Trump doesn't have any choice about taking the debt past Bush since it has already been doubled by Obama.

I notice you left out that part, though.  I guess you like demagogues as long as they're on your side.

Woah there! Trump is proposing unnecessary and wasteful spending and huge and useless tax cuts. In no way is this reckless policy something that is not a choice, and in no way does it relate to anything that happened under Obama.

What Obama spent, however, was directly related to the outcome of Bush 43's policies, namely the great recession and the stimulus which was the only thing that got us out of it, or could have gotten us out of it.
