From the artcile you cited yourself
"Donald Trump claimed on the campaign trail that, as president, he would completely eliminate the then–$19 trillion in national debt. Let’s just say he’s not exactly on track. Since he made that promise in early 2016, the debt has ballooned to $21.7 trillion, and his tax cuts are expected to drive that number higher."
That higher number was extrapolated to 30 trillion in that source I looked up, but hey, extrapolation is opinion, so Trump is currently up 3 Trillion from 19 to 22 with more years to go
PLUS your source supports what I said...the Republicans also loosen the purse strings substantially when in power. No party is immune.
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
