Indeed. By the end of this, “patriotism” will literally be defined as tribalism, i.e racism, sexism, xenophobia, bigotry.
Neoconartists whining about tribalism? Oh, my. Too rich.
Love it.
No, the author is quite correct. The stripped down budget that Trump submitted to Congress was the paradigm of government fiscal retrenchment. The GOP laughed at it as they threw the budget in the dumpster and passed another chronically deficit-laden spending bill. The GOP carries all the blame, Trump none of it.

No, the author is the one claiming Trump doesn’t deserve all these conservative accolades because of the deficit.
You’re helping my point, not his. It doesn’t matter who the President is, Congress has always been full of profligate spenders.
No President of either Party has ever gotten a real handle on the deficit or debt. They can’t force Congress to make massive spending cuts, and if they continually refuse to sign something that they’re sent, they’ll be politically blamed.
There’s no political will to balance the budget, and hasn’t been for generations.
