How is President Trump addressing federal spending concerns while protecting essential social programs?

President Trump is strategically protecting critical programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security while targeting what he considers wasteful spending. Rather than cutting these essential social safety nets, Trump has indicated he would focus on eliminating questionable expenditures like 'hamster fight clubs' and 'cocaine that we're pumping into animals.' This approach demonstrates Trump's political acumen, as described by Kayleigh McEnany, who calls him a 'mastermind at how to fix a problem without damaging himself and the party politically.' By preserving popular programs while promising to eliminate seemingly frivolous spending, Trump aims to address federal budget concerns without alienating key voter constituencies who depend on these social programs.
