There are several relevant stories here. If you are short on time go straight to the graphic. The first several come from WaPo: The Trump Budget will cut the arts, science, and assistance to the poor , and the Graphic Illustrates the Budget . Basically the money will go to the military and homeland security (and part of that is the wall that Mexico is supposed to pay for) with some increases for Veterans Affairs (the only part of this I like), while pretty much every other department is cut. WaPo compares this Trump "Blueprint" to Reagan's re-organization and has two stories the analyze the impact to the arts and the impact to science and research. DMN addresses the Wall Price Tag in the Budget and the NYT echoes the concerns of WaPo on Trump Budget that will hurt his supporters (although there is more marginally more money to treat opiod addiction) and Elminating the National Endowment for the Humanities and Growing the Pentagon at the expense of the EPA .
I don't know about you, but this turns the country back 100 years in my opinion. He is creating a budget for himself and what he and his rich friends want. Gone will be national parks, historical sites, art programs, money for education. It is blowing up government as we know it.
