Despite the #SOTU game show episode, Trump's budget shows why Washington Republicans love him: he talks like a populist but governs like Paul Ryan. A few highlights: Trump's budget cuts $2 TRILLION from Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and other safety net programs:
The Trump cuts include $130 billion in "changes to Medicare prescription-drug pricing" (ie making seniors pay more) ;
Concerned about clean air and water? Climate change? Trump cuts the Environmental Protection Agency by 26%;
Housing concerns? HUD loses 15%

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention loses 9% (the admin claims they'll keep the $ for infectious diseases like coronavirus...)
And some do get more:
Military spending goes UP 0.3% to $740.5 billion;
And there's $2 billion for the wall Mexico was supposed to pay for.

On the left is a "where the cuts are" summary that I screengrabbed earlier from the @WSJ story which has since been updated to the one on the right (lists the source as the OMB).
