It wouldn't be close because Trump was only president for 4 years while


Obama was president for 8 years. Despite TK's attempt to argue this doesn't matter, it absolutely does.

Even if you throw out covid, Here are the deficits by year starting with Obama's first budget

2010....1294
2011....1299
2012....1076
2013.....680
2014.....485
2015.....442
2016......585
2017......665
2018......779
2019......984
2020P....1073
2021P....1002

Obama's budgets had a combined 6.5 trillion in deficits, or an average of $812 billion per year. Trump's 4 budgets (talking the March projection for 2020 and 2021 to eliminate the covid impact) averaged $960 billion. So that's Obama WITH the financial crisis and Trump WITHOUT covid. And Obama's budget deficits were still smaller on average.
