President Trump’s budget director is preparing options for reforming entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security to present to Trump after the pending government spending battle is over, in an effort to win the president over on spending reductions that he opposed on the campaign trail.

“As soon as the 2018 spending budget is done at the end of next week. I’m hoping to put together something for the president to look at on the other pieces of entitlement spending, or mandatory spending,” Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said Monday in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
