Trump has called for steep tax cuts that would add at least $5 trillion to the 10-year deficit.

That figure could rise to $11 trillion depending on how his proposals are structured.

It's unclear how much of Trump ’s agenda will pass the Republican -led House and Senate .

Republican leaders are looking at a substantial increase to the $825 billion military budget this year .

They're looking at about $150 billion , if not more, in new money for border security and stepped-up immigration enforcement.

Democrats say that Trump is bamboozling voters with a push for tax cuts that disproportionately benefit upper earners.
