Yeah, that's because it's true.
You see, the President doesn't come in with a brand-new budget when they take office, they don't get a clean slate. The new President has nothing to do with it. The spending was decided prior to their ever taking the oath of office.
Presidents have no magical superpowers, the economy doesn't just miraculously change because they're in office. It's already been done, man. They inherit the economy of their predecessor, and it's only a year or two later that we can see the results of their decisions in most cases.
(Of course, I'm responding to your post at face value, and not even bothering with the whole congress-controls-the-purse routine. We're vastly oversimplifying the process for the sake of shitposting, and it will stay that way, inshallah).
