re: Has anything happened yet that any Republican wouldn't have done as well or better?

Meh. It's down less than 1900 year over year, and I think most Republicans would have decreased it from the Obama levels anyways.

The national debt is growing. And according to the most recent official Monthly Treasury Statement we had a deficit of 364 billion from February (Trump's first full month) through June. And next year's estimate is for a deficit of 440 billion.

June Monthly Treasury Statement

So the debt is not decreasing and we are still running a deficit, and will continue to in the near future.
