President Trump signed legislation and approved executive actions costing $7.8 trillion over the decade—compared to $5.0 trillion for President Obama and $6.9 trillion for President Bush, and he enacted these costs in just a single four-year presidential term, compared to his predecessors’ eight years in the Oval Office. The largest drivers were pandemic relief legislation ($3.9 trillion), the 2017 tax cuts ($2.0 trillion), and legislation raising the discretionary spending caps ($1.6 trillion).
President Trump’s four annual budget proposals were scored as reducing budget deficits by $2.4 trillion over the subsequent 10 years. Nearly all proposed savings came from repealing and replacing Obamacare, as well as vague promises to cut domestic discretionary spending nearly in half. Outside of the budget documents, President Trump did not aggressively push either initiative after 2017.
Trump left the White House with the largest peacetime budget deficit in American history and a national debt exceeding 100% of the economy for the first time since World War II. The failure to address unsustainable Social Security and Medicare costs leaves a projected 30-year baseline deficit of $112 trillion.

You want Biden or Newsome so damn badly dontcha? What’s your deal, you a double agent? You campaigning harder against and trashing the very potential Republican candidate as hard or harder than Democrats are. You want Trump to get beat by the Democrat more than the Democrat wants to beat Trump. That’s messed up.

I want to win and set the country right. Trump proved he couldn't/wouldn't. Trump is a waste of time. I want the exact opposite of Newsom or any Dem but you OnlyTrump fans are going to give us exactly that.

I love fact based arguments. I'm assuming there won't be any of the cult coming here to refute any of this data. Just personal insults and non sequiturs.
We need a strong fiscal conservative if this country is going to survive. Trump can't be trusted on budgetary issues. His solution seemed to be to print us out of trouble and send average Americans into financial distress dealing with high inflation.

I know it’s hard to believe, especially for the pretend conservatives, but we saw his first term

What's laughable is your lack of integrity.
When you have to be dishonest to sell your point, you don't have a point. You have a lie.
You have become a "By any means" person.

They're doing what they learned from Mr Warpspeed.
Of course, the reply mentioning dudes' butts was probably considered a well thought-out response from the author.

What an astute point. I'm now torn. On one hand Trump spent unbelievable amounts of money and printed unsustainable amounts but on the other hand GFY.
Great minds battling it out. Love to see it.
