Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney called out Republicans for being “a lot less interested” in deficits under President Trump than when former President Obama was in office, The Washington Post reported.
Mulvaney spoke at the Oxford Union and said that the GOP is “very interested in deficits when there is a Democrat in the White House,” according to audio from the speech obtained by the Post.
"The worst thing in the whole world is deficits when Barack Obama was the president,” he said. “Then Donald Trump became president, and we’re a lot less interested as a party.”
The acting chief of staff then added he found the $1 trillion deficit in the Trump era “extraordinarily disturbing.” But he added that neither political party cared about the deficit anymore, and the GOP is “evolving” since the president’s election.
