One way that you can easily tell that Trump is still the same old liberal, New York City Democrat he always was is with regard to the way he handles the budget.
He hasn't shown one iota of concern about reducing the immense national debt burden, and is setting new records of extravagant waste.
Check out this link:

Here is an excerpt:
"The deficit presently stands at $1.068 trillion, though it is likely to be reduced in September as quarterly tax payments are paid.
'In its most recent baseline projections, CBO estimated that the 2019 budget deficit would be $960 billion,' the CBO noted. That amount would be $181 billion higher than last year's deficit. The deficit as of Monday was running $168 billion ahead of the deficit in the last fiscal year at this time.
While mandatory spending such as Social Security and Medicare drive the deficit, it has shot up under President Trump's watch following the GOP tax cut bill and a series of bipartisan agreements to raise spending on both defense and domestic priorities."
(On fiscal matters, Trump himself is the fake news.)
The article goes on to assert that this level of debt , and new debt creation is UNSUSTAINABLE, but have you heard the President even once echo those concerns, or talk about the need for reigning in this problem?
NOPE, he continues to spend like a drunken sailor, and has done next to nothing to cut the bloated federal departments, or to eliminate those (like the Department of Education, for starters, that his hero Reagan got elected promising to eliminate, but never did) that desperately need eliminating. It's almost like he thinks that the total implosion of the economy that is on the way will be no big deal.
What it will be is THE END of a sovereign, peaceful nation.
Don't tell me he doesn't know THAT.
