Time to Get Tough was out in 2011. But he’s advocated lower government spending and lower taxes for years. Again, he was an ardent supporter of Reagan.
Where he has waffled has been in coming out as conservative on social issues, which is totally understandable for someone trying to do business, rather than make himself a pariah, in Manhattan.
Also, such as with healthcare, he has, like a typical businessman, been susceptible to arguments of pragmatism, and what will “get the job done”.
Spin, spin, spin.

WRONG he supported people that were arch-rivals of Reagan..
STILL DOES..
LIE
Trump this week blasted Governor Scott Walker for NOT raising taxes to cover spending in Wisconsin. Walker instead, held back spending on many programs and used short-term borrowing to cover gaps in revenue.
But Trump's point was that restrained government spending and tax cuts were wrong and that keeping taxes higher to cover government spending was a better choice.
Most of Trump's attack on Walker is based on liberal sources who do not understand Wisconsin budgeting. But I am not surprised he would go to the liberal well to dish dirt on opponents.
Trump is not a man to restrain spending or hold back....he went bankrupt a few times.
