It looks like most of that was during the Great Recession. Does anyone have any details?

We spent $1 trillion in Iraq and another trillion in Afghanistan, but that should have shown up earlier?

Our deficit was $1.4 trillion Obama’s last year in office.

I'm assuming you meant first year in office, also the last Bush budget (as fiscal 2017 was the last Obama budget and the coming one will be the first Trump budget).

As for 2016, I am confused by the numbers on that table - the addition to the debt seems to have several hundred billion in unexplained increase that doesn't appear to be referenced anywhere that I saw.
