Trump grabbing every dollar that he can
#49
https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump

Trump had the third-biggest primary deficit growth, 5.2% of GDP, behind only George W. Bush (11.7%) and Abraham Lincoln (9.4%). Bush, of course, not only passed a big tax cut, as Trump has, but also launched two wars, which greatly inflated the defense budget. Lincoln had to pay for the Civil War. By contrast, Trump’s wars have been almost entirely of the political variety.

Trump is only behind Obama as far as total dollars added to the deficit, but I guess he can brag that he was able to do it in half the time as Obama.   Wink Trump's biggest contribution to the deficit is probably when he lowered the Corporate tax rate by 40%.  I really do not feel like that benefited the average American very much.
