In a Monday tweet, President Trump hailed the budget deal as “a real compromise in order to give another big victory to our Great Military and Vets!” House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, “While this deal is not perfect, compromise is necessary in divided government.” Senator David Perdue (R-Ga.) similarly described the deal as a “reasonable compromise.”

Former Massachusetts governor-turned Utah Senator Mitt Romney, the same man who implemented the state version of Obamacare before Obamacare was a thing, gave a cryptic “No comment.” Economic advisor Larry Kudlow defended the deal by saying that it contained "very modest" spending increases. But not to worry, President Trump will focus more intently on trimming deficits if he's elected for a second term.
