David Petersen: Sen. Lee, How can you still support Trump?

I am a moderate to conservative Republican. There are some things the president has done that I like: relaxing bureaucratic regulations, shrinking Bears Ears, nominating two Supreme Court judges that I support, etc.

The tax cuts that you supported were a mistake. Few of the corporations used the largess to help their employees but instead used it to buy back their stock. In our country’s history, when the economy is going well, the deficit has gone down, but not with Trump. It has grown tremendously under his watch and you and your colleagues need to take the blame as well.
