This is the problem with these idealistic perfectionists.
He thinks he’s so right on every issue that he can’t look at the bigger picture involving a closely split Congress and the opportunity to take advantage of a strong Republican president.
He's taken on the arrogance of a RAT party member. They believe you're too stupid to know what's best for you. He sounds just like them these days.
He needs to hear from his constiuents.
To be perfectly honest, I think a significant part of Trump's agenda is to do what Democrat politicians have done for a very long time, and that is to essentially buy support with massive deficit spending. Many of his supporters oppose any Republicans who want fiscal restraint because that will stand in the way of Trump buying that support.
Essentially, they're saying "The rest of Trump's agenda is so important that if he has to buy political support with massive deficit spending, that's okay."
The problem is that is the exact same logic that has gotten the country in this mess it is in today. Politicians of both parties are all too willing to ignore the deficit because tackling it comes with a political cost. And every single one of them believes the rest of their agenda is too important to pay that political cost. So, they keep expecting us into oblivion to ensure that they have a political support they need.
We were told during the election that Trump had to make some of these populist proposals because he had to get elected, but once he got elected, he'd show more fiscal restraint. That apparently was a load of crap.
For those who ask why Rand Paul and some of these conservative Republicans didn't stand up to Democrats like this, the answer is that they actually did. They just got out voted. Well, they're making their stand again. Trump wants their votes, then maybe he should reduce some of the spending proposals.
