I wasn't sure where to put this and has little to do with the President's credibility. But, this is fascinating. Both of these show that the core pillars of Trump's campaign and with the latter conservative ideology are both underwater in public opinion.
Is it pure irrationality? Did people just want a change, give Trump a chance and are already experiencing massive buyers remorse? Or did people really fall prey to the "we are going to win so much we'll be tired of winning" from a guy with a history of more losing than winning and sever mental handicaps?
The quicker he realizes that he really doesn't have a mandate and focuses on important things to all such as infrastructure/job and wage growth the better and more effective he will be. If he continues down the dead-end healthcare and wall paths his presidency will pass him by and he will be one of the most ineffectual of all time.

To what extent would the spending problem need to be fixed before implementing these tax cuts?
Would spending need to reach a zero trajectory so that only these tax cuts would increase the debt?
Would the debt level need to be reduced to the extent that these tax cuts merely offset the reduction so that we remain at our current debt level?
Or would we need to curtail enough spending so that the implementation of these tax cuts results in a debt level that's lower than what we have today?

Not that I'm a fan of the guy and I could be completely naive here but I actually thought Pence didn't know. During that entire time wasn't Trump basically freezing him out of everything because he didn't like/trust him as an insider?

Nope, that's just what they want you to think. Pence "lead" the transition team, he vetted Flynn, he knew exactly what his past was like. Which is why they can't reveal documents because they would bare that out and they already crafted their "poor old locked out Pence just along for the ride" narrative.

It was a point in time ripe for a con man. Simple as that.
- Proliferation of fake news is just starting and the mediums most susceptible weren't ready for it. - Two historically unpopular candidates for president - Economic uncertainty for an aging populace led to yearning for a time gone by that is never returning
It was just a convergence of factors. Like I said, just be glad he is an incompetent.
