There is no way  Trump and Republicans will 100% balance (or even 80%) the budget in the next three years. But there is a way Trump will slowly manage to bring it under control-as in level it off. Only then can it be (slowly, like taking knots out of a necklace) balanced. One knot by one knot, starting at the end and working ones way back to the beginning.

I hold out little to no hope Trump will get assistance from the Republicans in doing that. 

We have had a dysfunctional Congress for very long time...way before Trump. Even before Obama, although Obama got the same dysfunctional results. Look to Congress. They need to be addressed. All of them.
