Pressed by CNN's Kevin Liptak on whether some proposed amendments go too far, Trump responded, "I don't want to go too crazy with cuts," despite the bill's combination of deep tax cuts and reductions in safety-net programs. "I don't like cuts, there are certain things that have been cut, which is good. I think we're doing well. We're gonna have to see some very complicated stuff. Great enthusiasm, as you know. And I think at the end we're gonna have it," Trump said.

MAGA volunteered for the role of fool.

We can only hope that their continued exposure of such will deflate their hubris.

Yup. They just watered down the budget cuts so it runs up the deficit instead.
