Yes, they were smaller than most of Obama's. But you should see the deficits after the Dems won congress in 2018. Even bigger!
The Dem's didn't win Congress in 2018, what are you smoking?
In the November 2018 midterm elections, the Democratic Party won a new majority in the House, while the Republican Party increased its majority in the Senate. Consequently, this was the first split Congress since the 113th Congress of 2013–2015, and the first Republican Senate–Democratic House split since the 99th Congress of 1985–1987.
