Trump doesn’t fit in any one party box. He just made a move a Democrat would make, and as a Republican I don’t like it, but as a Trumpian I realize he is doing this to show how the Democrats place politics above the American people.

Kind of disagree, that is a semantics argument of: "it can't possibly be a cut, because we absolutely have to pay it (deficit) back".

Not really. Bottom line: when I pay less taxes, it is a tax cut. What if the world blew up? The US defaults? My state secedes? The notion that 'the only possible outcome is I pay it back' is just inaccurate. The only actual thing, that actually happened, is I immediately paid less taxes (ie, a tax cut).

I'm much more happy that I'm paying less money now, and the onus is now on government to try to take people's money away again.
