sylvester, do you even read what you post? You blame the exploding deficits on Trump, but your very own post says that revenues were roughly the same, but outlays were 3% higher. Then it goes on to say that ENTITLEMENTS were the main root cause of the increase in outlays. You know the ones they are talking about. They feature in every Socialist Utopia the Democrats continually have wet dreams about and have spent vast amounts of energy promoting and increasing dramatically under Obama. In other words, the exploding deficits are due to the actions of the Democrats. To quote from your own post:

In total, spending for the three largest mandatory programs increased by 4 percent:
  1. Outlays for Social Security benefits rose by $43 billion (or 5 percent), because of increases both in the number of beneficiaries and in the average benefit payment.
  2. Medicare spending increased by $16 billion (or 3 percent) because of increases both in the number of beneficiaries and in the amount and cost of services.
  3. Medicaid outlays rose by $14 billion (or 4 percent), in part because more new enrollees were added through expansions of coverage authorized by the Affordable Care Act.
