Whether that's true or not, just because one president does something ill-judged doesn't let him off the hook because a previous president did the same thing. That doesn't make sense.
There's also a cyclical nature to economies. So in good times like now, you would expect to start to pay off the national debt and increase it in the downturn like the global financial crisis of 2008.
Congratulations to Trump, though, on his first substantial legislative achievement.
