How Trump Plans to Pay for Campaign Promises

April Ryan, the White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks and the author of At Mama's Knee: Mothers and Race in Black and White (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2016), gives an inside look at the White House press briefing and the latest news from Washington, including how President Trump's proposed budget cuts will fund the fulfillment of his campaign promises, like building a border wall with Mexico.
"You have a budget that’s calling for money for this wall and we’re paying for it," said Ryan. "When you say ‘less government’ — he’s blowing out the deficit for many items he has promised during his run for this office."
