Trump knows how to budget and he knows how to use the media! Smart man! Go Trump!

Hmm, based upon this information, one might actually believe he COULD get the Mexicans to pay for the wall.

If he can do the same thing with the Federal Budget, then he’s got my vote.

My wife suggested a more Disney-sequel approach: allow Americans to buy bricks with little friendly inscriptions on the, like “No welfare here” or “Full!”

Impressive.
I listened to an interview Cavuto did with Trump’s son Eric. One of the points he made strongly was how much Trump wants to cut wasteful spending. It’s a big deal to him. I believe he can do it. The hurdle I see though is federal unions that protect thousands of incompetent workers jobs. I don’t know how this works out. We know there are a gazillion new government jobs created by the current administration.
If it can be done I expect Trump will do it. But the pushback from the left will be unbelievable.

He doesn't have to spend his own money. He's played the media like a virtuoso so well, every time he opens his mouth, he gets millions in free publicity from them. I gotta say, he's sharper than some other knives in the drawer.

I’d completely forgotten that! You’re right. I think we had a lot of discussions about that at FR during the time Walker was shaking things up with unions in Wisconsin.

That would be amazing.What's amazing the GOP has been giving lip service on doing away federal govenment unions for the last 50 yrs. and all it takes is a EO to abolish it.

That’s a brilliant idea. I’d buy a brick and inscribe it, “we’re full up on crazy”.

He has both red and white hats. He just has to come up with blue ones and sell them by the set. Probably could fund his campaign from the profits.
