I guess I need to hold class here on how “Money Works” and government debt
Presidents do not create debt. that is what congress does
Most of the time we have divided government were the president or at least one house of congress is controlled by the other party.
You can boost about Bill Clinton balancing the budget, but that would be wrong, it was the Republican congress that balanced the budget. Same is true in the 80’s were some blame Ronald Reagan for record high defects but ignore the fact it was a democrat controlled congress that passed those defects.
Judging the US economy based solely on the party that holds the White House is equally wrong. A fare comparison would be the different makeups of the parties holding the House, Senate and WH, where you would have 8 different possible commonation, it would look something like this

That is why politically basis ( and lazy) journalist , will ignore congress’s role in deficits and the economy and focus on ( blame) the president.
Okay, class dismissed.
You all have a wonderful thread posting free weekend
Bye Bye
