Huh…a guy who declared bankruptcy 4 times, including running casinos which are about as close to printing money as one can get, go the numbers seriously, seriously wrong when he made a 10 year budget plan.
Color me surprised /snark
At one point this turkey casually claimed that over an 8 year term he would not just balance the budget, but eliminate the debt. No details were offered, but he assured that he was a business genius and could do it.
A budget is essentially a plan. What does anyone expect from a president who is incapable of doing anything but act and react on impulse?
There’s the $25M to gold plate all the toilets in the West Wing. Then the $40M to add the onion-topped towers that will rise above the new Putin Suite.
He once proposed, before this campaign, that we impose a one time tax increase across the board on everyone to total the $13.6 trillion dollars of the national debt, and use it all to immediately pay off the entire debt.
Of course, during the campaign he floated the idea of just refusing to pay the national debt. (big surprise from Mr. Default), or at the least forcing everyone who holds Treasuries to “take a hair cut”. (The biggest holders of Treasuries are the American public)
Sadly, business genius doesn’t mean what it used to, to some people 
Trump’s May budget submission proposed jarring, politically unrealistic
cuts to the social safety net for the poor and a swath of other domestic
programs. Many of its recommendations were deemed dead on arrival and
are being ignored by Republicans controlling Congress.
With regard to entitlements, candidate Trump was THE anti-GOPer.
President Trump is too ghoul for fools.
Earth to flyover country: The sooner you cease approval of this bastard, the sooner we may proceed with impeachment.
I say not only no, but, “Hell no!” to impeachment. Trump’s not done destroying the Republican’t Party yet…
Based on leaks, Priebus, McConnell and Ryan are helping to swing the wrecking ball.
Now we’ll get the stories about all the times that the CBO was not totally accurate in their predictions in order to to discredit this repor
Clearly, the CBO is part of the deep state/fake news media.
You mean, like, to some dead eyed assholes?
Who cares, Jr really made it on to the cover on times. Wonder if Donald will put it up next to his “cover”?
Even after the GOP changed the rules requiring only a Dynamic Scoring policy review for tax cuts in 2015 so they could pass more in the future they STILL cant get it right…what a cluster…
Cool cover…
YES IT WILL!
When the economy takes off and the extra income everyone makes will make up for the cuts.
Trickle down baby, I love it and can feel it now! Makes me feel warm all over.

As if he even had any part of it. Guy probably only looks at his pay check and no other part of any budget.
Trump: As far as I am concerned, we are running a surplus. Stock market is up over $$Trillions. All my doing. Us budget is paltry compared to what I have done for the US markets.
It’s very very standard.
