He spends way too much. He is not a fiscal conservative. Spending two trillion more than we take in.

And he needs to be more delicate on tariffs. Raw materials imported should have low or no tariffs to help out American businesses.

In that the President submits a budget to Congress and Congress has he power of the press, it is hard to see how you can blame President Trump for the spending. Do you have specific accounts where Trump applied executive power to increase spending where, in your opinion, it wasn't warranted.
Can I assume that you are in agreement with his domestic policies?
"Raw materials imported should have low or no tariffs to help out American businesses." A very broad statement, what are these raw materials and from what countries do we import them? What businesses are being damaged by these tariffs?

Power of the Purse?

Not the way I understand the budgeting process. The Democrat representative and the Republican representative hammer out a budget with presidential oversight.

Remember Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan hammering out the budget in the Oval Office with a few sips of Scotch Whisky?

So Trump could choose to do more to limit spending, but his agenda is more important.

One of the reasons we are still sending monthly checks to the Taliban.

That fact is, the margins are too thin for Trump to get anywhere on cutting spending. Democrats and losers like Murkowski will always block those efforts. Why should Trump waste any time on a fruitless pursuit of spending cuts? He’s getting things done that Democrats can’t block.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

I don't disagree. Easier to achieve your goals if you throw meat to the Democrats and RINO's to distract them.
