I figured someone would come out with a decent explanation and debunk the stupidity of your post that claimed TRUMP SAVED $12B. If you are too lazy to read, here is the pertinent text:
Here are other points that the article doesn't make very well.
1. Mr. Trump has signed nothing that has any major impact on govt spending. He's signed no budget law...or spending bills.
2. It is tax season...unless we are in recession, the first few months of the year are generally positive from a surplus/deficit standpoint.

For one, Trump is citing such a narrow window of time that the statistics he’s pointing to don’t mean very much. The level of debt fluctuates day to day and week to week, depending on seasonal changes in growth and when the government makes payments, collects tax revenue, issues new debt and other debt matures — making the data very susceptible to cherry-picking.
Using the same logic, for example, you could claim that after four days in office Trump increased outstanding public debt by more than $10 billion, and that Obama had reduced it by $6 billion.
On Thursday, the public debt outstanding was $19.9 trillion — or, to be more exact, $19,913,903,120,188.10. And while that is less than it was on Inauguration Day, it's $29.2 billion more than it was on Feb. 8. All that goes to say you can't pay attention to infinitesimal movements in the debt week-to-week.
