Of course he didn't.  He doesn't care about deficits.  I can assure you if Trump forced Congress to cut the Federal budget Goofy would be whining about all the people impacted by the cuts.  And if Trump refused to negotiate with the House to come up with a budget Goofy would be whining about a government shutdown.  He is a hypocrite and suffering from extreme TDS.

But more to the point, and yet another lesson in civics for the failed public school grad, it is Congress that first has to pass a budget.  And it starts in the House of Representatives although the Senate or POTUS can and do create their own budgets to try to frame the debate and establish their own priorities.  But at the end of the day, the House passes a budget and sends it to the Senate for reconciliation.  Assuming they can agree to a budget and both the House and Senate pass it then the President can either sign it, not sign it or veto it. 

I would also point out that this deficit budget came about after Democrats took over control of the House.  So since they need both the House and the Senate to pass it Trump obviously had to negotiate with the Democrat controlled on a budget.  Schoolhouse Rock knows more about how our govt works than Goofy.  So no Goofy, this isn't "Trump's" budget....this is a budget developed by Democrats and Republicans.
