“You can’t outspend a Democrat. Trump may find this out the hard way.”
You don’t have to outspend them if they spend it for you. This keeps Trump clean from the optics of spending (get conservatives off his back) AND get his priorities addressed — using Democratic spending. Having your cake and eating it, too. If this analysis is indeed true — absolute GENIUS
Pelosi and Schumer aren't going to do his bidding. They don't owe him anything. They are a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them.
Goverment spending has a funny way of getting away from you. Money spent on bureaucracy is forever out of your control as those systems eventually metastacize into government employee union sinkholes. Reagan made this mistake with Tip O'Neill. Bush created the TSA and then handed it to the unions. The list of these types of errors are long and they always start by cooperating with Democrats.
