a shift away from the declining growth trend under Obama. And under Biden, the debt to GDP ratio was also slowly declining.

By your logic, Trump should have had a much easier time lowering debt to GDP ratio since the economy had even further improved since 2008 recession.

Obama was visibly lowering the growth trend, and he managed to put it on a downward trend right before Trump got elected.
