Me thinks that they will vote against it, Trump will have to revise it(cut out the wall funding and roll back the budget cuts etc)

Does this need 60 votes? If not, then it'll absolutely pass.

The presidential budget is very rarely enacted in full. It's more a sort of vague plan. In between the House Ghoul Caucus and the congressmen with their personal random pet projects on the chopping board, it's going to be very hard to get the thing through. The basic gist - cuts to everything that cannot be used to funnel into military contractors or ICE - will get through though.

The budget as it stands is DOA, but some variant of it will be passed by the Republican-controlled Congress sooner or later.

Republicans like to talk about cutting government spending, but actually doing it is another thing entirely. The breadth and depth of the cuts for the current plan are way too steep for even most of ardent of budget hawks to get on board with. It will hurt their districts' interests.
