No. The defucit reduction came primarily by letting tax cuts on upper earners expire and by the economy turning around
I thought I asked you to save the fairy tales for uninformed voters? Obama added more to the national debt in his first three years than George Bush did in his entire eight years in office. And Trump is adding less to the debt than Obama did in his first few years did as well.
From Trump National Debt, Deficit Compared to Obama, Bush, Clinton
In raw terms, Trump added the second-most debt of any recent president. According to the Treasury data, the US added $2.07 trillion — $2,065,536,336,472.90 to be exact — in new debt between Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2017, and February 11, when the country pushed past $22 trillion. (The US added another $2.8 billion through February 15, the latest daily figures available.)
That is less than the $3.46 trillion added between Obama’s inauguration in January 2009 and February 11, 2011
Almost a trillion and a half less.
Yes, that’s the no context CEC talking point
No, that’s the math, not the excuses.
Wow it’s almost like Trump inherited a stable economy and <5% unemployment and a $500bil deficit
The math is that Obama inherited recird deficits and presided over one of the largest deficit reductions in history. That’s the math!
Hey I was being nice, I didn’t even count the trillions the fed printed up under Obama.
Why are you defending Trump’s $1trillion deficits?
I am not defending them, just pointing out he’s adding a lot less to our debt than Obama did, so far. Plus, he hasn’t ordered the murder of any US citizens without due process. So he’s not all bad.
Wow holy talking points batman

AT least I got a tax cut for Trumps much lower debt added than Obama, instead of my insurance deductible going from $500 to $6,000.
I bootstrapped. Government doesn’t get in my way and i dont make excuses
Which reminds me, a lot of Obama’s debt doesn’t get counted because it will occur long after he’s out of office.
Yep uh huh
I hate it when that happens. Right, libs?
Today was an okay day. It rained a little bit.
Where you unaware that much of the cost of Obamacare doesn’t get counted as his addition to the national debt, because he structured much of it’s major costs to kick in after he left office? Want to guess who got stuck with those costs as part of his national debt figures?
