Outspoken Trump critic Glenn Beck praised President Trump’s proposed federal budget on his radio show Thursday, declaring himself “pro-Trump” after highlighting the president’s proposed spending cuts. The radio host gleefully read out a list of some of the agencies and programs Trump’s budget would cut, including the Corporation for National and Community Service, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the National Endowment for the Arts, and so on.
“And my favorite: The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars,” he said, concluding the list.
Beck, who has written and spoken extensively about his dislike of President Woodrow Wilson, joked with his co-hosts that the inclusion of the center named after the progressive president was “an olive branch” to him from the Trump administration.
“Clearly, that was an outreach to you, Glenn,” show guest John Ziegler said.
“It was,” Beck agreed. “That was the olive branch, and I’ll take that olive branch. I am so pro-Trump right now.”

Some people argue that if we pass RINOcare, we’ll be responsible for the bad healthcare system. Some say maybe it’s better to let it collapse, let teh Democrats get the blame, and pick up the pieces.
I am not sure I agree with that argument, but I can see where it comes from./
Similarly, Beck viewed Trump (rightly or wrongly) as a progressive and made the argument that if you are going to have a progressive, it might be just as well to have a Democrat progressive as a Republican one, so the Democrats, and not the Republicans, own it.
Again, I don’t agree with him, but from his perspective, I can see some merit in that argument.
He called President Trump a few days after the Inauguration to offer it. I don’t know if the President took his call.,
He mentioned that on the air.
In presidential elections as in all others there is a multitude of available choices. The “binary choice” is a self-fulfilling prophecy which can only be broken by voting on principles and not on party.
The Constitution Party candidate wasn't going to become President.
Why do I suspect that this just makes teh Trumpers HATE Beck even more?
