“President Trump has instructed aides to prepare for sweeping budget cuts if he wins a second term in the White House… a move that would dramatically reverse the big-spending approach he adopted during his first 30 months in office,” the Washington Post reports.
“Trump’s advisers say he will be better positioned to crack down on spending and shrink or eliminate certain agencies after next year, particularly if Republicans regain control of the House of Representatives.”
“But this second-term ambition is already sowing confusion about how the White House should approach the current slate of negotiations, in which some conservatives want Trump to push for spending restraint.”
