Obama was President for 20 days of January. The government ran a surplus of $51 billion. vs $49 billion this year. Even the article you reference states that withholding under the new tax bill did not kick in until February. Some of the revenue loss will not come until tax filing season in 2019. The deficit for this year is already running above last year's deficit.
