I think “added $9T to the deficit” cannot be correct.
A deficit is spending minus revenue when spending is greater, and it contains a time factor.
The term “added x to the national debt over y time” makes sense, since debt is the definite integral of deficit dt.

Deficit is typically figured over a time interval, usually monthly or annually. The greatest annual deficit for a fiscal year in US history is a bit over $3T as near as I can figure out.

Literalism is not a high priority for election posters and memes, even democratic ones, most voters don't know their assholes from a hole in the ground, much less the issues. Many base their vote on the constantly fluctuating price of gas and actually think the republicans will do something about it or anything else. This is marketing and much of that is bullshit and the psychological manipulation of the unmindful.

still not an excuse for miscommunicating the core concept. Such things propagate, and in this instance contain the insult that comes from underestimating the audience’s capacity for understanding.

(edit) and trashing pointing it out as a quibble.

I'm not making excuses for it, but cynicism pervades the advertising "industry", perception is more important than reality, it is what it is. If you want honesty the last place to look is an election, if you want truth put them under oath and even then...
