Why is the National Deficit Increasing? Is it Trump?

Recently the national deficit has skyrocketed up 77% from the previous year. Who is to blame or what even are the causes? Is it Trump's Tax Bill with the sizable tax cuts for corporations in particular? Is this due to the tariffs he has imposed on countries such as China? Or is it due to other factors? Thoughts?
