The U.S. economy will stay on the upswing during the Trump administration despite the warnings of critics who have a "vested interest in seeing us fail," Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney told "Fox News Sunday." "The things we’ve done on the deregulatory agenda, the things we’ve done on taxes, are not a sugar high," Mulvaney said. It’s fundamentally changing the way we create wealth in this country." Mulvaney also suggested that President Trump had canceled his planned military parade in Washington, D.C. for reasons unrelated to funding. Mulvaney added that D.C. is a heavily liberal area, and suggested it would not be unreasonable to assume officials there would stand in Trump's way.
