According to Trump's own OMB wesbite tables (which are current with this released budget proposal), deficits will increase through FY2020, then decrease through FY2023 to levels still higher than FY2013-2017. It should be noted that one big reason for the massive jump in FY2009 is not only recession spending, but also because from FY2003-2008 the excess spending on the War in Iraq was not included in the budget process as it was done through supplemental appropriations.
