The deficit is part of government expenditures, can’t you get that? Are you math challenged?

No, I’m not math challenged, thank you.

GDP calculations don’t take into account whether government spending is funded by taxes or by printing money or by borrowing money. Those government expenditures that are included in GDP are simply added to private goods and services produced (by whatever means those are measured).
