Trump has lower deficits than Obama so far (FY 2016 - $1.423 trillion vs. FY 2017 - $672 billion FY 2018 - $1.233 trillion) and achieved that by giving more money back to the people.

Did you read your own links?

FY 2016 deficit - $685 billion.
FY 2017 deficit - $666 billion.
FY 2018 deficit - $863 billion.
FY 2019 projected deficit - $958 billion.

The numbers were from the second link that OP provided:

However, the projected numbers for 2018 and beyond are speculation and will depend on economic growth and we got some record numbers now.
