But he’s advocated lower government spending and lower taxes for years.

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.

Trump’s argument in that very specific case was that it would have been better not to drop the taxes and borrow more.
