(This is only true if you ignore the revenue boosts the Trump tax cuts resulted in and count COVID spending as being created by Trump. Changes in the value of the dollar also matter, as others have noted.)
If you don't count COVID response spending against Trump, you also shouldn't count Great Recession response spending against Obama. At a minimum that means the 2009 stimulus package and costs associated with the auto bailout shouldn't count against him. I wonder what the story looks like for Obama after you remove that?
