re: Trump’s legacy: $8 trillion-plus in added debt in one term

It really shocked me when I looked at the debt for the last 20 years. As much as I hated Obama, I was shocked by the trajectory of the budget each year. It was sky high in his first few years but continued to go down in his last four. Most of that is probably because he knew he had opposition in the Senate. When Trump came to power, annual deficits began to climb again. With the economy in full recovery mode, it should have been reduced. Throw out 2020 because we all know it's not his fault.
