The deficit and debt is increasing faster under Trump, when he said during his campaign he would reduce it.
And the deficit increased under Obama due to trying to recover from the 2008 recession.

Easy cop out and ridiculous, he and the Democrats did nothing to pay back the deficit for the remaining 8 years of his presidency, increasing it by 9 Trillion. Spending and tax decisions are primarily the responsibility of Congress, the president just signs off on it. Theoretically, I am defending Obama a bit here, as well.
