I have said before that many Presidents get too much blame (or criticism) for the economy as it is largely a well oiled machine. I will say that I didn't know the tax cuts increased the deficit by that much, which is quite shocking. I wonder how the economy would have looked had COVID not hit. Some of these data seem to suggest that economical trouble was brewing, pandemic or not. 

Then there's that other big hit the economy took just before Obama took office,
also made plain in the above linked graphs.


He seems to have done a reasonably good job of dealing with that.
