The year-over-year widening in the deficit reflected such factors as revenue lost from the 2017 Trump tax cut and a budget deal that added billions in spending for military and domestic programs.

I always find it interesting when revenues go up and they claim that revenues have been lost.

Weird that conservatives no longer care about the deficit. Or, perhaps they only care when there is a Black American President. coffee

That case seems more likely. Hmm

No, the more likely case is that - like the left - the right has generally descended from ideology into tribalism. The color of a president matters much less than his party.
