Sen. Lindsey Graham
(R-S.C.) said Tuesday that President Trump’s first budget was “dead on arrival” and wouldn’t make it through Congress.
“It's not going to happen,” said Graham, according to NBC News. “It would be a disaster."
Graham, a frequent Trump critic, expressed concerns with Trump’s proposed cuts to the State Department budget, especially the targeting of foreign aid.
Trump will propose $54 billion in cuts to fund an equivalent boost in defense spending, White House officials said Monday. The administration will make massive cuts from the Environmental Protection Agency and State Department, even though both of their budgets combined barely come close to the Trump’s proposed defense hike. Graham said significant State Department cuts would endanger American Foreign Service officers.
"A budget this lean would put those who serve overseas for the State Department at risk,” said Graham. “And it's not going to happen."
Trump’s first budget proposal, slated to be released March 16, lacks key details but is already stoking bipartisan concern.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee members in both parties have spoken out against Trump’s proposed foreign aid cuts, defending the necessity of funding development projects in needy nations.

When oh when. is Lindsey gonna get retired ?????!!!!!!?????
I bet Trump is more likely to shutdown the government and blame Republicans than even Obama. They should be scared
Was the Clown Chuckie recently seen leaving the back door of a NYC AIDS clinic?
Can anyone think of a time when Lindsay graham was right about anything?
Anyone?
Good.
Let the Republicans define themselves as the party of big, wasteful spenders.
Then let the electoral chips fall where they may.
I bet this little puffer couldn't wait to use this Democrat/Left expression against President Trump.
Yep I remember every Reagan budget being declared DOA. However it was the “out of the closet” liberal democrats who made this statement, it usually didn’t come from an alleged “conservative Republican”, from South Carolina no less.
If the SC GOP doesn’t get their act together and close the primary process they are going to be stuck with this little turd until he assumes room temperature. Prediction the SC GOP will do NOTHING.
“Graham, a frequent Trump critic, expressed concerns with Trump’s proposed cuts to the State Department budget, especially the targeting of foreign aid.”
Is he tone deaf, stupid or both? Cutting foreign spending needs to happen NOW. Use a scalpel or a machete approach, but start cutting the burden on U.S. taxpayers right NOW.

My guess is that’s a time honored way to steal money and funnel money to cronies. Whatever happened to all the money that was supposed to go to Haiti?
Trump can do CRs. Trump is not going to sign a budget bill that funds the BS.
We're trying, believe me.
Open primaries are a big problem here in SC. The RATS cross over and make sure linda wins the primary. Then they cross over in the general to make sure she gets elected.
Hard to fight aginst that. And linda, of course, is loving it.
I still say that PRESIDENT TRUMP should have ‘found’ a cabinet position for Graham & McCain, and the first stumble fire them. Their Senate replacement couldn’t really be much worse and more likely be an R NOT RINO -
with these two it is like them getting to pick their gender every morning..
It means cut in frequent flier miles of McShame and linsey.
[[Is he tone deaf, stupid or both?]]
Vindictive- He and McCain- they couldn’t be president, so they are taking it out on trump- they feel they were robbed of ‘their rightful place as president’ - after all, they put in a grueling number of years sitting at a desk doing nothing nearly 5 months a year (or however long they actually ‘work’- they take a tremendous amount of time off)- they ‘earned it’
Guess it is time to negotiate and prove pet projects are worthy.
Stupid comment by a stupid establishment clown.
The State Department does need funding for both steady state consular operations, and “soft power” (things like USAID, humanitarian aid, etc...).
However, don’t tell me that Foggy Bottom isn’t ripe for some significant cuts to programs, offices, and positions that have not provided any identifiable and measurable (either quantitatively or qualitatively) success.
Trump’s budget, like all budgets, is the opening salvo in the annual budget debate. (Which we skipped for the past EIGHT YEARS) For a GOP Senator to declare it “dead on arrival” is akin running up the white flag before the enemy even shows up on the battlefield.
Stupid comment from a stupid man.
I thought was to prepare and present the budget which they never did under obj . It’s real simple, here’s what I want now put it into the. Ingress II also budget. No Noe CR’s.
Trump beat your sniveling a$$ by campaigning on "America First". Shut up and make it happen you limp-wristed dip.
Any of the conservatives in SC protesting him, flooding his office?
No?
Well then they must be in agreement.
