Your statement is false. Trump tax cuts ballooned the deficit..


"Deficit hits $984 billion

But the tax cuts, along with some bipartisan spending in the Trump era, have moved the needle in one significant way: They have caused federal borrowing to skyrocket. The Treasury Department has reported that for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, the government spent $984 billion more than it collected. That’s an astoundingly large deficit at a time of record low unemployment, and a deeply troubling one to boot.

The 2019 deficit was more than double what it was in 2015 and up from $160 billion in 2007, before the Great Recession."
