Trump goes on spending binge

The White House will submit a fiscal year 2020 budget to Congress in coming weeks which seeks to force the Democratic party’s hand on accepting spending cuts.Acting Office and Management Budget Director Russ Vought wrote in a Monday morning op-ed that the Trump administration’s forthcoming budget will adhere to existing spending caps already put into place by Congress. In order to continue making investments in defense spending, The White House will tap into Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funds, which are special war funds not subject to spending caps.

His problem is that he cheats, claims across the board cuts but has special exemptions for his own precious government goodie.

Won't work, he is walking himself into sequester, a good thing. Just get on with as complete cap on spending, then go look for taxes.
