Comment: Those "talking points" as you call them are simply reality. Your subjective filters may not want to accept those truths but they still exist. My suspicion is that you're the one parroting someone else's talking points, not the author.

As an example: while researching Trump's projected budget cuts to the state department I found a Breitbart piece predicting a 37% reduction in their budget. In the article, the author of this particular opinion piece took the side of cutting foreign aid while increasing defense spending. Now all the conservative faithful are simply parroting Breitbart.

Basically, Trump's budget merely reflects his monumental ignorance.
