He and Trump have close to equal responsibility. The state of the economy from 2017-2019 did not necessitate fiscal stimulus and yet, Trump's budget request proposals and the spending bills that he eventually signed, increased spending to an irresponsible level.So Biden doubling the deficit does make Biden responsible for inflation?
You are simply talking straight numbers without acknowledging how unnecessary the increased spending during Trump's first two years in office was. He can't just blame Democrats (or COVID) for that either. That was pre-COVID and Republicans were in control of both chambers of Congress during those years. The deficits were exacerbated by his tax cuts as well. Trump was fiscally irresponsible and it contributed to inflation.
