There is a serious, real problem with the Trump Budget: faulty math on a "yuuuuge" scale:

This has been a consistent pattern of the Trump administration and, perhaps, its greatest problem. There appears to be a tendency in the Trump circle to try to tailor whatever the issue may be (budget, foreign policy, immigration, etc.) not to the facts in play, but, rather to the campaign rhetoric of Trump in 2016. There is no doubt many of the promises and declarations of Trump had no real basis in the reality of the various issues and conditions and, certainly, the campaign bombast was made from a state of very little actual knowledge by Trump and associates. The result is a very difficult attempt to meld the concerns of those who know better with those who know close to nothing and are operating from a position of ideology instead of practical reality. Because of this dichotomy, I don't really think the upset over the direction of the 'Trump Agenda' is warranted, at this point, since it is highly likely very little of it will see enactment in its current, original form. As a point of reference, the inability of the Trump camp to actually enact any of their proposals such as immigration, healthcare, etc., without opposition, not only from the 'usual suspects', but, also, from prominent members of his own party, indicates the rhetoric of Trump the candidate will probably not become the actual accomplishments of Trump the 'POTUS'...
