Sure, he's juiced up the economy, with tax cuts to corporations and the rich, and has spent like a "drunken sailor" sending the stock market to record breaking territory, but at what price? At some point, we'll have to pay the piper.
THIS. His tax cuts didn't end up increasing revenue at all while the budget remained the same.

In other words, we're going to have to pay back all those tax cuts, with interest, eventually.
He also bragged about not paying taxes by exploiting government loopholes that were either placed by accident or design, then he got elected, and rather than fixing the loopholes, he just continued to exploit them. I get that politicians are slimy, terrible people, but just because he was an outsider doesn't mean he was any better, and his policies reflect that.
Meanwhile, rather than reforming Obamacare so Americans have healthcare, he just gutted it with no replacement plan, and likely no intention of replacing it. What makes that really ****ed up, is that we rely on private insurance, which is fine, but private insurance is literally a pool of money that everyone chips into. It's literally more expensive socialized medicine with extra steps! By introducing this free-market, private entity into the mix, the market will drive them to do everything they can to deny payments while maximizing revenue. So if you lose your job, can't afford the $1k/month premium, or fall through the many cracks that are in the system by design to exploit the people who need insurance the most, you're now bankrupt. Obamacare wasn't perfect, but it was better than that. Watching people cheer the gutting of our healthcare was like the "Lisa needs braces" episode of the Simpsons:
