Absolutely hilarious. $163 billion is approximately 2.3% of the federal budget. And we'll lose far more revenue than that due to the certain tax cuts, and lost revenue collection due to gutting the IRS.

We'll know that Trump is serious about cutting spending when he proposes a legitimate version of the Grand Bargain (look it up, OP).

In the meantime, Trump is doing nothing, and his supporters are content to accept basically doing nothing as ..... "a start."

It's almost like Trump only wanted to get elected to stay out of prison, give himself a big tax cut, and enable massive opportunities to grift. Who could have ever predicted that?

And it's not $163 billion in the first place. They cut 163B from non-defense programs and added about the same amount to defense and homeland security. So it's not a cut to the overall budget at all. It's just a transfer from some departments (ones that actually help people) to others (ones that enrich defense contractors and kidnap immigrants).
