“So where did Trump pull out that $2.2 billion deficit statistic from? [smear snipped] It’s a projection from Walker’s own Wisconsin Department of Administration for the 2015 to 2017 budget period.”

Sounds reasonable enough... Trump wasn’t trying to flatter here. Even if this was a matter of an initial wish list budget, why did it have to start out that ridiculous? By caviling over quibbles, the point is missed.

No, it's not. That was a wish list from a batch of bureaucracies infested with leftists. It was not the budget Walker signed into law after a string of line-item vetoes. Trump knew it.
