As you can see, there was a steady downward trend while Obama was President.
With Trump and the GOP, there is a steady upward trend. Trump is well on his way to busting Obama's record wide open.
U.S. budget deficit to top $1-trillion in 2019: budget experts | Reuters
Good thing the Republicans slowed him down eh?

U.S. budget deficit this year already 21% higher than last year
The federal government racked up a $76.9 billion deficit in July, with increased government spending and tax cuts keeping the country on track to record its biggest annual deficit in six years.
The Treasury Department reported Friday that in the first 10 months of this budget year:
- The deficit totaled $684 billion, up 20.8 percent from the same period last year.
- Revenues are up only 1 percent this year, the increase held back by a big drop in corporate tax payments.
- Spending is up 4.4 percent, reflecting a big boost Congress approved earlier this year for domestic and military programs and the rising costs of financing the debt.
For the current budget year, which ends Sept. 30, the administration is now projecting a deficit of $890 billion. That would be up 33.7 percent from last year's deficit of $665.8 billion
