Medicaid is a big part of the budget, as is interest on the debt.

You are right that there will probably not be any spending reform, but the President can only approve or veto spending. The budget is the responsibility of congress. Trump has cut spending where he has control, such as payments to the UN. Admittedly these are a drop in the bucket.

The President is the leader of his political party. Kicking the can over to Congress is not leadership. It's more and more obvious the President doesn't want to deal with the mounting federal debt that will eventually bring this country to its knees.
